Hope to sign FGFA deal with India by year-end: Russia

BENAULIM (GOA): With military deals worth about Rs 60,000 crore signed and sealed with India here, Russia is hopeful that another big ticket agreement on Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft will be inked by year-end.

"The agreement had been completed on our end, we are ready to sign it. It is now down to the Indian side.

"There are some formalities to figure out, but I think it will be signed by the end of this year," Sergei Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation a Russian umbrella organisation of 700 hi-tech civilian and military firms, said here.

After a hiatus of nearly a year, India and Russia had in February revived talks on the much delayed FGFA project after a clearance from Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.

Since then, a lot of issues related to work share, IPR and technology transfer among others have been sorted out between the two sides along with the monetary commitments.


Under the new offer, India will have to pay about $3.7 billion, instead of $ 6 billion, for the technological know-how and three prototypes of the fighters, defence sources have said.

In 2010, India had agreed to pay $295 million towards the preliminary design of the fighter, called in India as Perspective Multi-role Fighter (PMF).

"The FGFA project will produce a state of the art fighter jet, and it will be the result of the work on Russia's most modern technology done by both Russian and Indian engineers and constructors," Chemezov said.

"As a Fifth Generation, it means fifth generation speed, ballistics and military equipment, avionics and stealth capabilities among other qualities," he said.

"It shall be on a par with the capabilities of Russia's PAK-FA T-50 aircraft, a Fifth-Generation fighter but as it will be designed in the next few years, it is likely to exceed it in some specifics.

"Our technology is always developing," the Russia's top defence industry official said.

How many Pak Fa's will we be going for ultimately?

250

250

I assume 200 will be customized FGFA and 50 or so will be off the line from Russia?

“This is a 5th generation aircraft that will be created in cooperation with the Indian company. It will be slightly similar to the FGFA, but will still be an independent, new and advanced aircraft. We have almost finished all negotiations and are ready to sign; only formalities remain. I hope this contract will be signed before the end of the year", he said.

Haven't finish the jet, it is still under construction.

If that's a refueling probe, they gotta do much better than this.

in place spending 3.7b$ on fgfa develpoment , it would be better to upgrade the mki .
let the russian develope the fgfa of their own.

after a dacade you can ask them to produce it under mii.

Yes, it's obviously a retractable refueling probe. What is it that they need to do better?

How many Pak Fa's will we be going for ultimately?

The numbers keeps changing, we will have to wait for the cost of producing them in large numbers. Lets wait for first part of 2017 for the details.

Lot depends on the service life of the engine as well, Russians are not good at designing a reliable jet engines.
