The above makes perfect sense.
It also makes it easier to get foreign expertise on board. Boeing, for example, might be interested in co-operating, to stay in the fighter game. SAAB could see it as a Gripen successor, & Dassault, etc. as a commercially useful venture & a way of keeping their hands in after Typhoon & Rafale.
So Swerve, if I do read you clear and loud, emerging countries should organize their advanced technology projects (the ones that they push painfully forward just to cut their dependence) to suit the old order of the post-colonial industrial age? Do I am right?
(Sry for Boeing and the Swede)
Given that China is still dependent of foreign tech 30 years after setting the trend to be self-sufficient in aerotech (what they are in many other sectors where they did had a light hand when it came to recruits foreign expertise), I would say that this is CERTAINLY NOT what other should do.
India has Tata in Fr (Toulouse) to get some experience, trace and contract on individual basis the required experts
Korea has got a life culture that can seduce as much as the US most of the 20+ newly graduated engineers to work in-country
Japan could relax its posture of isolationism when it comes to defense tech
Turkey can surf on the bulimia of racism to attract talented Phd and be the point of focus of tech excellences on the south Mediterranean shores (with Israel of course)
The years to comes are not the eighties. There is plenty of industrial successes to set examples for the audacious. That it could be in the IT or in the mobile phone industry as well as in the aero or space tech is a sign to come.
