India Finally Stands Up To Russia's After-sales Whim

[faithfulguy]

Any business practice worth its salt is expected to consider multiple bids before it can decide on who gets the contract. This is the operating procedure of most companies. It is a way to ensure that effort is taken to ensure that competition is encouraged for sourcing. That is exactly what India has done. Let us be honest. There is always less money in legacy projects especially if it is one off maintainance or part replacement. An oppurtunity for monopoly, always breeds inefficiency.

Russia is interested in the deals India makes with it as India is to get Russian technology. Make no mistake, Indian money was/is running a cash strapped Russia. Russian economy is driven by natural resources and defence exports. India plays an important role and Russia should look at this as a wake up call.

True, so in 8-10 years, India could likely not get all of T-50 technology. I doubt a country to part ways with important tech such as a stealth fighter. It would be a major disappointment for India as it will get the scale down T-50 tech.

Now, India has one foot in the west and one foot in the Russian side and the two sides are diverging. The west will never trust India completely when India has close military cooperation with Russia. And Russia Indian relationship is now only a business relationship because India is cozy up with the west in many respects. As a result, no one would trust India with their latest technology. Russia is not trusting India with the latest technology, but only joint development because of lack of funds. Once Russia can really stand on its own, it would no share with India its latest technology. I won't be surprised that the Russian version of T-50 would be more advance than what it will provide to India as Russians would still keep some to itself. Officially, it should be transparent. But if they can screw India with money on a military sale, do you trust them with genuine technology transfer?

In all of this, you failed to notice as India develops it can develop its own industry for its defense requirements. When US, Russia, China do it so can it. If India is going to be third largest economy with in 2 decades, it might as well take care of itself.

So are you saying that Russian military industrial complex would not survive without Indian capital? You could be right but its not likely. The oil price is going up and Russia is doing much better than under Yelsin or even Putin.

But losing India as a client would definitely be a major blow to the Russian military industry.

India has annually over 10 billion USD of deals with Russia, and nobody can replace it.

You sure about it that Russian sold inferior products to China ?? because whenevr i look at Chinese inventory ,it reminds me of Soviet .
J11B,submarines etc etc.

They always sold better gears to India, MKI was better than MKK. And there are many more example of that.

And except J-11/Kilo/S300, name me anything Soviet.

Did the Russian military industry not survive when it lost China as a client? I think they'd easily survive india. Especially considering there are many upcoming militaries in the middle east, south america, africa and south east/east asia who do not have access to western tech
