Russia, India to Start Manufacture of First Test Models of T-50 Fighter Jet
Russia and India are moving into the phase of constructing the first test models of the Russian-Indian fifth-generation T-50 fighter jet.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) –
Russia and India are moving into the phase of constructing the first test models of the Russian-Indian fifth-generation T-50 fighter jet with stealth capabilities, the deputy head of Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport said Tuesday.
“The agreements on the contract are currently at their final stages, which include the development of construction documentation, building the test models, trials, and certification,” Sergei Goreslavsky told RIA Novosti in an interview ahead of the Aero India-2015 exposition in Bangalore, India, that will open on February 18.
The first stage of the Russian-Indian project has already been finalized. The first test aircraft is scheduled to be created after 2018.
The Sukhoi T-50, or PAK FA, is the Russian Air Force’s first stealth fighter, designed to succeed the Sukhoi Su-27, as well as the Mikoyan MiG-29 fighter jets. The aircraft conducted its first test flight in 2010.
The FGFA, developed jointly by Russia’s Sukhoi and India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, is a derivative from the T-50. Unlike the Russian version, the Indian version of the aircraft will be a two-seater.

"New Delhi Gets Full Access to Russian New Fighter Jet Technology"
According to Indian ambassador in Moscow, defense companies involved in a joint project with Russia to build a Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) are satisfied with their access to Russian technologies.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) –
Indian defense companies involved in a joint project with Russia to build a Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) are satisfied with their access to Russian technologies, the Indian ambassador in Moscow said, denying media reports that Moscow withheld information from New Delhi.
"We have had excellent results in our bilateral cooperation and are fully satisfied with the access to technologies that our defense enterprises get. We proceed with the same level of cooperation in the development of the FGFA," Ambassador Pundi Srinivasan Raghavan told RIA Novosti.
This remark came after IHS Jane's Defence Weekly magazine claimed last September that India had expressed concerns to Russia over the progress on the FGFA program. According to the defense news weekly, New Delhi was annoyed about Russia's reluctance to share design data on its T-50 PAK-FA jet, which is the base model for the FGFA aircraft.
Raghavan refuted these reports, saying they "may have been supplied by competitors," and accused the media of biased reporting.
The ambassador lauded the progress in military technical cooperation between Russia and India, who are working on a raft of bilateral projects.
"The new tendency in the relationship is the joint development of advanced technology weapon systems. FGFA, MTA and Brahmos Missile are examples of the joint development of weapon systems incorporating sophisticated technology," he noted.
MTA stands for the Multirole Transport Aircraft, which is a twin-engine light transport plane with a maximum take-off weight of 65 tons. It is designed to replace the BAe 748 and Antonov An-26 craft, currently in Indian service.
Raghavan told RIA Novosti the countries have agreed to fast-track the project, with a timetable to be laid out by the year-end.
"Both sides have decided to speed up the work of the project. Apparently, this multi project differs from other projects and that is why it takes more time to discuss all the details. But I hope that by the end of 2015, we will be able to agree on a very clear and detailed timetable," he said.

Lets wait and see for official statements from our side, Sputnik is not that realiable as a source and the "first test aircraft after 2018" would be a huge delay from earlier plans.

No induction was planned after 2020 only, but the earlier plan was to have the first prototype available in India around this year, with the last (serial production) version delivered around 2019 before the production can start. We need at least 4 prototypes of different stages to develop FGFA and starting from 2018 it would delay production start to around 2025 or later.
Realistically, we should get one of the current T50 prototypes to test it in Indian conditions and to give IAF a better idea on what changes they need. I still hope that we will get our own cockpit layout, with own displays and the way IAF wants it to be, not as it suits Russian forces (see problems in the MKI). The later prototypes then will also include more changes, like the Type 30 engine, most likely external and internal customizations. But with the new MoD, things are a bit blurred, if we make a complete U turn or what they actually want now.

Upgraded T-50 PAK-FA powerplant in rig tests
The Izdeliye 30 engine for Russia’s T-50 fighter is undergoing rig testing, and will enter flight trials in 2017.
United Aircraft Corporation chief Yuri Slusar says the Saturn 117S (AL-41) is already a “very deep modernisation” of the AL-31 that powers the Su-27 and Su-30 fighters, and is “sufficient” for the current stage of the T-50 test campaign.
He adds that the company has six T-50 test aircraft, two for ground tests and four for flight testing. Three additional aircraft will join the fleet in 2015.
“Everything is on track,” he says. “We are moving on as per the schedule agreed with our customers.”
He adds that it was always the plan to operate the T-50 test campaign in two phases, the first using the Saturn 117S and the second with the Izdeliye 30.
Slusar also expressed confidence that the Yak-130 advanced jet trainer is poised to receive a follow on order from the Russian air force, and add to its customer base overseas.
Russia has reportedly commited to 60 addition Yak-130s. Slusar would not confirm this number, but said discussions are ongoing.
He adds that the company is indiscussion with countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia for the type, and that potential buyers include Mongolia and Vietnam.
The type has already scored two overseas buyers: Algeria and Bangladesh.
