Lockheed pitches made-in-India C-130J Super Hercules line as IAF weighs 80-plane transport buy

Lockheed pitches made-in-India C-130J Super Hercules line as IAF weighs 80-plane transport buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:53 ET Lockheed Martin has offered to set up a C-130J Super Hercules final-assembly line in India as the Indian Air Force (IAF) moves toward buying up to 80 military transport aircraft, a PTI report carried by local media said. mint The pitch lands as India tries to modernise the air force’s transport fleet, a workhorse capability used to move troops, vehicles and relief supplies across long distances. It also underscores New Delhi’s push to tie major defence buys to local manufacturing, forcing overseas contractors to show how much work they will shift to India.

Space and Defense Stocks: RTX, Lockheed, Boeing, Rocket Lab in Focus as Geopolitics and Year-End Trading Set Up Monday’s Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:59 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. stock exchanges are shut for the weekend, leaving space and defense investors to parse a dense batch of late-week headlines and year-end macro signals before trading resumes Monday morning. The New York Stock Exchange’s core trading session runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, meaning the next real “price discovery” window for aerospace and defense names arrives with Monday’s open—likely in thin, end-of-year liquidity where headlines can move stocks faster than fundamentals.

The sector’s tone shifted early Wednesday after reports that the Trump administration is preparing an executive order that could curb dividends, share buybacks, and executive compensation for defense contractors whose major programs run significantly over budget or fall behind schedule.

F-35 vs Saab Gripen: Jobs, Leaked Scores and Public Opinion Collide in Canada’s Fighter Jet Showdown

OTTAWA — December 8, 2025 — Canada’s long‑running quest to replace its aging CF‑18s has crystallized into a three‑way tug‑of‑war: a Swedish promise of 10,000 aerospace jobs, a leaked evaluation chart that overwhelmingly favours the U.S.‑made F‑35, and a fresh Nanos/CTV poll showing voters care more about getting the best fighter jet than maximizing domestic employment. At stake is far more than a single aircraft order. The decision will shape Canada’s defence industry, its relationship with the United States and Europe, and the Royal Canadian Air Force’s ability to defend North America for decades.
