MTA Model during DefExp 2014

During MAKS-2015, Russia's NPP Polyot is reported to have discussed with the German company Rohde & Schwarz the possibility of joint development of communication equipment for the Russian-Indian military-transport aircraft MTA.

A NPP Polyot official reportedly said, "We have confirmed the intention to work together, have prepared our proposal to the Indian side for the next round of negotiations."

Rohde & Schwarz, which has an Indian subsidiary, makes secure communication products such as Software Defined Radios as well as test equipment for avionics and navigation assemblies.

NPP Polyot earlier discussed communication requirements, including data links, for the MTA and FGFA with IAF officials during Aero India 2015.

For those who may have missed the point, the big news is that the much delayed MTA project is still live and kicking!

Jesus christ! Could they be dragging this project out anymore?


Forget the Russians, they are only looking to use India as a cash cow, India needs to tie up with reliable and trustworthy nations with convergent interests like Japan,Korea, Israel and France- no more JVs with Russia.

India can also pair up with Brazil w.r.t Embraer and its KC-390.

I am sure they will be more than willing to transfer full tech for local Indian production and product development/customisation....and India might even get added benefit of convincing Embraer to produce commercial civilian aircraft in India as well as a deal sweetener.
