Indian Defense Ministry issues assembly contract for Russian T-90MS tanks

Indian Ministry of Defense Signs Contract with Avadi Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) State Tank Manufacturing Plant 464 tanks T-90 in the interests of the Indian army. The tanks will be assembled from car kits supplied from Russia. It is reported by the Indian newspaper "The Times of India".

The Indian military department issued the company Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) a contract worth about 2,8 billion dollars for the manufacture of the Indian Army 464 T-90 tanks (T-90MS). The supply of tanks is expected to take at least four years. It is planned to equip ten regiments of the Indian army with tanks made under this contract.

The tanks will be assembled at the HVF Avadi plant from car kits that will be supplied by the Russian corporation Uralvagonzavod within the framework of the agreement signed in April this year to supply India 464 Russian T-90MS tanks with their assembly in Indian territory.

According to statements by the Indian military, the Indian Ministry of Defense decided to return to the assembly of tanks from Russian car kits due to the fact that the full-fledged licensed production of T-90C tanks in India is proceeding at a very slow pace. According to the bmpd blog, to date, the HVF plant has built no more than half of the T-90С MBT under the Russian-Indian license agreement 2006 of the year to produce T-1000С tanks in Avadi 90 by 2020. The Indians took 10 of the year to produce the first 3 licensed cars. They were transferred to the Indian Army in August 2009.

At the same time, the Indian company successfully assembled 409 T-90С tanks from vehicle sets delivered from Russia from UVZ (another 248 T-90С tanks were delivered to India with UVZ ready).

That is, so to speak, a purely screwdriver assembly only on the territory of India, nothing will be collected from this party from us?

We will collect tanks for the Russian Armed Forces

Interestingly, when selling licenses, the concept of state secret / military secret is taken into account?

Mandatory. This tank is different from what comes in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, on many issues ...

[carstorm 11]

this is MS. it was promoted for many years at various venues.

There is a word "marketing"

[cniza]

It would be strange if it were not taken into account, any product for export has restrictions and special marking.

[carstorm 11]

Not certainly in that way. MS appeared first. specially for export. and for a long time.

[Mountain shooter]

Well ... and so she rested, herself, herself They themselves disrupt everything that is possible, production time, quality ... But it’s all their fault ... What is happening is good for UVZ. And what is good for UVZ, good for Russia

[rocket757]

They don’t look for good from good ....
Somehow they don’t have their VPK sacred cow, which they will protect from everything ... when the result is required, and not the process itself!

[Chaldon48]

Why do people want to develop themselves over Indians and laugh, let them develop, for our military-industrial complex only profit from this.

Good morning.
And our Indian comrades have enough ambitions lately, given that recently they have learned to be cunning, and the winds of the State Department fly in from time to time. And as in that old Russian phrase: "the pepper is long, the shirt is short" ..

So after all, the hands are always busy, even a dress (a sari) was once sewed around and wound around itself, and more likely to be washed, cleaned, and cooked - that's why only my husband.

Thus, the contract proves the advantage of the Russian T-90 over any models, even of Indian design.

[Crash_117]

Based on your logic, does the F-35 prove its advantage in the form of numerous contracts over the SU-57?

[Tank jacket]

Based on your inverted logic, Amertkans are loved all over the world, because they have 250 foreign military bases

[Crash_117]

In extremes and from the topic do not depart. The fact that India buys t-90 in such quantities does not make it the best MBT. The equipment is acquired depending on the tasks assigned to it and the price. The same applies to the F-35.

[rhino]

It proves nothing. India may lack production capacities and personnel. And time is running out.

[Pessimist22]

Thanks to India for ordering military products and loading Uralvagonzavod and its allies with work.

Well, here, in my opinion, everything is clear! Do the Indians do sho hands? They are talking! With the help of mudra, the performer is able to depict not only various objects, but also any action, emotions and abstract concepts. This peculiar "sign language" has more than 500 symbols-concepts in its "dictionary". Depending on the alternations and their combinations, performed with one or two hands, and on the position of the hands themselves in relation to the body, the dancer can convey any content. Mudras are gestures in Indian dances .... such as the thumb of a ninja!

Where is already a sledgehammer or a file in your hands to take! Fingers or wise afterwards will not work! But the Russians, imagine, they work with their hands! The Russians didn’t seem to know the fingers ... that’s why they had to work hard ... either with a sledgehammer or something else ... After the sledgehammer, you won’t bend your fingers into a hard-put! Unless ... a cookie ... or, better, a fist can be shown! But the bench tool fits well in the hand ... Well, the people ... as I could, I tried to explain to you the objective reasons for this:The Ministry of Defense of India decided to return to the assembly of tanks from Russian car kits due to the fact that the full-fledged licensed production of T-90C tanks in India is proceeding at a very slow pace. According to the bmpd blog, to date, the HVF plant has built no more than half of the T-90С MBT under the Russian-Indian license agreement 2006 of the year to produce T-1000С tanks in Avadi 90 by 2020.

Indian gestures

Russian gestures.

[Zhan]

. Well, people ... as I could, I tried to explain to you the objective reasons

Very lucidly explained ...

[il-z]

In general, with the Russian version of the fig, it is advisable to be careful especially in the presence of the Japanese). In Japan, this gesture was used / used by women with reduced social responsibility for a particularly intimate offer (without any subtext, just for information).

[Nikolaevich I]

The Russian version is Russian! The Japanese version is Japanese! “The West is the West, and the East is the East ... and they cannot come together!” - as old Kipling used to say! In some republic of the former Yugoslavia it is indecent to ask for matches ... and such examples around the world can be typed "to the fig"! So what's now? "Throw out words from songs ..."? Hundreds of years old? They won't wait!

Do the Indians do sho hands?

In the summer they saw a tank biathlon.

In the competition from India, two Russian-designed T-90S Bhishma tanks took part and indian assembly and three crews, a total of 21 people. In the midst of a race to reach the finals both armored vehicles - the main and spare, out of order. As a result, the Indians were removed from the competition.

[nikon7717]

To deliver the car kit as for UAZ assembly in 5-7 minutes, the videos are on YouTube, and then the Indians will not make a mistake when assembling

[Zaurbek]

For UVZ, this is a good contract, and there, you see, the T90S will want to upgrade to SM.

[CommanderDIVA]

I wonder how the finished tanks and vehicle kits are delivered to India from Russia.

[Zaurbek]

By the sea ... how else?

[Ros 56]

It’s interesting, but our specialists supervise this process, and even with dances and spare parts they will lose.

[TermNachTer]

Shit, but where is our favorite "white elephant" - "Arjun", which, according to the Indians, is the best in the world. I am tormented by vague doubts that after suffering for another 5 - 7 years with their "Tejas", the Indians will still buy either Su - 30, or something newer.

[Zaurbek]

Tejas will be cut further. We have nothing to offer in this weight.

[TermNachTer]

And MiG - 35 in what weight category? If there is no such weight category, then maybe it is not necessary?

[Zaurbek]

It is larger and more expensive .... there are competitors Grippen and F16 ... and the American UB plane

[TermNachTer]

More expensive than a Merkansk airplane - I strongly doubt it. Unless the mattress covers are "vparyat" used Indians from storage bases. Influenza is also not much cheaper, and you need to think a hundred times to contact this "crazy hands" constructor.

[Wolf]

Congratulations to the UVZ team with such a contract! Few manufacturers in the world of such machines receive such orders. This is good for the country and for the workers, as far as where they wrote here that Russia is a gas station? Something is not visible to them recently?

[Durman_54]

Well, yes, 464. For 4 years.
And now you get 10 new tanks and 20 upgraded ones. And my grandmother said in two whether there would be a state order for the next batch.

[Potato]

For India, 500 t90. For Russia, t72b3 and t80 from storage.

[rotfuks]

In this regard, I recall the times of the USSR and the ZIL-130 truck assembled in the Republic of Georgia under the Colchis brand from ZIL plant car kits. In the Colchis truck there was a motor from ZIL, a box and a frame from ZIL, actually from Colchis there was only a rear axle and a cab. But none of the drivers wanted to work for Colchis and the car depots paid decent money to certain companies for the reincarnation of Colchis again in ZIL-130. There is a similar example in Europe. A DAF truck is assembled in Belgium from Volvo car kits, but European truckers shy away from a DAF which still does not achieve Volvo quality and therefore DAF is bought mainly by developing countries. I mean that the T-90 of the Indian assembly will remain Colchis.

[vodolaz]

The main thing then do not let them whine later that their tanks are breaking down, like at a tank biathlon in 2017. And then they themselves assembled, exploited themselves, and then squealed that the tanks were bad. Moreover, they have the same situation with the production of their tank as with the aircraft to replace the MiG-21, which they have not been able to do for 20 years.

[Berkut24]

Actually, this is the Indians' verdict about the Arjuns. Which will never be the first. There is a huge gap between the two tank schools.
