Data Figure: Russian MiG-35 fighters

Global Network reporter Tangen Hao April 29 reported that India’s military modernization is to accelerate the global large-scale procurement of weapons and equipment, valued at more than 126 multi-billion dollar aircraft procurement program has attracted the world’s major arms competition. And most surprisingly, the Russian MiG-35 and U.S. F-16, F/A-18 together be eliminated. Russian experts suggest that Russia MiG-35 sold to Pakistan, the Indian Air Force’s decision to make corrections.

According to the Russian Interfax news on April 28, for the procurement of MiG-35 fighters in India refuse to issue, Russia’s strategic and technical analysis, deputy director of Constantine ? Makiyenko said: “Russia should Indian Air Force to bear the consequences of his decision in Moscow traditionally exercise restraint arms sales to Pakistan, and India refused to buy the MiG-35 in the new situation, should re-examine the policy. “He believes that the Pakistan Air Force may China and the purchase of U.S. fighters and also to buy the MiG-35.

Makiyenko also said that the Indian Air Force MiG-35 procurement in bid to win the big one had not much opportunity, especially in India to join Russia after the fifth-generation fighter development program. He explained that Russia has taken control of the Indian heavy fighter market, signed and a partial fulfillment of 230 Su-30MKI fighter export contracts, and the final number may increase to 270 or even 310. In addition, in the last 10-15 years, Russian-made MiG-29K will be the main and the only Indian Navy aircraft carrier landing levels. Thus, in the medium-term outlook on India’s MiG company left the market space is narrow, it is the production has a significant upgrade and improve the potential of MiG-29K.

Makiyenko in the interview also pointed out that the international tender for the Indian Air Force multi-role fighter the most unexpected result of the first stage, the United States two fighters – F-16 and F/A-18 also be eliminated out, because they had been considered the most likely to win the bid. He said: “U.S. warplanes despite superior performance, but failed to enter the final bidding stage. The most likely reason is that political motives, that India was too worried about the combat system is dependent on the U.S. Another reason may be that U.S. technology in India transfer of discontent. “
