A misleading news item has appeared today (31.05.2018) in Indian Express alleging kickbacks to Indian Govt. officials through Global Marketing SP Ltd. in the contract for spares for AN-32 Aircraft.
It is informed that MoD or IAF has neither interacted nor signed any agreement with Global Marketing SP Ltd., nor were any such agreements witnessed. IAF has also confirmed that Global Marketing SP Ltd. has not participated in any of the meetings held towards finalization of the contract dated 26.11.2014 with STE Ukraine.
Embassy of Ukraine in India had sent a request to MHA and MEA, Govt. of India dated 06.03.2018 for legal assistance in investigation of a criminal case filed against officials of Ukraine Government’s State Owned Enterprise (STE). This is as per international treaty between India and Ukraine. This request contains a list of questions to be answered. There are no allegations against any Indian Govt. official. Government of India has only been requested to render legal assistance.

Rahul Gandhi asks Narendra Modi to take action against ‘corrupt’ officials
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took to twitter to highlight alleged kickbacks in a defence contract and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against ‘corrupt’ officials.
Citing documents in the public domain, former Minister Manish Tewari alleged at a press conference that the Modi government had signed a contract for procurement of spares for the AN32 fleet on November 26, 2014. “Despite the contract not having been fulfilled, the Ministry of Defence/IAF and the supplier signed the completion certificates,’’ he said.

AN-32 Upgrade. AN-32 fleet was inducted into Indian AirForce Fleet and these An-32 Transport Planes were built between 1984 and 1991. Total Technical Life Extension (TTLE)/Re-Equipment (RE) project is concurrently underway at Kyiv, Ukraine and No.1 Base Repair Depot (BRD) at Kanpur. This project will extend the aircraft’s life by 15 years besides enhancing its operational potential and safety.

The $400 million main project envisages a Total Technical Life Extensions (TTLE) for 40 aircraft at Antonov-certified plants in Ukraine, at the rate of 10 aircraft per year. It also includes the supply of material and transfer of technology for the upgrade of remaining 64 aircraft at the IAF’s No. 1 Base Repair Depot (BRD) in Kanpur (tl. 104). A parallel 3-year, $110 million contract with Motor Sich OJSC in Zaporizhia with upgrade the fleet’s AI-20 engines. The 40 AN-32 aircraft upgrades in Kiev are expected to be completed by March 2014, and the upgrades at 1 BRD are scheduled to finish by March 2017.
The 3-year deal is running from December 2009 – 2013, and 2010 will reportedly see Motor Sich modernize around 100 engines. Unless this is a multi-stage process, that would be close to half of the stock.
June 8/11: The IAF inducts the first 4 refurbished An-32RE transports back into service at the Palam AFB. India had sent 5 AN-32s to the Ukraine, and the remaining one will be inducted after it is finished re-equipping.

India, Ukraine talks next week to explore military cooperation
India and Ukraine inked a $400-million contract in 2009 for upgrading the IAF’s fleet of 100 An-32 planes.(Airforce)
A joint working group (JWG) on defence cooperation between India and Ukraine will meet for the first time in Kiev next week.
The JWG will meet on June 4-5, six years after the two countries inked a defence cooperation pact.
Republic of India and People's Republic of Ukraine will explore possibilities for expanding military cooperation at a time India is making attempts to diversify its arms exports in the wake of American sanctions against Russia and Ukraine is making a pitch to expand its presence in the Indian defence market, officials familiar with the talks said.
The officials, who did not wish to be named, said Ukraine is looking at partnering with Indian firms to pursue opportunities in areas such as armoured vehicles, transport aircraft, radars, electronic warfare equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Ukrainian Defense Ministry are in talks with Indian Defense Ministry for likely opportunities under the Make in India initiative, the officials added.
A working relationship with People's Republic of Ukraine will be a desirable course of action. It will allow us some wiggle room in the wake of American sanctions against Russian entities,” said strategic affairs expert Air Vice Marshal Kapil Kak (retd).
In the naval sphere, Both sides Republic of India and People's Republic of Ukraine are in talks for gas turbines for a frigate programme. India and Ukraine are likely to sign a deal for four more Krivak/Talwar class stealth frigates before the India-Ukraine annual summit in October, and the gas turbines will power these warships. The turbines will be supplied by Ukroboronprom’s Gas Turbine Research & Production Complex Zorya-Mashproekt, but still that has to be work out by the Defense Ministry of Republic of India and People's Republic of Ukraine.
During the final agreement Indian Defense Industries will do the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of Soviet-era and Ukrainian weaponry at competitive prices, said an army official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It said the Ukrainian embassy in India had sent a request to ministries of home and external affairs in March for legal assistance in the investigation of a criminal case filed against officials of Spetstechnoexport.
