During the visit of the Indian delegation to Moscow in November can be resolved the issue of the supply of fighters Delhi FGFA (version of the T-50 aircraft for India). This writes the Indian newspaper The Financial Experess citing sources in the Defense Ministry of the country.

According to sources during the visit is planned to sign a firm contract for the supply of 154 vehicles and FGFA agreement on the division of work on the aircraft (which will be collected at the Indian plant of Russian vehicle sets) as well as to pinpoint the number of single and double versions of the fighter.

FGFA is still seen as the most important priority is to upgrade the Indian Air Force the magazine writes citing a senior source in the Indian Defense Ministry. However due to the reduction of the original plans to replenish the number of aircraft purchased new machines fighters may change in the smaller side.

Earlier in January 2015 reported Russia and India agreed on a draft project fighter FGFA. In February 2015 “Rosoboronexport» said agreed that the technical details of the parties moved on to discuss the commercial part of the deal.

Who cares about what Pakistan is doing? You guys still think you can get the Su-35? Why would your ACM's visit to Russia make anyone in India "sleepless"? Do you have $100BN to throw their way?

$100 billions:woot:!!Just ask them to spare $1 billion and i am quite sure that they will automatically get dispersed from this thread:lol:
 
A strong buzz from Russians: GOI will place firm 154 single/double seater order
Indian buzz: RM MP will first ascertain the reality as of now and see if it really be signed or such an order when Namo visits. IAF has put 65 Pakfa off the shelf as minimum requirement..

Wait for first RM MP visit and see the resposnes.. the believe on FGFA true progress..
BTW russians have given a new timeline of 4 protos of FGFA (PMI) to be handed to India by 2020..

Only 6 years late.........


Typical Russians.


And what of the MTA? No one seems interested in this project even though it will be the backbone of the IAF's transport fleet. With the ongoing Ukranian crisis I feel that the An-32s are going to be phased out a lot sooner than initially planned and their replacement is nowhere in sight.
 
they could also go for more SU 30/35 if the Rafale deal is being held up by the French.
