DO you know anything new about the research projects between India and Russia?

I also heard that there were plans to manufacture jets with combine efforts between India and Russia?

Can somebody tell me the latest news pretaining to these 2 topics????

I heard Sukhoi jets are going to get manufactured in India now. This is the recent news. I think they are going to be operational by 2004. Another news I heard was India leasing some submarines from Russia. I think that deal was off for some years b'cos of US putting some restrictions. But now its cleared I think.

But is there any word on that new jet fighter Russian and India are building together right now to counter our new aircraft: F22 Raptor?

I didnt hear about that since long time.

Do you mean the company is being moved to India or the Indians are just obtaining the license to manufacture it in india.....

They got the license to manufacture.

5 Indian Research Centres to Be Set up in Russia

RIA-Novosti - At a meeting between India's Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and indologists and representatives of Russian society in St. Petersburg on Monday, the initiative of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre and the Indian embassy in Russia to set up five Indian research centres in Russia was approved.

The Indian ambassador to Russia and rectors of five Russian higher education establishments, where the centres are to be created (St. Petersburg, Kazan and Far Eastern state universities as well as two Moscow institutes), exchanged memoranda on mutual understanding in setting up those centres.

The centres will engage in teaching history, culture and politics of India, develop special programmes for teaching students and hold scientific and practical conferences.

WHAT IS WITH THESE RESEARCH CENTERS.....IS IT OPEN YET???
