New Delhi, Sep 29 (ANI): India and Russia today agreed to extend the term of the Indo-Russian Inter-Governmental Commission for Military-Technical Cooperation (IRIGC-MTC) for another ten years — till 2020, leading to a further strengthening of ties between both countries.
...
The participants have discussed proposals related to about 200 joint projects, including the modernisation of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier (formerly the Admiral Gorshkov) for the Navy, the transfer of technology (ToT) for the licensed assembly of T-90 tanks in India, the production of BrahMos missiles and the purchase of Smerch MLRS by India.
In the defence sector both sides agreed to take defence ties beyond the buyer-seller relationship and signed an agreement that will protect classified information on both sides.
They have decided to initiate detailed discussion on the Status of Forces Agreement between the two countries and have also agreed to intensify joint programmes and prospects in the defence industry, conduct joint research and facilitate transfer of technology.
...
The two sides will also issue a joint statement spelling out a "strategic roadmap" for future cooperation between the two countries.
Of the 800 new choppers, around half will come from foreign aviation majors. The different projects are:
VVIP: The multi-million dollar deal to acquire 12 VVIP helicopters, with self-protection suites to tackle hostile missiles and other threats, has been finalised with Italian aviation major AgustaWestland for its three-engine AW-101 choppers.
Multi-Role: Navy is hunting for multi-role helicopters (MRHs), armed with cruise missiles and lightweight torpedoes for advanced anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
Though the tender has been floated for only 16 choppers as of now, Navy wants around 60 MRHs eventually. Capable of ferrying 15 soldiers and being refuelled in mid-air, each such 10-tonne helicopter will come for around Rs 110 crore.
Light Utility: India has sought bids from six foreign firms to supply 197 `light utility and observation' helicopters (LUHs), in a Rs 3,000 crore project, to service Siachen, Kargil and other high-altitude areas.
Another 187 such choppers will be manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd by 2016-2017 to fulfil overall requirement of 384 LUHs for Army (259) and IAF (125) to replace the ageing Cheetah and Chetak fleets.
Attack Helicopters: IAF has re-launched its hunt for 22 lethal attack helicopters to add to its feet of Mi-35 gunships. It wants these gunships to be highly-agile, have good armour protection and a 20mm calibre turret gun, as also be capable of firing 70mm rockets with a 1.2-km range and missiles with at least 7-km range.
Medium-Lift: IAF will induct 80 Russian Mi-17 V-5 helicopters during 2010-2014 under a $1.2 billion deal already inked in December 2008. Weaponised for combat operations, the Mi-17s will ferry troops and supplies to even high-altitude areas.
ALH: HAL is already manufacturing `Dhruv' Advanced Light Helicopters, with 168 of them to be inducted into Army and IAF by 2013-2014. Incidentally, the 145 Army ALHs came for Rs 11,237 crore, with CAG criticising the deals since the choppers have "technological gaps".
LCH: HAL is also developing the 5.5-tonne twin-engine Light Combat Helicopter. IAF has projected an initial requirement for 65 LCHs, armed with a 20mm turret twin-barrel gun, cluster bombs, rocket pods as well as missiles.
80 Mi-17 V-5 por 1200 millones de $
NIZHNY NOVGOROD (central Russia), August 13 (RIA Novosti) - Production of MiG-35 multirole fighters offered for sale to India cannot start before 2013 or 2014, a Russian aircraft maker said on Thursday.
India finalises air force deal for 80 Mi-17 transports
By Radhakrishna Rao
India has signed a long-planned agreement with Russia to equip its air force with 80 Mil Mi-17V-5 transport helicopters between 2010 and 2014. Confirmed during an early December visit to New Delhi by Russian president Dmitri Medvedev and worth around 24 billion rupees ($495 million), the deal also includes an offset obligation by Moscow totalling $405 million.
To replace part of the Indian air force's aged Mi-8 fleet, the new aircraft will be used for a variety of roles, including troop transport and air ambulance tasks, plus ferrying VIPs, and are expected to be able to land at an altitude of up to 18,000ft (5,490m). Indian government sources say they will also be weaponised for combat operations.
