India will buy military seaplanes from Japan

If nothing unexpected happens, India will become the first country to buy military planes in Japan after World War II, according to Military Parity.

In early September, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay a business visit to Japan. It is expected that during the meetings with the leadership of the island state, a contract will be signed for the purchase of 6 seaplanes US-2, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of nuclear energy will be discussed. It is assumed that countries will dramatically increase their defense ties.

Seaplanes will be included in the Indian Navy and Coast Guard. Including they will be used to control the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

According to the publication, “the amphibious US-2 with take-off weight 47 t (payload 18 t) does not require a long land runway and is capable of landing and taking off from the water. The flight range of 4500 km, with a landing in the amount of 30 armed infantrymen, a seaplane can land at a height of a wave of 10 feet. ”

In addition, India seeks to create joint production of components and components. Having recently received relief in the field of military exports, Japan is likely to be able to pass the license transfer procedure.

like Japanese quality?

Indians buy these aircraft in the hope of acquiring reliable equipment.

Rather, it is "throwing political bream" in the hope of bargaining for some more weighty and favorable things. Perhaps technology or political issues ... Time will tell what the Indians are up to.

[Mountain shooter]

The Japanese have always been good at building seaplanes. Ever since WWII. And maybe it seems to me, but the cockpit of this plane is a bit "samurai"

[armageddon]

Well, seaplanes in Japan should be at the level ... Well ... India knows better !!!

[nfoma80]

Our seaplanes are better, but India is offended by us, firstly because of China, and secondly because of constant traffic with the supply of our equipment.

[My doctor]

India is the only country in the region that has no complaints about Japan’s actions during WWII, as it is believed that Japan helped them gain independence then.
and more

Nada pesat "ray", tady wakes everything right .
Honestly, laughter through tears, population literacy just rolls over.

[Oprychnyk]

If Europe does not want to depend heavily on our energy resources, then why not assume that India does not want to completely depend on the supply of only our equipment? Reasonable.

If only kamikaze were not loaded into it ...

The club of countries exporting weapons along the way.

[mig31]

India is surrounded by the ocean so it’s what it’s for, and from whom it’s buying it is its right, probably we can’t offer something like this for today ...

[saag]

probably we can’t offer something like that today ...

Be-12 for example, Be-200

[mig31]

Yes, I know, I also know the current pilots of the "two hundred" aircraft, but I do not see the dynamics of the production and modification of seaplanes that are so necessary in all areas ...

[jaguar]

Unfortunately, the Be-12 is morally outdated, and the Be-200 is surprisingly still being released as a civilian version. We had a wonderful seaplane A-40 without false modesty, I will say that he does not even expect analogues in the world, but alas with our reformers

[Neighbor]

Aircraft yes, but why do they need Fukushima, made, moreover, on the Amerov projects?

[typhoon7]

Still, it’s sad when this direction in the aircraft industry developed very well with us.

[Andrey Skokovsky]

Is our Be-200 worse?

[enot73]

Quote: Andrey Skokovsky

Is our Be-200 worse?

No worse, but this is a civilian aircraft, without the necessary equipment for the military. It is strange that this excellent machine is still not in demand by the Russian Navy and has no military modifications.

[starhina01]

Our campaign was organized in this direction, and it’s a pity our Be-200 is a worthy candidate in this market.

... whatever you do, but the melting is cooler than the frets:

Such a comparison in the military sphere is very inappropriate, and even quite funny ...

Japan, like India, has constant "situations" with China.
And what about the ancients had "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
India is well aware of this.

[Klim2011]

The situation is understandable, but I do not think that this will be the only sale of weapons by Japan, rather this is the beginning of a long way

heh .. you Indians rely on our doorposts? India has such a policy — if they are satisfied with the conditions; price, quality, terms + bonuses — they will buy products from Amers and from us .. nothing personal — only business .. and if it’s possible to buy a production license with a guarantee and construction even cheaply factory for this production, generally bingo! .. they are traders with a thousand-year history, the benefit is first and foremost. then friendship ..

And also IMHO even in India "kickbacks" are practiced

[Saburo]

And here is his grandfather, Kawanishi H8K. The Japanese, as usual, honor traditions in everything.

[samoletil18]

And there is a corresponding design bureau, and a factory in Taganrog ... But there is nothing to offer.

[Vadim12]

Cool airplane! In our World War II, ICBMs, MDRs were used ...

[Barakuda]

In there was a plane, even Romania managed to bomb the World War II. ANT-44.

[enot73]

But they flew into the war more on the Catalines and their licensed analogues of the GTS

[bmv04636]

As I understand it, without a tender, I once bought the Mistrals as a syurdyuk. Only the Indians are smarter with the benefit of business insure against China.

Tell me another A-40! These machines, or their re-acclaimed followers, are lacking in Russia itself, with its vast expanses and the absence of airfields! Are you talking about some sales in India, or to someone else! It is necessary to take care first of all about YOUR safety, and then about the safety of others! Here is my opinion.

[vodolaz]

It’s a pity that it’s not a Be-200, but the Indians seem to have decided not to put all their eggs in one basket.

[IAlex]

And then they make such surprised eyes - why does the Russian Federation supply equipment to Pakestan ...

right, right. It is necessary for them to set conditions you don’t buy, Pakistan will buy ...
