India chose Israeli supplier of air defense systems

88
The government of India has decided on the supplier of short-range air defense systems - it will be the Israeli company Rafael, reports Look With reference to the newspaper Economic Times.



The tender was held as part of the development program for the Indian Short-Range Missile System (SRSAM), which was launched at 2011. The cost of the potential contract is estimated at $ 279 million.

“India has decided to opt for the Spyder system, which is produced by the Israeli company Rafael. Its competitors were the Swedish industrial group SAAB and the Russian Rosoboronexport, ”a source told the newspaper.

“The next step will be the start of negotiations on the value of the transaction,” he added.

The newspaper reminds that the Indian army "is already armed with the Spyder system, which are deployed in border areas, but not within the framework of the SRSAM program."

This contract will have to provide for "technology transfer and offset (reverse investment of the exporter in the importing country, that is, Israel to India) in the amount of about 90 million dollars," the newspaper writes.

The article notes that the Indian Defense Ministry "expects to create at least two air defense regiments, in which there will be 1,8 thousand missiles." At the same time, the military placed an order for domestic Akash systems. However, Indian-made missiles do not meet all the requirements of the command, which, in fact, caused the search weapons abroad.

Help newspaper: “Spyder is a short-range anti-aircraft missile system. Elements of the air defense missile system are mounted on the Tatra vehicle chassis (wheel formula - 6 × 6). Depending on the anti-aircraft missiles used, the range of destruction reaches from 15 to 20 km, the height of the destruction of targets - to 9 km. "

          So they do. Hindus are generally wonderful guys and they are engaged in (as befits all great powers) practically everything. Well, maybe atomic icebreakers do not let out as unnecessary, although maybe I missed something and they already riveted a couple. That's only their quality lame. The quality of design and individual components and components. Well, and probably not enough experience, smart and quick brains to insert into the rocket and ground equipment.
          In an article about this, it is said that Indian anti-aircraft guns are inferior in capabilities:
          At the same time, the military placed an order for domestic Akash systems. However, Indian-made missiles do not meet all the requirements of the command, which, in fact, determines the search for weapons abroad.
          Although someone reminds me of their "Akash" winkedAlthough the Americans even had a hand in the development of some elements there. In general, this hodgepodge, although it’s its own, is not super. I’m sure that they will modernize and in general the development of air defense systems in India will receive a new impetus for development after the Israeli order.

          Here, not only the radar is important, you also need a rocket in accordance with the data received by the radar, teach to fly. And with this often there are plugs ...

      No matter how India regrets its choice, this complex has a significant disadvantage, namely, if the target arrives from the side or from the back, all the khans, and our Shell-C2 azimuth of the review 360 degrees (reaction time 4-6 sec.), due to mechanical rotation, the height of the target is up to 15km, and this one has 9km.

        Correction, I’ve made a mistake here. They have the MF STAR radar - a circular view. This complex has only 4 missiles, our Pantsir-C2 has 12 missiles and 1400 shells, I think this is an advantage. Interestingly, Spyder can shoot down tomahawks, as far as I know our Shell is called a tomahawk killer

        This once again proves what "good and reliable" allies they are in the field of military-technical cooperation. By the way, knowing the practice of the Indians to buy military equipment only on the condition of transferring technology, maybe they are just buying up technologies in this way that no one will sell them just like that.

            To shoot down a small drone is a non-trivial task for a complex whose typical target is a 15x15 m tactical fighter with a speed of 300 m / s or a 5x12 m helicopter with a speed of 80 m / s. It is in these areas that the Shell is firing its shells, moreover, accurately and quickly. And here the drone is 0.6x0.6 m, the consumption of shells is growing very quickly.

      is it that those on the knee in the field collect?
      Let's be honest and frankly say that the Iron Dome is not 100% effective even against the Qassams (it lets about 10-20% of missiles in a massive shelling, and this is evidenced by the fact that the Qassams destroyed targets in Israel).
      Efficiency against massive shelling of modern missiles at the complex is not known to anyone.

      Against what?
      Kassam, this primitive ground-to-ground missile, equipped only with a conventional warhead, can damage buildings and people who are not in a protected room. It is made of a hollow tube into which explosives are placed. In the tail part of the rocket, a device is installed for a special type of fuel, during the combustion of which gas is released that flows back and sets the rocket in motion. The fuel for Kassam consists of a simple mixture of white sugar with potassium nitrate KNO3, used in agriculture as a fertilizer. This mixture burns very quickly and, emitting a large amount of gas, allows the rocket to take off.

        pennies again for the fish. Well, start with that. that the pallets have not been firing at home for a long time, but at Grad. but from the point of view of ballistics. it’s even harder for Kasam to knock down because the artisanal production of this rocket gives a poorly calculated trajectory.

          Further - Thor - this is a tactical complex of military air defense (covers the brigade division), Buk - operational (army corps), S-300 and S-400 - this is the country's air defense.
          And about range - this is a matter of a different plan, and the S-300 has short-range modifications.

      The issue is not only about money. The issue is Indian technology transfer requirements:
      This contract will have to provide for “technology transfer and offset (the return investment of the exporter to the importing country, that is, Israel to India) in the amount of about $ 90 million, ”the newspaper writes.

      Yes, it’s sort of already decided
      The Indian Ministry of Defense has selected a supplier of air defense systems in a program to develop its own ground-to-air short-range missile system (SRSAM).

      Preference is given to the Israeli Spyder.

      The SRSAM program started in 2011. The total value of the contract is estimated at $ 2.7 billion.

      The Spyder system is the brainchild of the Israeli defense concern Rafael.

      Its competitors in the Indian tender were the Swedish group SAAB (specializing in industry and armaments) and the Russian Rosoboronexport.

      It is curious that there was also a “local” competitor - the Akash system of Indian production. But in quality, it, like the Russian and Swedish systems, was inferior to the Israeli development.

      In favor of Israel - the successful operation of India’s existing Spyder systems, deployed on border territories and used to protect key air bases.

      SRSAM involves the development of the Indian short-range missile system. The contract provides for the transfer of technology and Israeli investment in Indian production in the amount of $ 90 million.

      India plans to create at least 2 air defense regiments with 1800 missiles.

    The issue is not money, but the demand of the Indians for technology transfer. Our air defense systems do not transmit production technology to anyone, especially the Shell, otherwise they will lose their last income and protection. Jews were able to neutralize the S-300, having at their disposal full access to existing models.

    Well, we have already bought air defense systems from the United States, since the Russian ones, because of their stupidity, did not want to take, because the legs of Israeli developments grow from there. After all, not a single modernization of even the Iron Dome is complete without the involvement of American specialists.
    And then it turns out how to buy copies of S-300 from China.

      India usually requires not a simple purchase, but the transfer of technology and production at home with a high degree of localization. And since the staff there is "not very good", then not everyone succeeds in setting up production there without problems and cheaply. Specifically for Russia, this task is difficult - easier and more profitable! - to do everything ourselves. So maybe it's not a pity ...

    A strange choice, more than strange, because as I recall, this whole mess started with a search for a replacement for the obsolete air defense systems Osa and Kub. The Israeli system is an air defense facility. She is not the best choice for covering troops. Here Thor is the most. Thor is an independent, independent unit capable of firing on the march. And the Israeli system needs time to deploy the entire complex - a separate command post, separate launchers. The failure of the command post deprives the combat effectiveness of several launchers. In general, here politics, and not the opinion of the military, outweighed.
