Pakistan unlikely to get access to sensitive Russian technologies | Russia & India Report
Senior experts believe that Moscow is likely to slowly increase defence cooperation with Islamabad, but that is unlikely to affect Indo-Russian strategic ties.
Pakistan, which is looking to buy Mi-35 helicopters from Russia, is unlikely to get access to sensitive technologies.
Ruslan Pukhov, head of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies told RIR that certain technologies like those required for creation of supersonic cruise missiles like the BrahMos would not wind up in Pakistani hands. Russia will also not lease nuclear submarines or share design technology used for the fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA), he added.
It was widely reported that Russia was going to lift an arms embargo on Pakistan, but both Rostec Chief Executive Sergey Chemezov and Russian Ambassador to India, Alexander Kadakin denied that such an embargo was ever in place.
Chemezov indicated this week that Russia was looking to supply Mi-35 helicopters to Pakistan. Although India has not officially commented on the development, there has a mild frenzy in the Indian media.
