BENGALURU (India) (Sputnik) – Russia and India have agreed a draft contract for the joint development of the fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA), the Russian side is ready for its signing, Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Deputy Director Vladimir Drozhzhov told Sputnik Tuesday.


"Russian and Indian experts agreed and initialed the draft contract on the design work on the creation of prospective multifunctional fighter. The Russian side is ready to sign the contract. We expect the decision of our Indian partners on this issue, " Drozhzhov said.

He noted that the volume of investments in the project was the subject of negotiations.

The FGFA is based on the Russian Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft. It is a single-seat, twin-engine multirole jet fighter designed for air superiority and attack roles.

The project came about following the signing of a Russian-Indian cooperation agreement on October 18, 2007.

But Russians are working on PAK-FA and India has not signed the deal for FGFA and is waiting on it so there are less chances of Russia to do a JV for FGFA. If they develop PAK FA all by them selves and they will insist on just selling the plane because India will have no other option as F-35 will only be available to India in 2030 only.

Why would India accept PAK FA?India have already said it wouldn't accept it in T50 form..FGFA will have 43 changes from current one..There is no buying if there is no FGFA contract..
Your comment is lame & idiotic..
