A contract with India for the supply of C-400 will be signed soon

61
Edition Economic Times (India) writes about the progress between Russia and India on the conclusion of a contract for the supply of anti-aircraft missile systems C-400. The publication, citing an unnamed source, argues that negotiations between Moscow and New Delhi on the conclusion of contracts are in the "final stage."

It is reported that the contract may be signed in the near future. In particular, the talk is about the likely signing of a document during the visit of the Minister of Defense of India Nirmala Sitraman to the Russian capital (the first woman as Minister of Defense of India in stories country).



A contract with India for the supply of C-400 will be signed soon


Ms. Sitharaman’s visit is scheduled for April. This will be her first visit to the Russian capital since her appointment as head of the military department.

It is also reported that the issue of the joint development of a fifth-generation FGFA fighter can finally move from a dead end.

Recall that in India recently there has been a dispute between supporters of cooperation with Russia to create the newest military aircraft and opponents. Opponents argue that India’s 4 investments in billions of dollars in the FGFA project are too “big”, and that one could consider buying airplanes, for example, from the USA (F-35). Opponents of this theory remind that the United States will never transfer production technology to India - firstly, and secondly, India, for obvious reasons, has neither ammunition nor an F-35 service system, including tankers.

    that India’s $ 4 billion investment in the FGFA project is too big,
    Of course, a big investment. You can already buy two dozen F-35 "empty" ones. And admire them later. Well, or drag them around in flower parades.

      Underestimating the enemy is a direct path to defeat. If this plane were so bad, half the countries of the world would not line up behind it, except for banana countries. And the Hindus will take the Su-57 in a slightly modified form, they will not go anywhere. Even if they don’t take it, it’s no longer critically important for the project, because in any case, after five years it will be brought to mind, and the troops will go even earlier.

          An interesting statement of the question winked And where did C-400 manage to prove its effectiveness against F-35? When he proves, then there will be a line for such complexes. But here the question also rests on the cost of C-400. One division costs half a lard of Baku rubles, taking into account staff training. It is expensive even for non-poor countries. So they have to choose between the Air Force and Air Defense. It is logical that they will buy airplanes when there is not enough money for both this and that.

              Not only expensive, but completely ineffective. In PVOshnikov, one plus is relative to aviation - they are closer to the ground. Less time to fall. Taking into account the dead zones, interference, active counteraction of the army and tactical aviation, the air defense system will not last long. C-400 is more on duty complex than combat. For the first opening and reflection of the raid.

And I have a reasonable question: is it time to release something more modern, say under the name S-450? As for the S-500, this is still a different echelon of defense than the S-400.

            I mean this ... the S-350 is being completed, which is several times more effective than the S-300PS and Buk-M1-2, which Vityaz should replace. By analogy with the S-350, it is time to create a S-450, which will begin to replace the S-400 slowly.
            It is clear that in many respects the S-400 of the 2007 model is significantly different from the Triumph of the 2017 release, but this is still modernization, and not the creation of a fundamentally new one. I’m not saying that the S-400 is out of date, I’m saying that a qualitative step forward is needed in order to break away from competitors in this matter.

                But however, Vityaz was just conceived as a replacement for BUKu-M1-2 ... at the same time, I am not saying that the same BUK will be immediately removed from service. BUKs are also being modernized and very successfully, but the complex itself was created even during the USSR and it would be time to replace it, to create something else.
                At the same time, you forget about Vityaz’s arsenal and given this, your statement that Vityaz will not be able to replace BUK is debatable.

                Automation is a good thing ... I don’t think that a BUK needs this, given that the Shell is a short-range air defense system, which means that the reaction to interception should be faster than that of a BUK, which is a medium-range train. Apparently therefore, on the Shell is this function. hi

        Very good news about the purchase of the S-400 Indians. Then our specialists will undoubtedly dig into it and find weaknesses

        I do not think that the value for the technical intelligence of the sold C400 will be very low. As a maximum, there will already be well-known technologies. It is enough that the capabilities of the c400 in the export version are higher than the foreign counterparts going for export.

          So we need it. We are not going to fight with the Russians, but with countries that will have an export version of the S-400

    After China bought the S-400, buying India is only a matter of time and price.
    In any case, they will buy, and therefore ours should bargain and not be led by the constant whining of the Indians about joint production.
    Hindus, as always, for their pennies want to get a discount on goods and built factories and technology and ...
    Let them invest hundreds of billions of dollars into development, then we’ll talk about joint production.
    In the meantime, let the carrots be sucked.

    A contract with India for the supply of C-400 will be signed soon

    This "will be signed in the near future" is no longer funny. What only in the near future they will not sign with India! Most likely nothing ...

    The only question is time:
    1 How soon will the S-400 trials be held in India, where the Indians will declare the complete failure and superiority of American systems? At the same time, they will not refuse to purchase, just ask to lower the price.
    2 How much time will it take for the Americans to get full information on the S-400 from India?

      It will take a little less time than getting the same information from Turkey or Saudi Arabia. And they want to get it right away, they’ll buy it directly from Russia, Chemezov has already given the go-ahead wink

        I think that Chemezov, as a KGB officer, has already calculated this situation (the sale of the S-400 SA, Turkey, with a high probability of studying these systems by our partners). Therefore, most likely, these systems will be delivered in the “wrong form”

      "How soon will the tests pass in India S-400" ////

      This, by the way, is interesting. Hindus like to test weapons before buying at their training ground and at their targets. There will be a serious check for the S-400 for compliance with the declared performance characteristics

      To subjugate the national air defense of India, Turkey, and possibly the Saudis. This is a question of Our security rather than a lot of money. IMHO

    The most terrible corruption in international trade is the arms trade. India is a leader. She surpassed the Arabs. Can "throw" at any stage of the contract. But we cannot ignore such a big "bazaar".

    Something is not believed. In India, the majority of Anglophiles are now in government and parliament. And they have been rattling about 15 years with statements about the purchase of our aircraft, and their air defense has long been hooked on Israeli developments.

    And, what, the S-400 was specially made for idiots to poke around in it.
