    India plans to soon begin exporting spare parts and accessories for Russian aircraft engines AL-31FP and RD-33.
    and what is the benefit to Russia? Give the Indians markets? .. Why? Then - what is the quality of Indian engines and spare parts for them? Are you not afraid of losing your reputation?

      Indeed, where is just meaning and where is common sense?
      Will the Chinese be sold spare parts, and they will research it for the operation of their "copier"?
      And who benefits from this ?!

        SPTA SPTA discord. Bolts, nuts, cotter pins, clamps ... - also spare parts. I do not think that they will produce turbines and compressors.

      There is a benefit for Russia, the risks are great if it is really made in India. BUT! The problem "made in Russia" remains in a very low level of service. With rare exceptions, everything is extremely bad. Indians, on the other hand, are very strong entrepreneurs, with close ties and great opportunities. Almost as nosy as the Chinese))

      Judging by the article, spare parts will be produced in Russia, but the Indians will be distributors. It’s bad that we can’t do it ourselves, but better than losing markets due to poor service.

        so we lose them in the case of cooperation with the Indians.

        Probably, the problem should be solved not in such an extravagant way, but in a more reasonable way - by selecting the appropriate personnel and reorganizing the service departments

          That the problem needs to be solved, I am in favor with both hands. The fact that there is NO service at the moment, but something needs to be done is a fact.

          It’s like with a crane in the sky and a tit in his hand. You can rely on the crane and do something, but the titmouse can be completely lost and left empty-handed.

      It all depends on what and WHO is meant by the wording "Russia" ..
      I am sure that those who sign such agreements do not remain without profit ..

      If the Indians will produce different rubber gaskets and seals, instead of complex units, then a ride.

      What are the indian details lol
      Almost everything is made from our spare parts, but only assembled in India. They called it made in India. So they assemble the T-90S, along with the Su 30MKI.

          That's it, the components. Russia did not sell licenses to anyone, but did not sell production, or even sell modern turbofan engines. The main, technologically sophisticated components are produced in us, in India, only a trifle, which is not secret know-how. This is precisely what they were allowed to sell, which will definitely improve after-sales service, we have problems with this. This can bring new contracts.

    I am sure that a fair share of the profits will be transferred to Russia. organizations as royalties. This decision can be both positive (Russian factories cannot cope with increased orders, switch to the production of more modern models, etc.), and negative reasons such as unprofitable production due to an increase in overhead costs (prices for heat and electricity, lack of qualified technologists and workers, etc.). I hope that such steps are thoroughly considered and all the pros and cons are weighed a hundred times.

    There is also such a moment - to more firmly link the Indians to our aircraft industry through an increase in the production of HAL engines and spare parts for Sushki and MiGs. Binding through cooperation is now a very common practice.
