Russia to speed up delivery of military hardware
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 08, 2002 12:17:52 AM ]

NEW DELHI: Even as working groups of the Indo-Russian commission on military technical cooperation discussed different defence deals on Thursday, sources said Moscow has assured New Delhi that it will speed up the delivery of the fourth-generation Sukhoi-30MKI fighters and T-90S main-battle tanks.

Sources said India should receive the first batch of four multi-role SU-30MKI jets from Moscow by June.

"Before this year ends, the IAF will have 10 SU-30MKIs in its inventory. The two sides are also considering the initial blueprint for the joint production of a fifth-generation combat aircraft," said one.

The SU-30MKI air-superiority fighter, capable of undertaking both strike and air defence missions, is expected to form the IAF backbone for the next two decades, with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd also subsequently taking up indigenous licensed production of the jets.

While the first lot of the T-90S tanks, equipped with night-fighting capabilities and protected by "explosive reactive armour", has already arrived in India, New Delhi wants the delivery schedule to be further speeded up. Apart from the proposed leasing of the TU-22 long-range strategic bombers and nuclear submarines, the two countries are also engaged in hard bargaining over the sale of aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, as also the supply of MiG-29K fighters and anti-submarine Kamov helicopters to arm the carrier, in a package deal.

The negotiations for the 44,570-tonne decommissioned Admiral Gorshkov have attracted some criticism due to the sharp escalation in its high retrofitting costs. Reports indicate Russia is asking for $ 747 million for the refit job on the carrier, while India’s top offer is said to be $ 650 million.

India and Russia will sign a wide-ranging defence protocol on Friday. The two sides will go in for more programmes to jointly develop and produce a new generation of weapon systems. They are also in the process of finalising deals for three Amur-1650 class submarines, SMERCH multi-barrel rocket systems and Mi-17 helicopters, among others.

I think it's pretty stupid, on india's side to buy T-90s, since they alredy have t-80's, which are better than any tanks pakistan has. But it's a good deal for russia, they sell a few obsolete tanks, without having to reveal any of the T-95 secrets, so it's a quick buck
