Americans and Swedes have been waiting for India to “mature” under fighter contracts

56
Representatives of the American Boeing Corporation and the Swedish manufacturer SAAB expressed some impatience with India's final procurement plans during an international arms exhibition in Singapore. aviation technicians. We are talking about New Delhi's plans to acquire fighters for the country's naval forces. India previously announced that it intends to purchase 57 military aircraft. A statement was made that they would either purchase from Boeing, or from SAAB, or in proportions from some and others.

Representatives of the American and Swedish corporations in Singapore expressed the hope that, at least in 2019, India would still decide with whom and in what quantity fighters would contract.



Boeing Co offers F / A-18 Super Hornet, and SAAB AB offers Gripen M.

The representative of the Indian Navy said that at the moment in India, work is underway to describe the specific requirements for aircraft that are planned to be purchased. In addition, it is emphasized that the country's leadership is considering the future contract through the prism of the “Made in India” program. This program consists in the fact that if we make purchases of military equipment abroad, the supplier must transfer to the Indian side also the production technology.

Earlier in the Indian press appeared information about the US readiness to open in the Indian territory production facilities for assembling aircraft F-16.

              A foreign car is not only more comfortable, but also more technologically advanced, more economical and safer. With all its pillows, ABSs, CAP and on-board computers ...

        For those naive who believe in such provocative comments as yours, I explain: In the Union (Russia), in contrast to the West, defense technology and civil engineering technology went in different ways, including at the level of metal technology. Everything really advanced was secreted and transferred to the defense industry. As a result, the gap between the level of technology between the defense industry and civil engineering is huge. As a result, Russian (Soviet) military equipment is in many ways the most reliable in the world. Civil no.

          Alex, of course you are right. But at the same time, I draw attention to such an indisputable fact - Wealthy countries prefer to buy more expensive Amarican, western, rather than Russian, cheaper aircraft. Why's that? Maybe because the Russian engine of a combat aircraft consumes more fuel per unit of power, maybe because Russian electronics weighs twice as much as competitors, maybe because our air-to-air long-range missiles are not so long-range? I don’t know, I’m just asking questions. Hindus are well aware of our technique and, for some reason, are trying to acquire Yusovskaya or Western. Why?

    This is my personal marketing research ...

    You probably ride a Lada? Why only Lukashenko does not understand this and does not go to them? request

    I wonder what kind of Russian military equipment do you compare with Lada? Maybe airplanes? Well, for example, su-27, 30, 34, 35? Maybe helicopters? Let's say ka-52, mi-28n? And, probably, tanks. Not ships with submarines. I will not speak about missile systems, including anti-aircraft systems and electronic warfare systems. It is unlikely that you had them in mind. By the way, I could be wrong, but Russia is second in terms of arms sales. Probably many are not bad at such "Lada".

    There were tanks with folding axles. Now there will be airplanes with folding wings. I can imagine an Indian fighter. And to deliver airplanes without transferring technology to Pakistan. And I bet.

    No one in their right mind will give them the technology of modern aircraft, so for so long and there is no contract.
