India and Russia going to sign biggest ever defence deal worth $ 35 billion today

[pulsar220]

You need about another $300 billion and another 2,100 5th Generation fighters to come on par with us. What I meant by that our government is procuring 2,443 F-35 Lightning costing about 323 billion U.S dollars to equip our three armed forces ARMY,NAVY and Airforce with different variants of the F-35, because were phasing out the F-16's in a decade.. You guys, should have wisely used that amount money on leveling chronic poverty in your country as well as infrastructure projects.. But it's all good keep buying your toys.

we are not trying to compete with you. we are already investing 1tr $ on infrastructure.
may be u guys should stop spending so much and worry about your debt and rising unemployment.

When your country has a 14 trillion dollar GDP and PPP then talk to me, I live in California if that state were to branch off from the union it would rank as the 8th Largest economy in the world with a GDP at 1.85 trillion dollars. Our PerCapita is 45,000+, whats yours?? $1,000?? How many do you have living in the street/slums without any accessibility to any human necessities? I believe numbers were going to 800 million, that's twice over the U.S population.. Yeah, I think the U.S is doing pretty good, considering the facts what's going on other countries..

Are you talking about Russia or India ??

If its India - who gave you the idea that we are buying these fighters to compete against you ?

If its Russia - forget it, one or two Topol-M will bring your country to its knees.

BTW what was the need for this post ?? A chronic itching for trolling perhaps.

Also it amuses me that with all these toys, your country is getting its rear spanked by a rag-tag group armed only with AKs and RPGs.

FGFA Preliminary Design Contract Signed

India and Russia have signed a preliminary design contract (PDC) for their joint Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) programme.

According to a government statement, "The contract envisages joint design and development of Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft with the involvement of HAL on the Indian side and Sukhoi Design Bureau and Rosoboronexport on the Russian side." More later.

I'm loving it!

 

[kingdurgaking]

Finally we are part of design...

but we havent signed the $30 billion deal... was expecting that..
seems to be some sensitive deals were also on.. wondering what it could be?

 

[indushek]

Well good news but atleast for FGFA will there be a redesign of those air vents. Something similar to F-22 or F-35 maybe??

 

[sudhir007]

India and Russia announced in October that they had almost finalized the design agreement and series production of the FGFA could begin by 2020, with India likely to procure 250-300 aircraft for an estimated $250-300 billion.

I think it writing mistake it should be $25-30billion

India, Russia sign deal for fifth generation fighter aircraft


Taking defence cooperation to a new level, India and Russia on Tuesday signed a deal for design and development of advanced fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) estimated to cost $ 295 million, the first such venture between them.

The contract envisages joint development of preliminary design contract (PDC) for the advanced fighter jet and will involve Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) from India and the Sukhoi Design Bureau and Rosoboronexport on the Russian side.

The pact was signed on the margins of a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, during which the two sides also discussed their defence relationship which is transforming from a buyer-seller format to one that, includes joint research and development, manufacturing and marketing activities.

According to reports, the deal is expected to be worth over USD 295 million and the design of the aircraft is likely to be finalised within next 18 months.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has plans of acquiring 250-300 of these aircraft by the year 2030. Single and twin seat versions of the aircraft are expected to be developed and the plane will be ready for flying by 2017.

The FGFA would be based on Sukhoi’s T-50 aircraft, which made its maiden flight in January this year.

During their meeting, the two leaders also expressed satisfaction at the regular service-to-service interactions and joint exercises that have taken place between their countries.

The two sides also agreed to make efforts to upgrade joint military exercises in various fields including counter-terrorism.

Since the Cold War era, Russia has been the biggest military hardware supplier to India and the Indian armed forces rely heavily on that country.

Though India has been working to diversify its military imports, still the bulk of the hardware with the three defence forces is of Russian origin including frontline Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft and T-90 and T-72 tanks.
