What's new

MAKS 2013.......indian angle

. .
Any idea why the KA-52 was not considered by India as a possible purchase for its arsenal

Ka-52 is ideal for the sea borne operations like on a helicopter carrier,,,,,,and russia will be using it on its mistral class.

It has a dual rotor and as a result is very fast probably second fastest after sikorsky.But its has no composites and made of almost all metal so the weapons or useful payload is only 2500 kg!!!

Compare this to apache with >5000 kg payload

anyone with new info.......pls

Some pretty interesting stuff:


Joint military aviation projects between India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and Russian companies are running on schedule, a senior HAL executive told RIR at the MAKS-2013 international air and space show.
“The FGFA (fifth generation fighter aircraft) is on the right track and on schedule,” R. P. Chakraborty, Deputy General Manager (IMM) at HAL said on Wednesday.
When asked about the delays in the project, Chakraborty said they were on account of the design documentation in the contract, an issue that has already been resolved. The contract to develop a sketch and technical project of the fighter was completed in April 2013.

Joint military aviation projects between India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and Russian companies are running on schedule, a senior HAL executive told RIR at the MAKS-2013 international air and space show.
“The FGFA (fifth generation fighter aircraft) is on the right track and on schedule,” R. P. Chakraborty, Deputy General Manager (IMM) at HAL said on Wednesday.
When asked about the delays in the project, Chakraborty said they were on account of the design documentation in the contract, an issue that has already been resolved. The contract to develop a sketch and technical project of the fighter was completed in April 2013.
“A team of Indians is already in Russia and a Russian team is already in the design centre to go ahead with the work on the design,” Chakraborty said.
The fifth generation fighter aircraft is being jointly developed by HAL and Russia’s Sukhoi. FGFA is a derivative project from the PAK FA (T-50 is the prototype) being developed for use by the Indian Air Force.
Multirole Transport Aircraft and Su-30 MKI
While emphasising that schedules are being met for the Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA), a medium-lift military transport aircraft, Chakraborty said there is a greater urgency to develop the FGFA. “Both Russia and India need the FGFA…but in the case of MTA, it’s not the Russian government that requires it. We need it,” he said

The MTA will replace India’s Antonov An-32 transport aircraft and should enter the Indian Air Force by 2018.
The Sukhoi Su-30 MKI, a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter is being assembled under license by HAL. “140 of these aircrafts are being upgraded now,” Chakraborty said, adding the planes would have stronger radars, greater avionic sub-systems and an upgraded weapons system with an improvement in missile firing integration and firing.
Over a thousand companies, representing 43 countries, are taking part in the MAKS airshow, which marks its 20th birthday this year.

Indo-Russian military aviation projects on schedule: HAL executive | Russia & India Report
My highlights:
-The FGFA project is now now on track and the issues in the past have been cleared up.

-the FGFA project is receiving a lot of attention and impetus from both the Russian and Indian sides.

- MTA should enter IAF service in 2018 (will believe it when i see it)

-140 MKIs are being upgraded (presumably to Super standard).

guys need some contribution here................pls
@Abingdonboy @Gessler @Dillinger @vostok

There is nothing to contribute, worst case scenario almost every big project will now be pushed back by at least 1 or 2 years. Best case scenario, fund outlays already made will cover the situation for at least projects like FGFA and certain relatively lower cost acquisition. Rafale, naval projects beyond P-15A will be facing a good amount of delay- confirmed. The real scenario will lie somewhere is the middle. Beyond that, I will leave one last tidbit- if only there were more people with the common insight of the likes of Aakar Patel sans the crushing cynicism and ego.

Time to take a break from def.pk. :wave:
@Abingdonboy Hold the fort.
