Russia to take part in IAF tender for 400 fighters

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Russia will take part in a tender for the supply of 400 fighters for the Indian Air Force (IAF), Deputy Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Vladimir Drozhzhov told RIA Novosti on Feb. 15.

According to Drozdov, who is in Bangalore for Aero India 2017, Russia is going to offer India the latest MiG and Sukhoi jets.

It was reported earlier that Russia is ready to offer India a new variant of the MiG-35 lightweight fighter.

Ilya Tarasenko, General Director of the MiG Corporation, told TASS that the MiG Corp is ready to discuss supplies of MiG-35 with Indian partners. Tarasenko underlined that the corporation is ready to fully implement the principles of the Make in India programme and discuss issues of localization of aircraft production in India.

According to Tarasenko, the MiG corp has already proved its capacity, implementing the program of modernization of the Indian MiG-29 to UPG level.

400 fighters?? Does that include light, medium and heavy fighters as well. But, in the first place India would be so dumb to procure 400 foreign fighters as there is no imminent threat. Better to induct 2 more squadrons of Rafales and focus on LCA Mk-2 and FGFA, offering their production lines to Indian defense firms. Partner with private entities and speed up the development of AMCA.

More like 40 fighters in the end after fooling the world for nearly a decade. Similar to what they did with their last contract. From 126 with nothing less than TOT to 40 off the shelf

Give him a rest.they've discussed over thousand pages for next PAF procurement for last 7 years and didn't get any.This kind of reaction is totally normal.

By the way,India is not buying 400 jets for next 20 years.where they're getting this tender in the first place?

Maybe 120 FGFA,but that's JV.

Few dozens Mig-29k perhaps.

And maybe few dozen additional Su-30.Nothing else.

By fooling I meant the companies that were dumb enough to take part in that tender, apart from fooling your own nation ofcourse.. I for one couldn't be happier at the snail pace at which your iaf buys jets.

What Indians reaction will be if one day Russia sell Su35 to Pakistan?

When you win the bidding, Indians will ask you take responsibility to build hundreds of them in India. That's a disaster.
