Russia threatens to retain Brahmos source codeDated 16/10/2005

Russia has threatened that it will not give away the source code which will enable the supersonic Cruise missile BrahMos to be mounted on foreign made platforms, including the recently contracted French Scorpene or the Multirole Medium Range Combat Aircraft (M-MRCA)which India is buying from the global market.

Sources in the Indian defense ministry say, Moscow has made it known to the Indian defense planners that there is no guarantee that it will allow India to mount the BrahMos cruise missile on third country platforms until the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)dispute is settled.

Sources in the Indian defense ministry however say it is part of Moscow's pressure in the run up to the MMRCA procurement program of the Indian government.

India is on a global hunt for a contract worth $5bn for the procurement of 126 MMRCA for the Indian Air Force into which Russia has also fielded its MiG 29 SMT aircraft. The other contenders are Dassault of France with the Mirage 2000-5; Saab of Sweden with the Gripen; Lockheed Martin of United States with the F-16 and Boeing of United States with the F-18.

An executive of the Rosoboronoexport of Russia based in New Delhi however said, Russia is perturbed over the delay in the settlement of the IPR issue adding that it is not possible for Russia to contribute hi-tech technologies to India without much return.

The BrahMos anti-ship supersonic cruise missile is a joint development effort of India and Russia in which India's defense research agency, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)is contracted with NPOM of the Russian Federation.

The BrahMos, which is being introduced into the Indian Navy, is a 300 kilometers range supersonic anti ship cruise missile and the land and sea versions of the Cruise missiles are also being tested. The missile is one of the most potent precision guided weapons developed for the Indian armed forces in recent.

However Russia now insists that the BrahMos export, and other technological aspects including the source code, should be linked to the solving of the IPR issue which has held back further research and development between India and Russia. In fact there has been no signing of any defense contract between India and Russia since the United Progressive Alliance government came to power in May 2004.

Russia has held back the lease of a nuclear submarine, the TU-22 Backfire bomber capable of delivery nuclear weapons, and various other weapons and equipment under negotiations between India and Russia for several years.

The sticky parts of the IPR issue are the supply of spares from Russia for even erstwhile USSR-made weaponry currently with the Indian defense forces. The other issue is the up-grading of the Russian made systems by a third country. India is contemplating the upgrade of a large chunk of its USSR weapons and equipment with Western technology, a move that is not to the liking of the Russians. It is estimated that the upgrade market alone of aging USSR weapons with the Indian defense forces is around $10 to $15bn.

"The threat of Russia now allowing mounting of the BrahMos cruise missile on a third country platform is only an arms twisting policy to which Moscow often resorts," said an Indian Army official.

However an Indian Air Force official admitted that the acquisition of BrahMos could be linked to the sale of the MIG 29SMT by the Russians.
The Mirage 2000-5 of France is the most favored aircraft within the Indian Air Force for the MMRCA. The procurement of MMRCA will however be a political decision.

Source code for third party platform integration is considered a critical thing for you? At the most India won't be able to export it. What's the big deal about it

 

[con]

The whole missile it self is missing.

which proves you have no idea about missiles.. isn't it?

 

[BATMAN]

The big deal is that till yesterday some Indians were claiming that the platform was manufactured in India and now its is clear that the platform was also Russian. Indians only shared the expenses.
DRDO cannot make a damn thing of its own in its entire life, even after seeking technolgy and components from 10 different countries the end product remain indeginous to you.
Basically you have shown the west that you hate Muslims more than any one and hence you deserve there support.

It also proves he does not even read the articles he posts correctly !!

The code issue was linked to India signing the IPR, which India did, and all problems were solved. How the hell is it related to the MRCA deal

You make me laugh along with others i might add

What the fcuk are you talking about ? The source code was related to IPR, that India signed a LONG TIME BACK NOW. That was the end of it.

Cant you read your own fcuking article properly, it clearly mentions IPR issues as the sticking point.
Are u ******** blind that you cannot understand plain english?

Mods, i ask to please give this guy an infraction atleast for being such a damn thick skinned troll.

EDIT: Did you not hear me say, the Issue was RESOLVED as India signed the IPR's.

Ediot, go to the article and read what ever is highlighted in red and you will find it but if you don't want to read it than I cannot help you ask people around you for help.

They are all sponsored by RAW and this attribute another failure to RAW.

Very simple, you may not be able to fire one!

Why do you claim it to be Indian?

But you said Indians hate Muslims right? How could RAW help holy warriors then?

Very simple, you may not be able to fire one!

Why do you claim it to be Indian?

hmm.. how did we carry out 14 tests of the missile then?
Every report says it is a joint Indo-Russian missile ,unlike the "claimed indigenous" Babur which requires only 1 test for induction,as your dear president has declared.

If you can only see "Indo" within Indo-Russian... you have got problem.

What a complete idiot, nobody is going to ban him or give him infaction unless he is an Indian or he is ADUX. So just dont bother replying to him, his level of intellect and his stupid mentality is there to see for everyone.
