@PARIKRAMA
Anything you have to tell about this DAC which we don't know ?

One thing I am starting to be assured is Scorpene and its future in India is secure... follow ons will be done at right time.

Some Questions
1. Except S400, FGFA and Akula , what are the realistic deals with Russia we should expect to be done .

2. When can we expect movement on Naval Helicopter Tenders ?

3. Is our interest in David's Sling, Arrow and Iron Dome still alive ?

1

• We have to see but formally Ka226 and Mi1v5 orders/contracts should be there
• Might see progress wrt Super upgrade for MKI
• Will also see some more spare and other aspects contract to improve fleet downtime issues.
• Push is still there for ships and kilo 636 subs which i dont think we will accept but generally a gentle nudge will be there.
• Civilian Nuclear power plants
• Components/Parts of Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) to be made in India
• Shtorm carrier will be marketed again and pushed
• The United Shipbuilding Corporation of Russia is planning to set up a manufacturing unit in Vishakapatnam or near by the place. By doing so, it plans to supply the requirements of Navy and contribute in black projects as well. SO that announcement may come if all negotiations go through..

2 One has to be serious about it. We just upgraded few of old ones with Russian help so it makes MOD think we can get a headroom for few months.. But then again it should have been prioritized in order to understand the need.

3. Post S400 acquisition we have to see what more we require to plug the gap in our multi layered BMD. For the moment no one can confirm or deny about the Israeli options as well whether we are serious about it or not.
