New Delhi. Ukraine has handed over the final eighth batch of aircrafts to India under the framework of the major contract between the State Enterprise "SpetsTechnoExport" (the special exporter of State Concern "Ukroboronprom") and the Indian Ministry of Defence.

Five modernised military transport aircraft AN-32RE were repaired and upgraded at Ukrainian “Plant 410 Civil Aviation” for the Indian Air Force, and the operating lifetime of aircrafts was extended.

“Today we transfer another five modernised aircrafts and successfully complete one of the most important export contract the total value of which is $400 million. After "Ukroboronpromom" gained control over Ukrainian strategic aviation enterprises, we have received an assignment to increase the number of manufactured aircrafts and expand cooperation in this area. Now we are moving steadily in that direction, and today’s event proves it,” stated Arthur Heruvimov, the Deputy Director General for Development of Ukroboronprom.

Indian Air Forces ordered services for major repairs of 40 aircrafts and their life extension for 15 years. Specialists of the plant coped successfully with the set task, and will subsequently accompany operation of this equipment.

Since the beginning of this year, numerous attempts were made to discredit the Ukrainian aircraft industry by spreading false information through various sources. However, the management of "SpetsTechnoExport" held talks with the Indian Defence Minister in Bangalore in February this year and consolidated cooperation between countries. The parties have signed additional contracts to repair damaged ANs and supply aviation spare parts that only benefit bilateral cooperation. There are also continued negotiations on establishing a base for training pilots in India.

According to VladyslavBelbas, Deputy Director of "SpetsTechnoExport", Ukraine has demonstrated to its Indian partners the responsible attitude of Ukrainian companies to fulfillment of concluded agreements. “Thanks to the trust of the Indian side, today we can talk about a significant increase of our workload and additional supplies of a wide range of aviation spare parts for Indian market,” he said.

Not a sentance addressing what happens to the rest of the 100+ strong fleet that was to be upgraded in India to the RE standard. The last batch of AN-32RE upgraded in Ukraine already ran into difficulties because of the Crimean crisis- what is the state of the contractual obligations now? Will the Ukranian side be able to deliver on their end for the rest of the fleet to be upgraded?
