Bollywood continues. India offers to buy for assembly 40 Su-30 instead of expensive Rafale

In India, they paid attention to the relatively low rate of the ruble, which makes Russian military products extremely attractive to Indian customers. In particular, we are talking about fighters, which in the amount of several dozen plans to contract the Indian Air Force in the near future. Edition The defense world It comes out with a material stating that Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) proposes to conclude a contract for the construction of 40 Su-30MKI planes, which (contract) in modern macroeconomic conditions for the Indian Air Force will cost significantly less than a similar contract for the acquisition of French Rafale.

Head HAL Suvarna Raju:
We propose to pay attention to the contract for Su-30MKI, which today are estimated at about 4,25 billion rupees, while the Indian Air Force is going to pay 11,25 billion rupees for the French Rafale, moreover, without taking into account the prices for weapons and logistics. For those 170 billion rupees, which are ready to pay to the Air Force of the country, you can purchase an additional 40 Su-30. We could purchase planes prepared for the final assembly from Russia, after which we could complete the assembly at our plant in Nashik (city in India). The main goal - to collect these aircraft quickly and cheaply.

Raju notes that it is Russian Su-30 that can be used for strikes with the help of BrahMos cruise missiles of air-based (ALCM). According to him, the acquisition of the Su-30 for the BrahMos missiles will also be more profitable than the repair and modernization (under the BrahMos) of "old" airplanes that are in service with the Indian Air Force.

In the publication, citing sources in the Indian government say that the proposal of the HAL Indian Cabinet interested.

        Why watch this? The rate is low, so fighters can buy it at a very ridiculous price. I’m sure that the contract will be signed very quickly, without much bidding and discussion. Moreover, I suspect that not only Indians will want to get on this sale.

          And what does the ruble exchange rate and the price of a fighter have to do with it? There are contract prices for military-industrial complex products and no one will reduce them. One question is if our products will be finally assembled in India or have a certain option.

            And the price of a fighter depends on what? From your desire or from what price in RUBLES it will be contracted at this very moment? Then, after the conclusion of the contract, the ruble may be 30 rubles per dollar, but fighters will build and transfer to the Indians at the price at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
            Today, the Indians have a kind of sale with not frail discounts.

    This is good news, if only they had their minds and actually signed a contract. One thing is not clear how Rafali can be more attractive than the SU-30 even if all other problems are discarded.

      They want technology. In Rafale, interest was shown in avionics (electronics) and engines. It was clear from the outset that everything had to be laid out in full. Weapons need NATO on him, Russian missiles and ammunition for the AP are not suitable. Even AB is hard to adapt. Well, personnel for maintenance and flight personnel. One pilot under 10 million. training costs.
      And here ... They’re not going anywhere from Russian aircraft. The assembly of the Bramos anti-ship missile and the Su-30 carrier is there, the flight crew and service are also ... And it seems to me that the MiG-35 will soon be in the skies of India - you only take at least a regiment into service. And the reason is the same ... There is of course the F-16, under which the states are ready to place production. But then again the question arises in the ammunition and weapons for him, personnel. I noticed that when everything is included in the contract (west. Machines) (BC and personnel), then the cost increases three times from the cost of the machine itself. There is a reason for scratching the Hindus' turnips ... The MiG-29 was mastered and available by the Indians, so there is nothing cheaper for them than the MiG-35 ... Yes, and surely they put their MiG-29 against the F-16 in numerous exercises with NATO. If everything else that the MiG claims has been done on the MiG-35 (increased resources, modern avionics, modern engine), then ... it would be faster to finish it, how much can you wait. hi

    And these are not isolated cases, but a tradition.

    “We could purchase aircraft ready for final assembly from Russia, and then complete the assembly at our facility in Nashik (a city in India,
    - approx. "IN"). The main goal is to assemble these aircraft quickly and cheaply.

    and then, like with a submarine, where the Indians tried to smell their batteries

    the Hindu does not understand that those who made a deal with the French in the Indian mo will receive
    (or) sickly kickbacks, the French almost always give bribes to Aboriginal officials where they are trying to push their products

    But isn’t it time for us to strike at ours, William Shakespeare. And send these rajas to their elephants and vimanas. What, we became their poor relatives, at half price to sell the most modern dryers?

    Here, Chinas, gathered tracing paper from a woodpecker to roll:
    "Beijing, May 2 / Xinhua / - Chinese engineers are developing a new aircraft, which is based on the structure of the skull of a woodpecker, which will reduce the effects of impact. This was reported on the website of the Chinese Research Institute of Missile Technology.
    When a woodpecker knocks a beak on a tree, its skull is subjected to severe impact, which, however, does not cause a concussion in the bird.
    The woodpecker's brain is protected by a very dense, strong skull with many holes, explained the technical project manager for the development of the new aircraft, Yin Jin.
    And the Indians need to paint SUSHKI under the peacock. They will buy it faster.

    How to tell you. Judging by the long experience of cooperation with India, it will not work out quickly, either on the first copies. Provided that the supervision will be over Russia. Over time, speed and quality will increase.

    The course is low, so you can buy fighters at a very ridiculous price.

    And what does the ruble exchange rate and the price of a fighter have to do with it? There are contract prices for military-industrial complex products and no one will reduce them. One question is if our products will be finally assembled in India or have a certain option.
    Myanmar 6 SU 30 SME cost 300 million bucks, 50 lyam per unit. . hi

    Myanmar, our fighters cost in barter on rubber and some other garbage (

    There was something wrong here. Last year and last year, the ruble exchange rate was even lower. However, there was no such sanction pressure. A private opinion may be voiced. We like to give someone’s private opinion as the state’s position.
