India, Russia agree on specifications of PAK FA fighter
The contract to develop a sketch and technical project of the Russian-Indian perspective multi-functional fifth-generation fighter aircraft (PMI/FGFA) was completed. The fighter design was fully developed.
Both parties have agreed upon on the amount and division of work during the research and development (R&D) stage. A contract for the R&D is being prepared. It is to be signed this year.
The agreement on the joint development and production of the fifth-generation fighter aircraft was signed on October 18, 2007, in Moscow at the Seventh Session of the joint Russian-Indian Intergovernmental Commission on Military and Technical Cooperation. It is the largest joint project of the Russian-Indian military and technical cooperation.
In December 2010, Rosoboronexport, Sukhoi Company and the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited signed a contract to develop a sketch and technical project of the fighter. In the course of the first stage of the project the Russian side has trained Indian professionals, provided them with the original data and the software to create a single working environment.
The Indian working group of experts has been working in Russia since January 2012 and a group of Russian specialists in India. Both parties exchange the necessary information.
The PMI/FGFA fighter developed by the parties will have some differences from the Russian prototype due to specific requirements of the Indian Air Force.
Sukhoi Company is currently involved in other Russian-Indian joint programmes, such as modernisation of the Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighters and adaptation of the Russian-Indian air-to-ground BrahMos cruise missile to the Su-30MKI.
