러시아 대사가 인도와 제 5세대 전투기(PAK-FA)를 공동개발하기로 했다고 언급했습니다. 러시아는 양국간에 디자인, 생산과 마케팅에 동의했다고 밝혔네요. 이런 기사 나오고 그 다음날 아직 협의중이라는 뉴스가 나오는 경우가 많으므로 지켜봐야 겠지만 일단 가능성은 매우 높은 뉴스입니다. 인도에서 사용되는 무기의 70%가 러시아제이고, 이미 브라모스 미사일을 비롯한 각종 무기개발에도 협력하고 있습니다. 12월달에는 5억 달러 규모의 지대지 로켓 시스템(?) 개발에도 합의했다고 합니다. 몇일전 인도의 MIG-29 업그레이드에도 사인했었는데, 126대 전투기 구매계획은 어떻게 진행될지 자못 궁금해지네요.

The Russian envoy said the two countries had reached an agreement for designing, producing and marketing of the interceptor-fighter jet. 'It is a brilliant example of international cooperation. Starting from design, it is something new,' Trubnikov was quoted by the Hindu newspaper as saying. 'It goes beyond the relationship of a buyer and seller, it is a mutual effort everywhere.' Local media has reported that the Indian Air Force has been talking with Russian firms such as MiG and Sukhoi Holdings for the production of such aircraft. Since the 1990s, fighter aircrafts have been categorized in various 'generations' with the latest designs representing the 'fifth generation.' India and Russia are also considering jointly developing multi-purpose transport aircraft. Russia, which supplies over 70 per cent of the military hardware used by the Indian defence forces, has been collaborating with New Delhi for the manufacture of defence equipment and weapons systems in recent years. The two countries jointly developed the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, which can achieve speeds of up to 2.8 Mach, or nearly three times the speed of sound. In December, India and Russia signed a pact to jointly develop the next generation of weapons systems. In the same month, India signed a 500-million-dollar deal with Russia for Smerch long-range surface-to-surface multiple rocket systems
