India “rebuild” and “reconfigure” Russian T-50

The Indian version of the fifth-generation joint fighter will have less weight, will be more powerful and less noticeable for enemy radar, said the senior director of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, reports The Hindu Times 30 August.

As part of a joint project with Russia, the Indian version of FGFA will be “modified and reconfigured” to meet Indian requirements. "While the Russian version is all-metal, our version will have a wing and tail unit (keels and horizontal stabilizers) made of composite materials," said S. Subrahmanyan, managing director of the MiG complex at HAL. “The use of composites will reduce the weight of the aircraft and reduce radar visibility. Our version will also have more advanced Indian avionics. Thanks to these improvements, we will get a better and more powerful platform, ”he said at the MAKS-2013 air show. Subramanian led the Indian delegation at the exhibition.

FGFA is the largest and most ambitious Indian defense project and the largest joint military-technical cooperation program with Russia. Earlier this year, both sides completed the preliminary design of the FGFA and are now negotiating to create a detailed project. The contract can be signed before the end of this year.

Four Russian prototypes of the T-50 (or PAK FA) have completed more than 2010 test flights since January 200. The Russian Air Force intends to take the first vehicles into service in 2015. HAL Corporation intends to receive three redesigned T-50 prototypes in 2015, 2016 and 2017, the aircraft will enter service with the Indian Air Force in 2019, Subramanian said. The FGFA project will bring Indian expertise to aviation technology to a much higher level. “We have moved from licensed manufacturing and technology transfer to collaborative design and development,” he said. India supplies avionics for the Su-30 aircraft that Russia is building for Malaysia and Indonesia. “Collaborative development offers much greater opportunities for knowledge sharing than licensed production. With this organization of work, the parties have all the rights to intellectual property, ”he added.

Currently, India is working with Russia on the second project - the creation of a multi-purpose transport aircraft, which is already at the stage of detailed design. With the West, India had only one joint design experience - the Dhruv light helicopter was developed with the assistance of the German company MVV.

    Well, yes, we recall how they tried to "reconfigure" their aircraft carrier wassat and instead of asbestos they asked for brickwork ... "Reconfigurators" are still those, submarines probably also "reconfigured" and drowned.
    Our main thing is not to be carried out on provocations, what should be made and transferred under contracts, and then let them "reconfigure" at their own peril and risk, otherwise claims will follow: "We paid, but y ... we received ... our money "

If the ward is crazy, damn you yourself did not develop it, here you read the documentation and sites developed by the Indians for the service of office equipment and you are amazed at their fantasies, as if the deaf didn’t hear it, they thought it up, and this is an airplane.

    They won't die of modesty, their mother. "More advanced Indian avionics" - I got doubly hot from this phrase. On the one hand, we realized that we were buying electronics from India (at least for the Su-30, and sort of like the development of all kinds of BIUS and They also dealt with electronics for the T-50). On the other hand, that India openly declares its superiority in this area. And thirdly, did they seriously decide that they could make, for example, a radar station better than ours?
    And indeed, judging by what they said, the best plane will be with them, not ours. I don’t know whether to believe it or not, but that’s not the case.

      You believe these masters of art whistling more. For the Su-30, some of our development computers are assembled in India, well, such were their requirements initially, so that they could produce something. Well, when it came to buying a Su30 for the Russian Air Force (thank God, less than 20 years have passed), they simply did not begin to change cooperation because it’s not necessary. As for the T50, they don’t develop a nifig there, since they used to spit booty until the last moment and really fit into the program only when the first prototypes flew, and by that time there were already experienced radar stations and had already passed the tests.
      Well, as for the rest - these are the features of the mentality apparently. And T50 they have all-metal, and Indian avionics advanced and blah blah blah. In short, I hope ours will not go on about balabolok, otherwise they will turn this thing into Arjun with wings for about 30 years, but we don’t need it. We need FGFA to get into production with the T50, otherwise the economic effect of the larger series will be lost.

    As I understand it, the Indians, by and large, will leave only our engines, let's see the result after the restructuring of the aircraft, as they understand it, they want to get a platform and then improve it. I hardly believe in a more advanced Indian aircraft. The main thing is to finance the creation of ours and then the flag in hand for experimentation.

    How to improve stealth due to composite materials, the architecture of the aircraft for this must be changed by the glider itself, and this is already a task for the developer's design bureau, but it’s clear that they will do everything themselves. but they won’t succeed, because they don’t have a school of designing such a class of equipment.
    And if they do this and get kakash.a well-wishers around the world will ring that Russia does not know how to make airplanes. And there, prove that the Indians themselves wanted to change the performance characteristics.

        But the Russian media write differently:

        Prosecutors in the New York area of ​​Brooklyn on Wednesday indicted 11 suspects in the illegal export of military technology to Russia, for which they face up to 20 years in prison, American media report citing a statement from the Department of Justice.

        .....

        According to American investigators, through his company Arc Electronics, which he founded in Houston and his wife, Fishenko purchased dual-purpose electronics from American firms and delivered it to Russia, where it could be used for military purposes, in particular in radars, detonators, surveillance and guidance systems. The turnover of such electronics in the United States is legal, but its export requires a special license, which Arc Electronics did not have.


        Ibid:

        The lack of an element base in Russia for complex electronics is an open secret. At the presentation of the first Glonass civilian receivers in 2008, the director general of the Space Instrumentation Research Institute Yuri Korolev admitted: of all the details in the receiver, the Russian one had only an antenna - the rest was imported. “The Russian electronics industry does not produce the elements necessary for such devices,” he complained. “Our grandchildren will see this base at best, and even that is unlikely,” said the director of one of the companies working with Roscosmos. - Over 60% of electronic components in our satellites are foreign. ” According to him, the annual procurement of electronic component base for the industry is 10-12 billion rubles.
