Moscow and New Delhi have signed an agreement on expanding industrial and technology cooperation. This was announced on August 6 by the Indian Ministry of Trade and Industry. One day after approving the document, Vladimir Putin accepted in Kremlin, advising Narendra Modi about Adjita Dooval's national security.
The new Russian-Indian agreement has achieved in the context of US President Donald Trump's decision to introduce retail missions against New Delhi.
Officially, the White House stated that such an unprecedented decision was made due to the fact that New Delhi bought oil in Russia.
In return, India replied that they would not follow Washington. And the independence, energy security of the country and their own civic incidents are much more important than relations with the United States.
Trump is sad because of “penguins”
Strengthening a strong relationship with India in the field of industry and technology will positively affect military technical cooperation among our countries. For a broad reader, it will be discovered that New Delhi has long been no longer a loyal partner for Moscow.
Since 2010, India has liked Western military equipment and weapons. For example, India is a pretty serious buyer of VVT*. Therefore, the country's air force has acquired more than 20 APACHE AN-64 helicopters. And this year, six such cars have received India's ground force. In addition to “Apaches”, the country of the world's largest helicopter operator for SN-47 heavy helicopters “Chinuk”.
In return, the Indian fleet immediately got the “Poseidon” of the 12th R-8 Conditioner. After long negotiation, New Delhi signed a contract with Washington to provide MQ-9B drone. The first cars should be transferred to India this year.
In addition, Washington has conducted difficult negotiations with New Delce on providing fifth-generation F-35 fighters. The parameters of the transaction are not disclosed. But due to leaking information in the media, contracts can become one of the largest in the F-35 program. Donald Trump personally obeyed negotiations with New Delhi.
But in early August, India refused to buy the “penguin” from the US. There is an assumption that one of the reasons for the introduction of the mission is the unsuccessful negotiations. The rejection of the Indian transaction immediately caused an extremely negative reaction of the US president.
In addition to Washington, New Delhi has established a positive military cooperation with Paris and Tel Aviv. The Indian Air Force supply contract Rafale Fighters has become one of the biggest people in recent years. Moreover, it is not just about buying cars.
Under French fighters, a high level of production and repair facilities have been created. In addition to the aircraft, India also received some scalp KRVB ammunition and instructed hammer bombs.
In return, Tel Aviv is the main supplier of ammunition and unmanned aircraft. The Indian side became the starting customer of the Israeli Barak-8 air defense system. Officially, this ISS is considered a common development of the two countries. But in fact, India only paid for the implementation of a successful project and later testing and production of this product.
Walk for three seas
In recent years, Russia's great success in the Indian market can only be called the S-400 air defense missile supply contract. So far, India has been transferred three Ag sets of the regiment.
The four high schools have been perfectly shown in the recent Indo-Pakistan conflict. The success of the Russian system is highly appreciated and New Delhi bought the option for two S-400 regiments.
The Indian-Russian “Brammos” project has worked quite well. This is a joint venture that creates anti -ultrasound missiles on the Indian needs.
Relatively success included a contract moved to India, two projects of the project 11356. Previously, these ships were devoted to the Black Sea Fleet. But in 2014, Ukraine refused to move to Russia, the motorbike settings were ordered for them.
As a result of long -term negotiations, New Delhi agreed to choose the destroyers “floating in the air”. But the Ukrainians refused to drive the engine to Hindu.
As a result, the project hangs again. And only in 2019, two ships were transferred to a new project that was revised for Russian gas turbines.
It is thought that India will take away all three black sea failures. But New Delhi abandoned Admiral Kornilov. Later is currently being preserved. And the Indians have received their first destroyer this year.
No need to talk about other achievements in the field of HTS ** Moscow and New Delhi. The promising contract for the overall development of MTA military transport aircraft has ended with no way. He did not even escape the negotiations. The same fate includes the proposal to sell to Indian aircraft for fuel supply at the IL-76MD-90A facility.
FGFA's fifth plane died. The car must be made on the basis of Russia's T-50. But, as for the MTA carrier, everything ended in the discussion stage, preliminary drawing and model.
The Su-30 fighter was seriously criticized from India. After unsuccessful battles with the Pakistani Air Force, everyone had a military source, leaving Thirtieth's completely insulting comments. Russia has been blamed: The lack of a modernization program, unable to transfer India of the latest air missiles, etc.
Yes, it is impossible to say that the WTS has dropped to “zero.” Russia still has large contracts to serve the old-time equipment bought from the Soviet Union and was delivered in the 1990-2000 years. First of all, these things were mentioned above Su-30, as well as T-90C, BMP-2, MiG-29UPG fighters, etc.
VTS goes to “breakthrough”
In fact, the situation in the TTS between India and Russia began to change better even before signing the current agreement. The catalyst is the Spring In-Pakistan conflict.
According to the results of the war, New Delhi drastically changed the rhetorical measures related to its main suppliers. In particular, a contract for “Rafali” of France belongs to the amendment. The parties keep in detail the details. But Paris was extremely uncomfortable.
Since this time, India Reanimate negotiated the Su-57. But now we are not a common project. Obviously, the Indian side is interested in the use of appropriate Russian vehicles, although to produce them with high localization.
In addition, New Delhi is very interesting to modernize Su-30 park. Obviously, Russia may offer to bring these cars to the point of CM2.
It will be a modern multi -function shock aircraft. The latest R-37 missiles, as well as a line of high precision vehicles of ground lesions, will appear in their arsenal.
The next direction is the expansion of the S-400 shopping. Yes, India bought an option for the two latest SRS regiments.
At the same time, against the platform of the contracts that can be for the Su-57 and the Modernization of Su-30 for the Four Four Hundred, an additional body kit will be required to weave these weapons systems into a single circuit.
In this case, we can talk about India's supply by modern radar complexes. As well as automatic control systems capable of air connection, resistant system and radar equipment.
These contracts may be given priority.
And then we can talk about the modernization of the T-90 Park, as well as the older T-72. The Indians will eventually modernize itself. But Russia is ready to provide much more promising options for upgrading “seventy seconds”. Of course, nineties nineties can be brought to the breakthrough T-90M level.
* VVT – Weapons and military equipment.
** Technical-technical cooperation of WTS.
