    Well done, they buy not only equipment but also technology. Apparently going to arm new ships.

      No, the Ka-226 is generally useless for ships, it has a different purpose.

        They were looking for a small modular helicopter to work in desert and mountainous areas. It was to become the basis of the service of rescue and evacuation of the army. only in my opinion they already decided to buy it, and now they think again. (

    The tortuosity of the thoughts of our Indian partners is known to us. Today they review, tomorrow they revise ... The helicopter is - cool! Heir to the K-26, proven over many years of operation. The static ceiling is already very good, for mountains - that’s it, but this goodness in India is enough.
    I will be glad if our helicopter wins the tender. We are not a gas station!

    "News" has already managed to grow moss. Yes, by the way, if the Indians themselves produce the Ka-226, then this will boomerangly hit the volume of markets for these, frankly, not bad helicopters in the Russian Federation.

      Vryatli will hit. We will have different requirements for helicopters, but the inuses want to release them for themselves, and while they learn how to assemble them, if necessary, we slap ourselves as much as necessary. )))

        How much is needed? Interest Ask. For some reason, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation is "rushing around" - it either wants to order a certain amount, or refuses ... And the FSB only plans to order 10 pieces for border guards. A total of 1997 pieces have been produced since 69. This is 5-6 pieces per year on average, but really only one in 2013, in general 2014. The maximum productivity of the plant in Kumertau is 0 Ka-20T machines per year (this is claimed, but IMHO 226-15 pieces).
        Hindus also want to build a powerful plant with access to the annual production of 400 helicopters!

    I don’t know how much profit we can get from the sale of helicopters, but I would very much like cooperation with India in the pharmaceutical industry to be restored.

      Quote: Old26
      Profitable to buy (or offered the best conditions)

      According to Rotorhub, in three months, starting July 1, 2015, operators and leasing companies ordered 93 civilian helicopters. In essence, today they buy “one helicopter a day”! Among the manufacturers, as it should be, the leader in the world helicopter industry Airbus Helicopters is ahead - 55 orders (or almost 60%). In second place - AgustaWestland 35 orders (37,5%). It turns out that European helicopter manufacturers have captured the civilian helicopter market (97,5%)!

      Buyers' preferences were distributed as follows: single-engine light helicopters almost 30%, two-engine light / medium / medium + 68%.

      Russian contribution: received 3 orders for Ka-32A11BC, ordered 10 AW189 (Rosneft).

      It is interesting that in a number of orders (rigidly) the types of helicopters are not defined, the so-called “flexible” orders, when the specification of the volumes of one or another type will be as it is executed. This approach opens up additional opportunities for buyers. Today, helicopter builders are constantly looking for new forms and methods to best meet the needs of their customers.

      They need a lightweight and hardy helicopter with a modular bay and Turbomekhi which they themselves produce. So they chose Ka-226.

        The turbo-furry that they themselves produce

        Interesting information. Where is she from? Where is it produced?
        HAL factories in Bangalore produce Adour MK 871, Adour MK 804 E, Garrett TPE 331-5, RD-33, AL-31 FP, Shakti, Artouste III B, PTAE-7, LM 2500, Dart 533 - 2, Dart 536 - 2T, Orpheus 70105, AvonMK 1, AvonMK 109, AvonMK 203/207, Gnome 1400 - IT.
        About the production in India, the Arrius 2G1 Turbomeca has not been heard.

    We should already forget about the time when India bought weapons exclusively from us. They are now trying to diversify suppliers so as not to be tied to one country. It is profitable to buy (or offered the best conditions) - they buy from us, someone suggested the best conditions - from them. Now they are buying helicopters not only from us, but also in the USA, SAMs not only from us, but also in Israel, fighters not only from us, but also from the French ...

    My grandmother said for two, the Indians are muddy guys, they will think, and then refuse, they don’t need a helicopter, but as technology has rightly pointed out, lately we are ready to sell ALL Russia, I wonder what in return? Fantasies that ultimately end up in US securities

    On the one hand, the assembly in India is good, the Hindus will not soon learn how to assemble well in their factories. Their national helicopter, the Hindus have not learned how to assemble correctly. Therefore, they will buy car kits from us. A big plus is that, with large-scale production, ours will finally make a domestic helicopter engine.

    In the same, when the bulk was still bought from us. The same deliveries of aircraft, when the MIG aircraft were overwhelming, if the tanks were ours, then the helicopters too. Maybe I really put it a little clumsily, but now diversification is more relevant than before. Now India does not focus only on Russia, compared to 70-80, when the percentage of Soviet equipment was very high

Well, yes, it’s a good start - it’s not really happy, you’ll look at your interest and want to know in more detail about the types of aircraft in particular and about the number, about submarines, well, except for course nuclear leases - here really the USSR / Russia had an exclusive and even has their own they didn’t bring to mind. And there you can already compare

    Interestingly, will we develop our own engines for the Russian market or will we exchange them for car kits and install Indian Turbomeks? This is not an idle question; with engine building, everything is not rosy with us.

      There is information that in addition to the American and French, the AI-226 ZMKB Progress ZMKB named after A.I. A.G. Ivchenko and domestic VK-450 of Klimov OJSC.
      Allison 250-C20R / 2 - 589 x 528 x 986 mm, 78 kg, 380-450 hp;
      Arrius 2G1 - 641 x 482 x 973 mm, 113,8 kg, 426-518 hp;
      AI-450 - 635 x 554 x 965 mm, 115 kg, 300-465 hp;
      VK-800 - 580 x 590 x 1000 mm, 140 kg, 450-800 hp
      The VK-800 is a bit heavier, as it is more powerful, but its size is not much different.
      And on the website of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Ka-226 is indeed listed with American engines, and for some reason the same on the Mi-8PPA. And ANSAT-U also has American Pratt Whitney PK206C.
      Why all the same Klimov Can't arrange production of VK-800 in any way? Sadly, right down to green.

    The organization of tenders in India, as the practice of recent years has shown, takes the Indians a period of at least one year, at best. A tender for a Ka-226 helicopter has not yet been announced.

    That’s why I think, Dear colleagues, our country will have time to provide for itself and everyone else who wants until the time the Indians “mature”. hi

    This interest has been around for 30 years, no less. If there is a desire, I will find (somewhere at home Interavia magazine for 1981 listing all the air forces of the world), then, EMNIP somewhere lies photocopies of "Jains" for 81-82 years (fleet- Fighting Ships, aviation, armed forces- Weapon system), the German "Flothen tashenbukh" (sorry, how to spell in German - I do not remember) ...
