Russia and India returned to the dialogue on the development of the newest fighter

80
Moscow and New Delhi have resumed the negotiation process as part of the joint development of the 5 fighter generation (FGFA), reports RIA News message "The Times of India".



“A high-ranking Russian delegation arrived in Delhi to negotiate,” the newspaper reported on Thursday. “The Russian delegation is here, and price negotiations began yesterday.”

"Russia made a new proposal from India for the supply of T-50 fighter jets as part of a joint program to develop fifth-generation fighter jets," the newspaper writes. “India will pay 3,7 a billion dollars instead of 6 billion for technological development and three prototypes of the T-50 fighter.”

Last July, the Minister of Defense of India, Parrikar, said that the Indian side had invested $ 2130 million in the aircraft development program. The preliminary stage of the project, he said, “was completed in June of the 2013 year, and the next stage of development will begin design work.

The publication reminds that "according to the draft contract for the ROC, the delivery of fifth-generation fighter jets to the Indian Air Force should begin in 94 a month after the document is signed."

        This is still a slightly different plane, not the T-50. Engines and other high-tech components and armament of the aircraft will still be Russian. Electronics, the assembly is most likely Indian. 3,7 billion for assembly technology and 3 experimental aircraft for the development of its T-50 is a good amount.
        As I remember now about the ISS. "They (west) spent 12 billion on an orbital station, but they didn't even make a wooden model. We would have been given 10% of this amount, we would have sent the finished station into orbit" - something like that.
        Well, they will receive this assembly technology, etc., but what will they do without components from the Russian Federation !? So, in my opinion, the "hook" can be so hooked that "will not break" - with a competent approach, you get a gold mine. hi

        Andrei, it’s not that she turned demonstratively. But ... India took very good advantage of the situation in Russia in the 90s. When, for the survival of the military-industrial complex, modern military equipment was sold to them very cheaply. Apparently, the Indians lost the sense of time, decided that nothing had changed.
        As for technology ... the question is, will they be able to repeat these technologies? After all, even with licensed production, they have problems.
        Yes, and with the operation too
        Defense News writes that independent auditors of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) agency presented a report to the Indian Parliament on December 18 stating that Russian Su-30MKI fighters, which are armed with the Indian Air Force, suffer from technical malfunctions and are not in a state of alert more than 55-60% of cars with a minimum rate of 75%.

        The operational readiness of the Su – 30MKI is low due to a large number of malfunctioning aircraft, low level of service and low raid. Of the 210 fighters in service with the Indian Air Force, 115–126 aircraft are currently in non-flying condition, according to auditors.

            An example not relevant to the topic of this article. In the late 80s, there was a man-made "crisis" of detergents (soap, detergent powder) in the USSR. Under the guise of washing powder, our valiant "brothers" - the Hindus, supplied this, sometimes outright falsification, such as a mixture of chalk and something.
            Yes, then import orders helped our defense industry survive. But ... not only India, China bought. eg. ... times have changed. And the Indians are trying to lead by analogy to the 90s.

    To begin with, at least they brought the T-50 to mind, and then from the second half of the 15th year there was complete silence. But joint development with India is the most optimal option for me, in this situation it’s quite dangerous to pull a project of tens of billions of yeah alone, the second option is to negotiate with China, but joking with the Chinese is more expensive - stamping 500 pieces for yourself and even sales markets overflow.

    The T-50 is critical to Russia's defenses.

    After a dozen years, the 4th generation will begin to leave - forever.
    As now they don’t fly on the once-first-class MiG-21 or F-4, so
    soon no one will fly on a Su-30 or F-15.

    And in the current difficult economic situation of Russia, she (financially)
    unable to master the large-scale production of the T-50.
    Two or three dozen T-50s in the Air Force will not do the weather - they need hundreds.

    Therefore, the fate of the project as a whole depends on the success of the agreement with India.

                    Maybe your father-in-law served on the MiG-21? Overhaul "bulkhead" ed 117s 1000h, AL-31F ser. 2 500h ser. 1 (experienced) here yes 150h. P25-300 from instant-21 EMNIP 300h.

                    They have the condition - they are not removed from the wing. figs / not figs and in terms of resources their engines always decently won. For example, on 777 under 60000h on the wing and nothing.

                        Where is it? At the civil airfield?
                        The part is called the Commander of the ATO, who is under the deputy commander of the regiment for IAS (a post under the rank of EMNIP major - lieutenant colonel)
                        And the ATO is aviation technical support or a detachment, not an aviation technical base.

      Two or three dozen T-50s in the Air Force will not do the weather - they need hundreds.

      If there is a large fleet of Su30, Su-35 and Mig-31 aircraft, just a few dozen T-50s will do the weather.

    But we don’t need it at all. Selling technologies, all the more advanced, for which I did not understand why do we need this?
    What kind of need is this? to sell even the finished T-50 is a crime not to mention the transfer of manufacturing technology ... and even for a ridiculous price.
    Relations with India are important, but not so much, are there borders that are fraught with long-term negative consequences, do we need it?

    In July last year, Indian Defense Minister Parrikar said that the Indian side had invested $ 2130 million in the aircraft development program.

    Someone who is superfluous, the Indians paid no more than 200 million and had to pay 6 yards five years ago, but did not pay because ours didn’t share technologies in violation of the agreements, and there was nothing to show, but what they showed was burned before our eyes. The Hindus have long scored at the FGFA, only the lobbyists from HAL, realizing which bold piece disappears, remind of it. Ours even moved seriously for the price, but it seems that the Indians are not ready to give 220 million dollars for a car which is not even in the iron ...
    Against this backdrop, a recent interview with Boeing’s CEO, Dennis Muilenburg in India, has excited many:
    Together we developed the F-22 Raptor, and given the possibilities of concluding contracts on a government-government basis, this program is the area where we are interested in investing

    The F-22 production line is idle, Boeing doesn’t have much with military orders, and India is a shit for it.

      "Further China will stretch" ////

      Here, in my opinion, your fundamental misunderstanding of the changes in the world over the past 30 years:
      China will not stretch, China will pull.
      China is a giant challenging America. He is not the "younger brother of the USSR"
      as it was once, but let's call it "godfather", "godfather". He dictates rather than agree
      with suggestions. If you hide with him, he will want the whole T-50 and get it with giblets.
      And it is still unknown whether it will be allowed to do it for the Russian Air Force or to be exported on behalf of Russia.

        What is the challenge ?? Yes, to China, and a challenge to America! China, on the contrary, is used to sit in the shadow of Russia, Russia, like a battering ram on America, is the only country in the world that dares to confront the United States, and China is modestly, aside, for itself. Yes, the Chinese have thousand-year principles about what you need to wait, do not get involved in a fight and the corpse of your enemy will float along the river!

And almost immediately, the yuan became the IMF reserve currency. Strange coincidence. It seems that China has made an offer that he could not refuse. what

    I doubt that our transmit some secret technology used in this aircraft. The reason for my doubt is the fact that ours is not just selling the T-50 to India, but it is developing an export version of the aircraft. So it is with rockets.
