“Russia fulfills orders at an accelerated pace”: US press on the supply of Russian weapons

July 1 2020 66

The Russian defense industry is able to fulfill the orders of its foreign policy partners at an accelerated pace, which gives it a significant advantage in the field of military-technical cooperation.

According to Military Watch (USA), Moscow, against the background of an aggravation of the border conflict with China, has already committed to delivering New Delhi to the S-400 air defense system as soon as possible. In a similar, “emergency” mode, it is able to provide the Indian military with 33 MiG-29UPG and Su-30MKI fighters. According to the publication, these machines can be transferred before the end of this year.

According to him, the Kremlin, working on a tight schedule, compares favorably with Paris. 36 Rafale aircraft cannot reach the customer for a long time.

France was extremely slow in supplying aircraft. Four years after signing the first contract, India has not yet deployed a single operational squadron

- indicates the media, noting that the reason for this delay is "the small scale of production and the general inefficiency of the French defense sector, especially in comparison with Russia or the United States."

And this despite the fact that the military-industrial complex of France clearly "lifts up" the price tag. So, Rafale costs $ 240 million, while the American F-35A is 50% cheaper, and the Russian heavy-weight Su-30MKIs are offered at a cost several times lower.

This will probably undermine further purchases by Rafale, and India will instead seek to produce Russian MiG-35s of the 4 ++ generation in the same weight category and with comparable production licensing, but with much faster deliveries and at a much lower price

- concludes Military Watch.

  The French as a whole have very expensive toys - they initially relied on the monarchs of the Persian Gulf, but the Indians need to think with their heads - they have problems with neighbors on different sides and is it worth it to overpay fabulous money? Another question is, should we go too far arming the Indians and straining Xi Jinping? However, it is necessary in any case to observe their interests - the same Chinese do not particularly suffer from allied obligations!

    It’s worth it - it’s a balancer, a counterweight to China in Asia. And of course, this is beneficial to our defense industry.
    However, no one forbids China to buy weapons from us as opposed to India. They also started talking about the purchase of another batch of Su-35.

        Yes, nothing has changed and will not change. As we sold weapons to India, we will continue to sell - this is our main buyer. And a considerable trading partner.
        Failure, and refusal right now, will be a direct betrayal and the greatest stupidity.
        India is clearly weaker than China. Especially China and Pakistan combined. So in this case, our moral qualities charge us not to leave without the help of the weakest.
        Now about China.
        Do you seriously consider this state to be our ally ?!
        Seriously ?
        What China has proved to us over the past 6-7 years.
        And for the whole history of our relationship?
        How many times has he betrayed us?
        And do not count!
        And in China, we are definitely not considered an ally.
        Read their periodicals, their textbooks, their documents.
        This is our trading partner ... But Germany is our good trading partner ... And Italy ... And Turkey ... And India.
        We have no moral restrictions.
        Especially in relation to China.
        Russia could help resolve this conflict if it really escalates ... But so far we see only funny Indian movies and "Kshatriyas" beaten with iron sticks. And more and more daring Chinians.
        We collect popcorn, watch the TV series "Somewhere high in the Himalayas" and ... sell weapons, because this is just a business.

    The MiG-35 was created exactly as an export fighter - in the VKS they are not in a hurry to receive it. And there is nothing particularly secret and fundamentally new there. But India needs fighters of precisely this class - to replace the MiG-21. And they like them.
    In addition, a contract is being prepared for the modernization of the entire fleet of Indian Su-30s to the level of Su-35 (engines, radar, avionics) and, possibly, the purchase of a certain batch of Su-35 itself.

        But is the SU-35 in abundance in its VKS ?! Is it wise to rush into the sale of the most modern fighter ?!
        
        Apparently the leadership of the Moscow Region and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief consider that enough. However, the second order for 48 Su-35s was still signed, but at the same time more than 10 units. they are not purchased per year.
        In addition, KB them. Sukhoi created her Su-35 precisely as an export aircraft (and how else, if she does not indulge her MO with orders) and it has already been delivered to China, Algeria (if I am not mistaken), delivery to Egypt has begun, and several more customers are in line.
        So why is India worse?
        What the MoD and the president are thinking about are not known to me, but I suspect that the fighter aircraft fleet has already been significantly updated, so the purchase of new aircraft is extremely limited. Nobody is apparently going to form new regiments, and there are no pilots for them ... And young guys are not in a hurry to go to flight schools - which has been accepted by ALL for a year, for whom health allows.
        And what were the competitions before in military aviation universities ...
        
        Quote: Vl Nemchinov
        Moreover, the SU-57 (!) ?! . America does not sell F-22
        
        Su-57 was originally developed in conjunction with India (with its co-financing), has already been offered to China, Algeria, Turkey (!!!) and everyone else.
        America does not sell its F-22s, but it does sell the latest F-35.
        To many.
        And the French are selling their Rafale.
        The more fighters we sell for export, the more of the same (but not exported) fighters our MO can buy (at the expense of income from the export arms tax).

Now my answer to you is why I consider the S-400 to be an attack weapon ... if the system is able to cover and paralyze the enemy rear lines by several hundred km - then for me this is already a sign of the specialization of the system with a sharpened attack-defense. I personally would not like it if my friendly neighbor gave my opponent a bat during a friendly slap on the face - the neighbor would definitely come up.

As if India and China did not bleed.
We suggested that the Indians create a layered defense of air defense (expensive of course), but it’s reliable .. Russia is a guarantor of the security of any country, if we cooperate honestly and openly with us ..

Obviously unfriendly step towards China - if this is not fake news.

According to Military Watch (USA), Moscow, amid a worsening border conflict with China, has already committed itself to delivering New Delhi to the S-400 air defense system as soon as possible. In a similar, “emergency” mode, it is able to provide the Indian military with 33 MiG-29UPG and Su-30MKI fighters.

Yes, yes - and then the same officials will tell tales about "strategic partnership with China".
