The theme of Karabakh has become dominant in early April overshadowed another important event, which was held in from 28 to 31 March 2016 in Quicoli (India, Goa). It was one of the world's largest exhibition of arms DEFEXPO INDIA-2016.
Such activities can allow countries that are willing to pay huge amounts of money on arms. It is clear that in the exhibitions in Dubai or the Emirate, write around the world and recently held an exhibition in Poland are interested in the poles and a limited circle of specialists. Indians plan to spend in the near future, only for the purchase of weapons, more than $150 billion, which is the most lively and sincere interest of arms manufacturers throughout the world. By number of enterprises, first place was taken by the U.S., the author was the Russian Federation that confirms the increased interest of these countries to the Indian market. But with the Indians it is not as easy as with many other buyers. They wish to have joint production of large quantities of military equipment and weapons. It may not all go, for it means the transfer of parts of its own technology. Hindus do not hide interest in the development of new technologies and surely pad their bottom line.
For this reason, the U.S. does not have huge contracts, for prefer to put the finished product, and if it passes the technology, only allies. It is known that latest F-35 have already started to produce Italy, Israel and Japan that were originally included in consortium developers machine. At the same time, the Russian Federation, pretty actively came to this kind of cooperation, suggested a number of joint projects. In particular, they talked about the development of 5th generation aircraft, frigate, submarine, tank, several types of missiles s main battle tank.
However, this form of cooperation has become a stumbling block. In almost all projects, in addition to missiles and submarines, encountered insurmountable disagreements about technology and the list of knots and units that the Russians could not or would not convey to the Indians. First off tanks. Officially it was said that the Indian development of the tank "Arjun", it was more successful characteristics. Actually, there were a few other reasons. According to rumors, the Russians began to use components for airborne systems, manufactured in China, instead of the French, and India with China the relationship did not work. There were other reasons not related to TTC. In short, with the tanks theme is closed. Then he closed the topic with the fighter 5 generations. Moreover, it closed so tightly that the Indians no longer buy planes and 4 generations, which are usually ordered in the Russian Federation. Now the Indians boarded the French "Rafale".
And here, on this very show, was held the actual funeral of another joint project with the Russians, called Multi-role Transport Aircraft (MTA). It is about a military transport plane. In this case, the Russians again crossed the line and as always dictated the terms. Manufacturers of such equipment and on joint production almost no one is ready at all. So, in Moscow have decided to turn out the Indians, but that closed and this topic. Now the aircraft will be made with Ukraine. Moreover, the two types of aircraft. In the first case we are talking about the aircraft An-178, the other machines in the short run and turbofan engine, such as An-32. Nothing like the Russians do not know how. They are working to improve and upgrade its Il-76, giving him new names, such as the Il-476 or something like that.
They say that the topic was closed because all the basic work on the design and development of major components and assemblies, had to do the Ukrainian enterprises, and the Russians planned to integrate into the control system of its own balalaika and dolls, but would call it a proud Russian name like "Ivan the fool" or "Emelya on the stove" — it didn't happen. The Indians easily figured out the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war and realized that inspired from Multi-role Transport Aircraft, remain the balalaika and dolls. For this reason they invited the Ukrainian delegation. And there was a complete convergence of interests. The Hindus insist that electronics and other such things, were produced and supplied to their party, and elements of the airframe and powerplant, has made Ukraine. For this reason, no differences have arisen and no one is pressured. As a result, signed a production contract for 500 aircraft, which replaced a mythical airplanes, alleged that Ilyushin. Besides, easily was the signing of the contract and 300 turbofan aircraft.
In addition, under the same conditions to the signing of a contract on joint production of 30-mm automatic cannons ЗТМ1 and ЗТМ2 shell under the NATO pattern and development on the basis ЗТМ2 new modification gun with extra cooling system. A good basic gun design interested Corporation ELBIT SYSTEMS LAND and LARSEN AND TOUBRO LIMITED, who will participate in its modernization. Modified gun, except India, are going to order and Israel. This is the gun that is used in military, remote-controlled modules for our new APC.
Another news that has not gone further speculation, but nevertheless is very interesting. The fact that the Russians to fight and howl had sold the Indians the aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya", nee "Admiral Gorshkov", and "Baku". During presales, the Russians brought to mind an abandoned vessel is so "successful" that power plant was going to tell everyone to live long. The Indians were so impressed with this miracle-Yuda, which would generally refuse. But the presence of this device from the Chinese, forced to accept in the form in which it appeared.
The trick is that both of these sold aircraft carrier, was built at the shipyards in Nikolaev and makes sense of them for those who built it. The Chinese, our specialists helped to establish and run. It is believed that the first round of negotiations on Ukraine's participation in maintenance of an aircraft carrier.
In short, it was at this show, Ukrainian gunsmiths rigidly and powerfully pushed the Russians to their ancestral lands. Moreover, the reports of the Russian participants of the exhibition, almost entirely devoid of optimism. It comes to "continue consultations" or on details of existing contracts, but nothing new and great to bring the first and failed.
By the way, Ukraine is the second consecutive month, showing steady growth of industrial production by more than 4%.
