Is F-35 to blame for the failure of the FGFA project?

Information about New Delhi’s lack of interest in implementing the joint FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft) project with the Russian Federation, involving the creation of the first Indian 57 fighter on the basis of Su-5, is a stuffing organized by American corporations, reports Lenta.ru report statement of the chief editor of the magazine "National Defense" Igor Korotchenko.

Vzbory about indifference of India in the project to create a fifth-generation fighter FGFA together with Russia can be regarded as a manifestation of unfair competition from US aviation corporations - Lockheed Martin and Boeing,

said Korotchenko.

He noted that “today there is a purposeful campaign against Russian-Indian military technical cooperation, given that the US is actively promoting the latest versions of its combat aircraft to the Indian market” and plans to continue “to supply fifth-generation fighter jets to Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

Earlier, Western media reported that the curtailment of the FGFA program could threaten Russia's plans for the serial production of the Su-57 fighter, since Moscow saw the partnership with India as the main source of funding for its fighter project.

Recall that in April, the Janes edition, citing Indian officials, reported that India had suspended cooperation with Russia on the FGFA project. The publication also noted that the Indian side notified Moscow about this.

that information was stuffing or this is still unclear - where are the official statements of India on this issue?

There is no official, as one would expect. Unverified data, so to speak.

[cariperpaint]

Well, in fact, they themselves arranged a circus with this. this camomile left them sideways. although how personally I think they will simply exit the program and just be ready to buy 57. They will not be given the technology and it makes sense then to invest yards of money?

Good day to all. If, in matters related to a particular business, one begins to weave a personal attitude to this business from a side that has nothing to do with this business, then this business cannot be, since it will not be able to take place with such an approach. As, for example, Russia is completely violet, like on forums in Vietnam, some sort of abstract Vietnamese called the Zelenodolsky worker and other Russian workers hard-faced monkeys :) If only the advance was listed. Or you can imagine, for example, how the Russian side declares to the German Siemens: at your forum of turbinists, just now, they discussed the delivery of gas turbine engines to the Perm state district power station, and called us krivoruki drunkards. All, leave yourself an advance, we do not need turbines. We can do without her. We’ll go to ALSTOM and buy from them, they don’t call names on the forums at us, and in general they love us dearly))))))))))))))))
In general, I think this is their ornate approach to trade. Hence all this. They are heavy customers, but in my opinion, for today, we do not care. The main stages of the tests passed, and add. money is no longer so relevant. Will be - well, production will be cheaper. They won’t be - it’s good, except for them, no one will pull money for money, and technology will not go left ... IMHO, of course.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

involving the creation of the first 57th generation Indian fighter based on the Su-5, is a throw-in organized by American corporations,

It’s not without reason that the "comrades from Israel" are so joyful that they have unbelted (they have a share there))) .. Like, we don’t respect the Indians, etc.
We respect India and wish them good and protection, this is our credo with the Russians always has been and will be ..! Russia is not a merchant, we are defenders ..
If the Indians want no one to touch or threaten them ... Make friends with the Russians! And you will be happy, believe us. We have already studied ALL of them! he he

If work is ongoing, then why get distracted and make excuses for every yellow newspaper?
And then, like tamahawks, they will blow to the last that it is not possible. Until the photos are shown. No one attracts them for lying. So they sell it ..

This “stuffing” of Indians suits, otherwise they would have disproved ...

Is F-35 to blame for the failure of the FGFA project?

On this occasion, I will say that how can someone else be blamed for making their own decisions? In extreme cases, the level of corruption of the Indians is uniquely to blame ...

Well, purely logical, the official information that India was part of the project was. But there wasn’t any way out. Well, everyone can conclude for themselves what is a stuffing.

[_Jack_]

on the one hand, yes, on the other hand, this news is broadcast all over the world, and India is in no hurry to refute it, although it would seem that it is not at all difficult for them to do, hence different assumptions, in any case we are waiting for an official statement

[aszzz888]

So guess now ... Indians will participate in the project, will not they?

[Hunter 2]

But We are waiting for - a whole series of fascinating articles on this topic!

[just exp]

Well, only on this subject can a whole portal be made, where there will be only news devoted to what Indians think about fgfa
Hindu refused to fafa.
Indians pondered FGF
Indians decided to return to FGF
Indians decided not to return to FGF
Indians meditate on the subject of FGF
Indians .... another 84351 variation on the topic what other thoughts the Indians might have.

[kit88]

Why guess?
Whoever needs it will pick up the phone and ring the Indians.

In my opinion, the failed marketing policy with the SU-57 itself is to blame, these are constant high-profile statements and subsequent postponements, various serial lots announced, more or less torment with an engine, where the second stage does not smell, etc. All together, this creates the impression that he and the Russian Federation are not really needed, the same is the case with Armata.

[Alexey-74]

Russia will not lose its face in any way. The cunning Indians want technology, the arrogant Indians ... ... the Americans want to fly their F-35 ..... The Russian Federation already has a Su-57 (you can say), but the Indians will have to choose between a real 5th generation airplane, or PR-invisible aircraft .........

[Sergey985]

All the same, India has no choice if they want to get the 5th generation. They will puff, but invest in a joint project.

[YELLOWSTONE]

they both want to receive, and not to share a fish

Quote: Alexey-74

.U RF Su-57 already has (you can say)

No, we still do not have SU-57. Product 30 will be tested in two years. The entire arsenal has not been tested. Therefore, we only send a test batch of 12 cars to the troops and then, with product 117.
And the Indians need a spark, and the transfer of production (the whole cycle) to their territory. In order to create a spark, we need an already tested aircraft with the whole range of weapons, new engines, radar, and so on ...
And there is no talk at all about the transfer of production and technology to India. That is why Indians do not sign a contract.

[ML-334]

In my opinion, you need to drop a couple of f35s, whose I think everyone here guesses as a result of which we omit two beautiful countries, of course the Syrians.

and we have immediately Indians began to fool our local linear experts after the news.

[impostor]

India will certainly return to the Russian project, but Uncle Vova’s first offer is always the best. On the second approach, you have to fork out more seriously.

[X Y Z]

And India, as expected, did not respond to the stuffing, because it is very useful to her in terms of crushing Moscow.

[Zaurbek]

Until Su57 flies in our army, as F-35 is now, there will be no normal export. Another thing is that the Hindus (as in the case of the Su-30MKI) could have some technology. And heavy (namely heavy) fighters of India are needed just like the Russian Federation due to the territory and the ocean around and no light / medium fighter will replace it. And this is either F-15/22, or Su-30/35/57 and that's it.

[YELLOWSTONE]

in Russia it flies once there is such an index, and even flew to Syria

[Zaurbek]

For comparison, the Su-27 and Su-27 (UB) have flown and served with might and main. in the 90s, so the Indians invested in modernization. And then a new plane with unclear indicators, moreover, on the units of the Su-35S ....

[YELLOWSTONE]

Su-30 is not a modernization of the Su-27
if some units are compatible and they have a Su-35S then this is only a plus

[Zaurbek]

Su-30 is the first major modernization, Su-35 is the second major modernization of the T-10

[YELLOWSTONE]

different aircraft in similar form, especially the Su-30

[Zaurbek]

The most modified version is the Su-35S ....

[YELLOWSTONE]

then the most modified - Su-34

[Zaurbek]

Yes, but we are considering fighters. Single and spark.

[YELLOWSTONE]

and this one too

[Zaurbek]

Then compare its power plant and find similarities with the Su-27 ...

[Zaurbek]

A commercial version of a two-seat fighter-interceptor based on the Su-27UB with in-flight refueling systems and satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS). The first flight is 1993. Engines - AL-31F. The limited internal volume of the aircraft does not allow to place all the equipment on board, which entails the placement of part of the equipment in containers at the external nodes of the suspension. These include laser ranging and targeting systems for the use of guided weapons with laser seekers and thermal imaging systems for detecting targets in the infrared range, which allows working at night and in difficult weather conditions. The aircraft is equipped with ejection seats K-36DM, installed with an inclination of 30 °. According to its combat characteristics, the Su-30K can additionally use high-precision guided air-to-surface weapons with a launch range of up to 250 km for sea and ground targets. A wide range of weapons, the ability not only to conduct air combat, but also to attack land and sea targets. The Su-30K got the opportunity to additionally use high-precision tactical air-to-surface weapons - X-31A anti-ship missiles, X-31P anti-aircraft missiles, X-59M long-range television missiles and X-29T short-range missiles, KAB-500 and KAB-1500. At the same time, the efficiency of solving the problem of gaining superiority in the air through the use of missiles with AGSN RVV-AE was increased.

[YELLOWSTONE]

on a glider another plane and was issued elsewhere

[Zaurbek]

Su-30 is in the same place as Su-27UB, Su-35S is in the same place as Su-27 ...

[YELLOWSTONE]

in general, the Su-30 is not in the same place as the Su-27 and Su-35S
the second cabin does not lead to such difficulties
the index is still not in vain another?

[Zaurbek]

There is a certain equipment at the enterprises for one and two local options, it is different ... Even the Su-25 and Su-25UB were made in different enterprises.

[Zaurbek]

In general, a bunch of ununified aircraft - Su-30/34/35. Really need a Su-35S and two local Su-35 (as the modernization of the Su-30go) and that's it. We get planes with the same systems and engines.

[YELLOWSTONE]

single Su-30 and Su-34 no
they are trying to unify everything

[Zaurbek]

Su30 is already becoming obsolete ... at least in the power plant (it is even older on the Su-34), but you cannot put the AL-41 there. Su-35S is the newest version of the T-10 (there are a lot of things that can be used from the Su-57, without alterations.). The Su-34 is generally atavism, it can easily be replaced by a Su-30 with a hanging container (They do this in India).

[YELLOWSTONE]

F-15 and F-15C are also very different due to engines, or fit another
in India, maybe it’s not as big as Russia

[Zaurbek]

But they do not simultaneously stand on new airplanes and in parallel these options are not available and the same engine is on the F-16. We have on the Su-34 - 2 × turbofan AL-31F-M1
Su-30SM 2 × turbofan "AL-31F" (AL-31FP on the Su-30SM)
Su-35S 2x "AL-41F1S". And all this together with airplanes is issued in parallel ...

[YELLOWSTONE]

F-15 - Pratt & Whitney F100
F-16 - General Electric F110, (even different companies)
F-18 - General Electric F404,
F-22 - Pratt & Whitney F119
F-35A - Pratt & Whitney F135, I don't want to write about others
and Americans also have many different planes

[Zaurbek]

These are different planes with different weights. All my examples here have an analogue -F-15 in different versions ... The F-16 has the same engine .... And the F22 and 35 are a new generation ... of which the F-35 replaces all strike airplanes (tactical). This is an example of unification!

[YELLOWSTONE]

any F-15 is not analogous even to the Su-27,
on F-15 and F-16, not only engines, but even the companies that make these engines are different
all of the above American aircraft are not the same
Americans have less unification
F-35 cannot replace even A-10

[Zaurbek]

F-15, if not an analogue of the Su-27, then whom? And F-35 in the end is intended to replace everything ... and F-18 and A-10 and Harier and F-16

[YELLOWSTONE]

nobody, F-15 did with an eye on the MiG-25
yes, still F-14 not intended, it was an advertising move
he cannot replace any of this

[Zaurbek]

The F-15 may have been done with caution, but it is not a high-speed, high-altitude specialized interceptor. This is a heavy universal fighter for gaining superiority in the air. What am I Su-27 and is not Mig = 25 in all versions. F-14 is closer to the topic, but also specialized. You forgot to mention the F-111, it was also replaced by the F-15E - the shock version of the F-15.

[YELLOWSTONE]

when they did the F-15, they looked back on the maneuverability of the MiG-25, he was forbidden to engage in maneuverable combat with the MiG-25 above 11000
F-14 was the least specialized aircraft

[Zaurbek]

In all wars, fighters did not fight there ... The MiG-25 specializes in intercepting bombers and reconnaissance. And not "air superiority." F-15 and Su-27 can carry out MiG missions, they are maximally universal.

[YELLOWSTONE]

Because the F-15 before the advent of the AIM-120D simply evaded it and with its ceiling in 18000-20000 immediately went to the ground well below 11000.
The first MiG-25 victim, for example, in 1991 (shot down earlier) was the F-18.
F-14 Iran long-range MiG-25 could not get even once.

[Zaurbek]

90% of fighter fights were much lower. Altitudes 11000m are dangerous for shelling ... from the ground.

[YELLOWSTONE]

did they themselves talk about it?
because they had nothing to catch because of the MiG-25 at higher altitudes
11tys more mustangs fought
that is, an F-15 or F-18 flew to itself, met the MiG-25, and immediately went down because it posed a threat from the ground? where a small radius SAM will get even better.

[Zaurbek]

Read about fighting in the air with Israel ...

[YELLOWSTONE]

it says something like that.

[Vard]

Trusting people ... these Indians ... believe everything that is written on the fence ...

[voyaka uh]

An unofficial version of the Russian side is voiced.
She is not very convincing, although there is a place to be.
Lockheed really wants to sell fighter's production line to India
F-16 (to transfer the plant from America). With all, all technologies.
But no matter how the F-16 upgrade, it will not become the 5th generation.
And with the F-35 is not so simple. They will not collect it on Indian soil -
no such plans. They will not receive technology.
The line at him is long. Even if the Indians are taken
into it - it will take many years to receive the first aircraft.
.

[Zaurbek]

And the price of F-35 will be the same for India as for the countries participating in the program.

Knock down an Israeli chicken at 35 and everything will normalize.
