The F-21 concept offers a chance to develop in-house engineering expertise, bolster domestic manufacturing capabilities, and craft a platform that is tailor-made for India 's strategic needs.

Lockheed Martin’s proposal for the Indian Air Force to use the fighter jet has important implications for the air power of the country.

This would change India 's aerospace development and national defense industry.

India could go closer to its goal of increased autonomy, industrial depth, and operational effectiveness if the F-21 is selected.

How well the proposed agreement fits with India 's long-term strategic, economic, and technological goals will determine the final decision.

India has recently added the Dassault Rafale to its fleet, continues to depend on the Su-30MKI and is in the process of developing its own Tejas fighter.
