State defense order updated in India: Defense Ministry may lease military equipment

28

In India, introduced an updated system of state defense order. Minister of Defense Rajnat Singh declares that the new version of the document spells out the possibility of leasing military equipment for the needs of the country's armed forces.

From a message from the Indian military department:

The leasing clause was introduced as a new category of defense order. It does not contradict the development of the “Do it in India” concept and allows you to lease any military equipment from friendly countries - up to tanks, warships and aircraft.

For reference: Leasing is the actual lease with payment on credit obligations and the right to buy out.

Thus, the Ministry of Defense of India is ready to conclude lease contracts for the supply of military equipment with payment of loan agreements and the possibility of redemption.

Minister of Defense of India:

It gives me great pleasure to announce that this draft defense order has passed approval. In the new draft military procurement procedure, we simplified the process and shortened the time to ensure the honesty, transparency and accountability of each of the transactions.

The country's defense department recalled that India had previously used the possibility of renting military equipment. In 2012, India rented a submarine from Russia, which in the Indian navy received the name "Chakra". According to representatives of the Indian Navy, this is an example of a successful arms lease from partner countries.

    How can I give (also to a warring country) military equipment for rent? Maybe I don’t understand something.

      It is not possible to rent, but leasing is possible, which is essentially a form of loan. Honey, by the way, is cheaper than a car loan

        For land lease, paid in full. And the situation was completely different. The same ones are positioning themselves as almost the second economy of the world, but they are scammed up like the last little merchants ..

    Indians should not be allowed to lease or lease anything. Or was the lesson with "Chakra" not enough?

      After the perestroika began, some organizations tried to lease special equipment bulldozers, cranes. What did this lead to? The tenant very meticulously inspected the rented equipment and took as a rule what is newer, and when it came time to return, they returned it in such a way that it was scary to look at and shrugged, the equipment was used in difficult conditions. But it’s interesting how the tank will look, even if it hasn’t been on the battlefield?

        Suppose routine maintenance and the type of equipment returned can be prescribed in the contract. But here there are a lot of nuances ... And if this tank still got on the battlefield, and not just hit, but stayed there ... What then did the Indians buy it? And if so, when and how do they plan to pay for it? But these are still flowers ... And now let’s imagine that an anti-aircraft complex was leased in which each missile is not cheap and missiles were shot during the rental but some didn’t hit the target, as a result the planes reached some proximity to the complex and hit it, destroying or seriously damaged the complex, and now attention to the issue of missiles that didn’t hit the target is how to recognize: manufacturer’s diff or norm that some missiles didn’t hit or pilot skill, and from here the most important question is whether the Indians will fully pay for the cost of the air defense system or let's say that it was an assembly rockets? Anyway, I can’t compose such scenarios without being distracted ... I won’t re-read them. And so for almost every type of weapon.

          In general, in fact, leasing is a purchase of equipment

              in fact - a ransom.
              What will remain after the battles - return or redemption.

                In fact, then the contract of sale. And so leasing.

              delivered materials (cars, various military equipment, weapons, raw materials, other items) destroyed, lost and used during the war are not subject to payment (Article 5) [3];
              property transferred under Lend-Lease property remaining after the end of the war and suitable for civilian purposes will be paid in full or in part on the basis of long-term loans provided by the United States (mainly interest-free loans);
              in case of interest of the American side, non-destroyed and not lost machinery and equipment should be returned after the war in the USA [3].

                Such a land lease would be too smart a gift not only to the Hindus, but even to our allies - Syria. Although the property can still be squandered by state property.

          Leasing implies that the landlord fully incurs the expenditure. And air defense missiles are an expendable part. That is, we can lease the air defense complex, and missiles to it only for money

            Well yes. Only this is not absurd, but it will be so. You bite your sandwich and pay for it. And if your boutique is rotten during a meal, then you pay all the residual value and interest. You see. We are engaged in leasing large banks. They are not worried about the state of technology. They are only interested in profit.

    Well, they are de facto, reinforced de jure.
    They actually took our atomicar on lease and want to take the second, but now they will expand this experience with other equipment
