IAI Sold a Barak-8 System to Azerbaijan

Armenians have a long history in India and a large community still live in Kolkata.

And the above pics are not military or Naval exercise but Goodwill visit to Bandar Abbas.

yeah, very interesting about the Armenians.. you learn something new everyday, but the old guy in the youtube vid said they're down from 5000 to 50, but I suppose if you're only 5k to begin with, you will ultimately go down, I fear the Parsis are also doomed to eventually fade out.

@vsdoc is already 50% hindu

but we offtopic, Iran and IN did some exercises but they were probably regulation and nothing intense or war games like but there is some friendship and business partnership there, we are certainly not hostile to them, middle east mess is none of our concern.

Reports in Azerbaijan confirm the rumors that started in 2012 – Israel sold an operational land-based version of the Barak-8 system to Azerbaijan

Land Based Barak-8 - http://www.iai.co.il/2013/36511-45489-en/SystemMissileandSpace_Divisions...

The barak-8 system, which is known to the Israeli public primarily due to the cooperation between Israel and India, was apparently sold to Azerbaijan as well. However, while India possesses a maritime version of the system, Azerbaijan was sold an operational land-based version (12 launchers, 75 surface-to-air missiles). This means that the land system is also operational, apparently, in India. The source is a publication on Armenews.

According to the report, Israel sold to Azerbaijan considerable amount of different types of weapons, including IMI's EXTRA Guided rockets, Aerostar UAVs, Elbit Systems' ATMOS self-propelled artillery system, Spike missiles (including NLOS-SSM), Elta's EL / M-2080 and EL / M-2288 radar systems, IAI's and Elbit's UAVs, IAI's LAHAT anti-tank missiles and "Shaldag" ships.

The Harpy 'Kamikaze' UAV should be added to the list as well. It was put to operational use by Azerbaijan during the recent conflict with Armenia (according to media reports in Azerbaijan, six such drones were used). Apparently, this is all part of a deal signed in 2012.

A publication on apa.az claims that T-72 tanks and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles used by the Azerbaijani Army were modernized by Israeli companies. Furthermore, Azerbaijan received an order to produce 30 “Aerostar” and 30 “Orbiter-2M” drones basing on Israel’s license.

How do you make sure that these systems won't end up in the hands of any enemy state of India especially to reverse engineer it ?

If there's enough money involved, the Israelis themselves will hand the enemies of India anything. Israel and India are nothing more than business partners.

Israel will do what's in its best interest and so will India.

For many matters Pakistani can still trust Israeli`s more than Indian`s .Coming to the point India contribution to this system is how much ? other than spending money as Israel aerospace ind is giant and it is like for an country sell any thing which they think is saleable ,regarding Pak close ties with Saudi/UAE india has defence pact with UAE and more recently Saudi gave warm welcome to Indians similarly Iran is an other example .So please stop our propaganda about some weapon system which has other than US $ earned by poor people blood and sweat no contribution

 

[DavidSling]

Those comments have so many conspiracy theories in them lol.
Most likely India has been aware of this action and approved it aswell.
Azerbaijan is an ally of Israel for a long time and the israeli leadership believe they can be trusted.
As for future navy ships of the Israeli navy : they will be equipped with c dome and barak 8 interceptors in the near future

Considering it's a "JV"

I doubt the veracity of this news, i really don't care what Israelis sell to other countries,what is particular about Azerbaijan is our diplomatic relations.

Its like selling Akash to any country which openly recognize Kashmir as part of Pak and have military pact with them.

Coming to the point India contribution to this system is how much ?

within the Barak-8. Indian firms will contribute the pneumatic actuator, dual-pulse rocket motor, and motor arming/safing technologies.

“Key features of the 70 km-range Barak 8 missile are an active radar seeker and a dual-pulse solid rocket motor. The first motor pulse propels the weapon through most of its trajectory while the second fires as the missile approaches its target, giving it the energy necessary to defeat evasive action or random weaving. The active seeker means that the missile is autonomous in the endgame, leaving the ship’s radar free to track [DID: illuminate, actually – many passive radars can track hundreds of targets, but illuminate just a couple at a time for targeting] other targets. The missile launcher comprises an eight-round module, three or more of which could make up a typical system.”

 

[rockstarIN]

I think its a JV and need Indian approval for third party sale.

We supply the duel pulse motor and some other systems.

So do India for that Matter, How Azerbaijan is Enemy of India we very good Economic Relations With Them
Not first time Israeli's Given them Technology.Azerbaijan is Trusted Nato ally This concerns are Unnecessary.

 

[Dalit]

India has strong ties with Iran, isn't it?

How do we make sure that plenty of Israeli systems in India won't end up in Iran?

This is what we call the most extreme manifestation of Indian paranoia. Next time, please consult the Indians before selling anything to any country...

It's a JV so so it's matters we share profits

And it will be consulted with India before selling it to third party
