Sukhoi to sign another contract with India on fifth generation multi-role fighter

[shree835]

Russia’s Sukhoi aircraft manufacturer plans to sign another contract with India in the framework of the joint project for the construction of a fifth generation multi purpose combat jet, Alexander Klementyev, a Sukhoi deputy director general told Itar-Tass on Friday.

“We hope the contract [for experimental design works] will be signed soon,” he said.The intergovernmental agreement on this project was signed back in 2007. Three years after, the sides inked a general contract on joint design and production and then the first engineering development contract. Works under this agreement were completed in 2013. “Since then, we have been working on the second contract for experimental design works,” Klementyev said, adding that this was a unique project aiming at long-term cooperation.
“We have never had such a format of cooperation before,” he said. “There used to be licensed production in China and in India, but now it will be joint designing and production of a new combat aircraft.”The Sukhoi/HAL Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) or Perspective Multi-role Fighter (PMF) is a fifth-generation fighter being developed by India and Russia. An agreement on the project was signed in Moscow on October 18, 2007. The future aircraft will have a number of differences from its Russian prototype – the PAK FA fifth generation fighter – to adjust it to the requirements of the Indian Air Force.

How much is this contract worth ?

IIRC the last one was worth 300 million dollars to develop avionics for Pak-Fa.
Honestly speaking we can only contribute in Avionics and composites of FGFA.
In other areas Russia is ahead of us.

WTF...Brainchild of Anthony's ?

Russians are looting us. This fifth generation Shit will cost us more than F-35.

Ludicrous! The F-35's project cost to date is around the $1 TRILLION mark (around a 5 fold increase in the original projected cost), the FGFA deal is estimated to cost India around $30 Billion- it isn't going to rise by 3000%+.

Time will tell my friend. First Let the Russians build a prototype of Indian FGFA.

do you think india will spend 30 billion dollars plus ?? we don't have the financial capabilities to do so my dear friend, even if the russkies ask us to do so

LOL the F 35 program is the most expensive military project in history

do you think india will spend 30 billion dollars plus ?? we don't have the financial capabilities to do so my dear friend, even if the russkies ask us to do so

The sum will be spent over a timeframe of several years. And not in one piece

No the F-35 does not cost a trillion dollars to date. Total cost to develop and produce is estimated at 398.6 billion dollars. The trillion dollars you claim is the cost to develop, produce and operate over 30 plus years. The current LRIP fly away cost per fighter is 100 million $ this is expected to reduce to 80 million $ per fighter when it is mass produced.

Do you think the fly away cost to the IAF for the PAKFA will be less than 80 million dollars?

 

[Koovie]

Do you think the fly away cost to the IAF for the PAKFA will be less than 80 million dollars?

Of course not!

Its a 5th gen fighters !

There are several 4th gen fighters that cost more than 80 million USD.

So when it is gonna fly over Punjab.

Comeon dude,,,what do u even know about pakfa to draw these conclusions??

do you think india will spend 30 billion dollars plus ?? we don't have the financial capabilities to do so my dear friend, even if the russkies ask us to do so

We will be spending 30 billion plus over next 15-20 years for this.............out of which 11 billion are just for r&d dude.

 

[he-man]

India should have just invested in F-35 instead of this dud.

Right a fighter with 3 aesas on board(front) and one rear aesa giving 360 degree aesa coverage and having plans for 2 engines both rated at approx 175 kn each sure sounds like a dud to me
