Posted by Greek (44) Edit | RE: India & Su47 Berkut Posted: January 30, 2007 (1:23 PM) | India is certainly considering of buying new fighter planes, Russian ones more likely. The Su-47 though, is a technology demonstrator and might never become a production aircraft. Part of its technology will be transferred to the new stealth plane that the Russians are up to; the PAK-FA. I've heard some whispers that the PAK-FA is developed in co-operation with India, but I'm not sure about that. The PAK will be the Russian counterpart of F-22 Raptor. The point is that the first PAK will enter service somewhere in 2012-2015, if the schedule is kept; but will it? So India might- at first stage- buy some Su-30's or Rafales. |

Posted by Sukhoy (488) Edit | RE: India & Su47 Berkut Posted: January 30, 2007 (1:54 PM) | Rafale? No no no. Right now India buy more and more Su-30MKI. Russia is very close to sell 126 MiG-35 because they let India to build RD-33 in Inida, so the costs will be much less than for other aircrafts. Putin wanted to sign a contract to build jointly 5 gen aircraft, but that contract untill now, is not signed. India sign some agreements in nuk domain and in GLONASS case. About aircraft, India as I see want more MiG than Sukhoi for 5th gen. Maybe in the future, MiG will work with India in this case. I want to see potential buyer for Brahmos - jointly developted and produced by India and Russia. |

Posted by djewt1 (2) Edit | RE: India & Su47 Berkut Posted: February 5, 2007 (10:21 PM) | Defence Industry Daily link Here you can find a link with some current news on Russian Indian coorperation. It mentions the "5th gen fighter", a big deal for MiG-29OVT/MiG-35, new engines for the mig29 and a new cargo aircraft. Especialy the 5th generation fighter is intresting. I can understand it is to expensive for Russia to develop alone. But India's track record for finishing a project on schedule is not very good to say the least. India was with $1.5 billion also Israel's biggest customer in 2006: Another Defence Industry Daily link |
