BANGALORE: Russia has placed orders worth Rs 65 crore for procuring 34 radar computers for Su-30s of its air force.

"Irkut Corporation of Russia has confirmed purchase of 34 sets each of Radar Computer-I & Radar Computer-II for Russian Air force requirements from HAL with delivery schedule commencing from January 2014 onwards," the premier Indian aerospace PSU said in a release.

"The value of the contract is Rs 65 crore," it said. Radar computers are integrated into Airborne Radar System in Su-30s and are very critical for mission operation of the aircraft," it said.

Till date, a total of 300 of these computers are produced by the HAL for various aircraft programmes of Indian Air Force, Algerian Air force and Russian Airforce through Rosoboronexport.

HAL is in-charge for license-producing the Su-30MKIs for the IAF and has been working towards indigenising several components of the aircraft to reduce dependence on imports for spare parts and other equipment.

Under the Indian programme, more than 190 Su-30MKIs would be produced in Indian facilities in Nashik, which is the HAL hub for manufacturing Russian-origin aircraft.

And that is how we move up the value chain in aerospace. Now even the OEM of the venerable flanker is buying the Indian made mission computer. The work we did on the MKI and LCA are beginning to bear fruit. In another decade or two, we could be right up there with the best, if we continue our indigenous research and development. Refining the LCA, developing the AMCA, and learning from the Rafale and FGFA. In short, ensuring continuity of the knowledge base we developed with the LCA experience.

I don't think Russia has ever purchased avionics or mission computers from a foreign country before. They are very strict about not importing weapons or defence tech.

I think those computers are for Sukhoi_30's(impressed by MKI) which Russia has ordered lately. This shows India and Russia are following same air force doctrine(Chinese factor ).

Long live Indo - Russian friendship and Partnership

a journey of thousand miles begin with one small step.
Yes this may seem like a small drop in the ocean but this could be an indicator of future.
Also this should silence some of the Doubting Thomases who believe India is contributing only money towards FGFA project

65 crore ... Only

Just the beginning...more to come in the future...
