Rosoboronexport has promised to deal with Chinese copies of the Su-27
20/08/2009

Russia is taking measures to combat counterfeiting on the global arms market and, in particular, is proceeding on the copy of the Su-27 China. This, according to RIA Novosti, said on Aug. 19 at the MAKS-2009 the general director of Rosoboronexport, Anatoly Isaikin.

"The fact that the Chinese side apparently copied the Su-27 - is what to say Russia's side. Maybe it's a fact. ... This property is a complex technology - when the" appearance "may be one, and filling - the other. We have to understand many months and even years, whether it's an exact copy (Su-27), filling may be another ", - said Isaikin. He also clarified that at present are lengthy proceedings in this matter involving Sukhoi other organizations.

It clarifies the Interfax news agency, letter of intent in every way to oppose unlicensed production abroad, Russia's technology and weapons announced today general director of the state corporation Rostekhnologii Chemezov. According to him, this is already done for manufactured abroad Kalashnikov, counterfeit aircraft units and equipment.

"We together with the Prosecutor's Office, Bureau of Investigation will fight with companies that offer such counterfeit products both domestically and abroad", - stressed Chemezov.

Recall that the establishment of the Chinese own a copy of one of the most massive Russia Su-27 became known in early 2008. In 1995, Beijing, Moscow has sold a license to produce 200 Su-27SK, which planned to be built under the name J-11 with Russia's components. Until 2003, China bought from Russia 95 kits for them, but from the remaining 105 declined.

Experts believe that the Chinese will own a full analogue of the Su-27 only in 2013, but China's defense industry to cope with this problem much earlier. Rosoboronexport comment about copying the Chinese Su-27 at the time refused.

Note that this is not the only fact of China copying combat equipment and weapons.

Russia, China draft Kalashnikov copyright deal

RIA Novosti

23:12 22/10/2009 KLIMOVSK, October 22 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is working to reach an agreement with China on copyright protection of Kalashnikov assault rifles, the head of Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said Thursday.

"We have received China's national patent for Kalashnikov products. The documents have been handed to the Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation to prepare and conclude an intergovernmental agreement in the field," Anatoly Isaikin told journalists.

Isaikin said the process of reaching a deal with China will be lengthy, but that Russia hopes it will be finished soon, and noted the huge number of unlicensed Kalashnikov rifles produced all over the world.

"There are about 100 million Kalashnikov assault rifles worldwide, of which half are counterfeit, i.e. produced without licenses, patents and intergovernmental agreements," he said.

Isaikin said over 15 countries, including Bulgaria, Romania, Egypt, and China, produce the rifles either on expired licenses or without them.

"Even America produces the assault rifles, even though the country has never received a license for their manufacture," he said.

Isaikin said there are at least 30 organizations illegally producing and trafficking the weapons, whose activities are very difficult to prevent.

The best-known Kalashnikov rifle is the 1947 model known as the AK-47. It is the most widely produced used assault rifle in the world, and is used by both regular armies and militant groups.

The creator of the AK-47, Mikhail Kalashnikov, is 89 years old and lives in Izhevsk.

Russia delivers 15 S-300 air-defense batteries to China

RIA Novosti

02/04/201015:05

MOSCOW, April 2 (RIA Novosti) - Russia has delivered a total of 15 batteries of S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to China, the manufacturer said on Friday.

Igor Ashurbeili, general director of the Almaz-Antei concern, said it had thus completed the contract with China but gave no indication of how much it was worth or specifically how many S-300s had been delivered.

An S-300 battery is typically comprised of four truck-mounted installations, each consisting of four missiles.

He added that there was a "huge line" of foreign clients waiting to buy S-300s and a more advanced version, the S-400, but that no new contracts would be signed for the time being.

"First we have to arm the Russian military. If there are available production capacities and we fulfill our current contracts, then this process [the signing of new contracts] will resume," he said.

Ashurbeili added that the "available capacities situation" would not become clear until after the Defense Ministry adopted a state arms procurement program through 2020.

He offered no indication of when that could be. Nor was it clear whether Russia was behind on its current contracts.

The advanced version of the S-300 missile system, called S-300PMU1 (SA-20 Gargoyle), has a range of over 150 kilometers (over 100 miles) and can intercept ballistic missiles and aircraft at low and high altitudes, making the system an effective tool for warding off possible airstrikes.

First deployed by the Soviet Union in 1979, it is still considered to be one of the most potent antiaircraft missile systems currently available.

It can simultaneously track up to 100 targets and engage up to 12.

Pogosyan to limit the supply of RD- 93 in China is fully justified


TSAMTO , July 5. The position of vice president for program coordination and combat aircraft KLA, Director General of Sukhoi and MiG , " Mikhail Pogosyan restrictive measures to tighten Russia 's delivery of RD -93 in China is fully justified , since their re-export to third countries, reduces the market MiG -29 .

According to " Kommersant ", in letters sent to FSMTC and Rosoboronexport , M. Pogosyan noted that the re-export of these engines has to be agreed with the producers of final products that would not prejudice " . In Rosoboronexport, in turn , noted that " such an order to negotiate such contracts with the producers of final products, in this case the aircraft does not exist. "

According to Kommersant , the reason that M. Pogosyan made against another impending deal with China on the RD-93 was the clash of interests between Russia and China on the Egyptian market ( RD -93 used in the Chinese FC-1 fighters and their export options ).

Permission for re-export to Egypt, the RD -93 in the FC-1 was issued FSMTC in November 2007 . The engine can also be staged in Nigeria, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia and Algeria. Re-export is carried out in accordance with the Government's decision . Therefore, the question of limiting re Russian engines should also be taken at the level of the Russian government.

The possibility of re- RD -93 to a third country in its time was considered a very long time. The main opponent of that decision, then acted Russian Defense Ministry.

The first contract to supply China 100 RD -93 in the amount of 237 million dollars was signed in 2005. Signed at the same time the framework agreement provides for the delivery of 500 RD - 93. China also said the possibility of purchasing up to 1000 upgraded the RD-93 engines with increased thrust . In this case, the overall program delivery RD-93 to China could make 3.75 billion dollars .

To date, the second contract to supply China's regular 100 RD -93 has not been signed , reports Reuters , citing sources in the defense industry .

It is obvious that the negotiations for this contract seriously progressed , forcing M. Pogosyan oppose this deal.

According to TSAMTO , Russia for several years has been negotiating with Egypt for the supply of up to 40 MiG-29 SMT . The contract to be signed by the scheme trade in ( the new machines in exchange for the old MiG-21 , raised in Egypt more than 35 years ago ).

Along with the negotiations with Russia and China, the Egyptian government has also initiated negotiations with Pakistan on the joint production of Chinese JF-17 (FC- 1) . Reassemble planned in Egypt. The volume of purchases may amount to no less than 48 JF- 17 " Thunder " . No concrete agreements have been reached and the timing of signing the contract talk premature.

The main reason for the success of the Chinese fighter in third camp is the price factor and relatively acceptable performance characteristics . Yielding to the MiG- 29 on their performance characteristics , the Chinese fighter jet is significantly cheaper .

The aircraft is equipped with a turbojet JF-17/FC-1 RD - 93. Prototype of JF-17 made its first flight in August 2003 . It is also envisaged the creation of two-seat training version of the combat fighter . Cost of JF-17 is estimated at 10-12 million dollars .

The pilot batch of four turbojet RD -93 was produced in China in 2002-2003. for flight tests on three experimental aircraft FC- 1.

Negotiations to conclude a contract for the delivery of the first consignment of engines were a very long time . China as the first phase proposes to supply 15 engines for a full set of flight tests . Russia, for its part, insisted on the delivery of the first phase of the 100 engines . As a result, the proposal of the Russian side was taken.

"Chinese " version of the RD -93 is a deep modernization of the Russian RD-33 turbojet for the MiG -29 has a lower location of the box units, provides traction and velocity of 8300 kg to 2000 km / h at altitude 16.5 km.

RD-93 turbojet developed by KB Plant them . Klimov .

During the negotiations to conclude a framework contract plant them. Klimov expressed willingness to improve engine RD - 93 for FC-1 fighter . As a result of its attraction can increase by almost 10%, and more manoeuvrable aircraft will provide the installation with diverging nozzle thrust vector. China , for its part, expressed the then intention to continue cooperation on the RD- 93, as interested in increasing the traction motor and install it vserakursny nozzle with diverging thrust vector.

Modernization of the RD- 93, providing for increasing traction with 8.3 to 9 mc , and installation of the nozzle with diverging thrust vector will significantly increase the performance of the FC- 1 and its combat effectiveness .

China has long been on the market for military aircraft of Egypt.

In December 1999, the Egyptian Ministry of Defense signed a five-year contract with China worth 345 million dollars on the production of 80 UBS K-8E « Karakorum "for the Egyptian Air Force . The first ten cars were built in China . Build the next two games out of 15 and 10 aircraft , respectively , was implemented at the facilities of the Egyptian company AOI from components of small and medium sizes. The remaining 45 cars were manufactured by 90 % in Egypt . In early 2005, Egypt has placed an additional order for another 40 aircraft K-8E. Thus, the total volume of the Egyptian order of 120 machines. Turbofan Engines TFE731-2A-2A for Egyptian K-8E put the U.S. company Allied Signal .

Perhaps they should considered stoping AL-31F supply as well.

It has more to do with FC-1 taking away MiG-29s market share. China has proven they are incapable of reverse engineering our engines, they already have RD-93s to look at so that is not the concern. If countries buy a bunch of FC-1, they won't need MiG-29 even though it is a 4th gen compared to a 3rd gen. FC-1 fills a low end nitch that we don't want China to fill, we want countries to buy a better medium nitch with the MiG-29. It is true we sell a down-rated engine to China, for good reason that we don't want them to see our latest design. We sold RD-93 to China so they could resell to Pakistan, that way we sell to a market we have closed off to ourselves to keep our Indian partners happy. It is a way for our engines to penetrate already established markets we don't really have access to through China as a mediator. We do not want China selling FC-1 to our client states cutting into our markets so the decision to limit sales is wise.

Negotiations to resume exports to China Russian armored vehicles

Moscow. October 28. Interfax-AVN - Military-Industrial Company expects to resume shipments to China armored vehicles "Tiger", told Interfax-AVN on Thursday, a spokesman Sergei Suvorov.

"We have set in China about 50 cars of the" Tiger "in the form of SPM-1, that is, the base modification. At present, negotiations are underway with the Chinese side on the resumption of supplies of" Tigers "- said Sergey Suvorov.

According to him, in negotiations with the Chinese side has not yet discussed the possibility of production of "Tigers" in China under license.

Previously reported that the PRC was delivered 10 machines, sets of which were supposed to meet "Tigers" in China directly at one of Beijing Motor Company.

SA Suvorov, said that at the Arzamas machine-building plant, which is part of the military-industrial company, provide a special pipeline to build cars "Tiger". In 2008, running second conveyor.

Russia ready to sell Su-35 fighter jets to China

Russia's state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport said on Tuesday it was ready to hold talks with China on the delivery of advanced Su-35 fighter aircraft to the Chinese air force.

"We are ready to work with our Chinese partners to this end [Su-35 deliveries]," Deputy General Director of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheyev said at the Airshow China 2010, which is being held on November 16-21 in Zhuhai.

The Su-35 Flanker-E, powered by two 117S engines with thrust vectoring, combines high maneuverability and the capability to effectively engage several air targets simultaneously using both guided and unguided missiles and weapon systems.

Russia's Sukhoi aircraft maker earlier said it planned to start deliveries of the new aircraft, billed as "4++ generation using fifth-generation technology," to foreign clients in 2011 and produce Su-35s over a period of 10 years up to 2020.

China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China) is the only international aerospace trade show in China that is endorsed by the Chinese central government. The biannual arms exhibition has been held in Zhuhai since 1996.

ZHUHAI (China), November 16 (RIA Novosti)

That sale was expected long before China even showed some interest in it. It simply holds to much technologies China will not be able to reach soon.

China wants to buy S-400, 117S

China made a bid for the purchase of Russian aircraft engines such as 117C and the newest anti-aircraft missile system S-400 wrote on Tuesday, Vedomosti, citing defense ministry officials and a source close to the management of Rosoboronexport.

After the visit of Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov in China, held two weeks ago, a new package of proposals to the Chinese military-technical cooperation. According to the interlocutors of the newspaper, the Chinese side has made an application for purchase of aircraft engines such as 117C (modernized version of the AL-31F engine, intended for passing the test of Su-35) and advanced anti-aircraft missile system S-400. Another type of technology who are interested in Chinese, became a military transport aircraft Il-476.

Sources of the publication also reported that the issue of engines 117S Russian side is ready to meet China. According to them, the export of advanced S-400 is possible after 2017, because the industry has sufficient production capacity, and the first such systems to be equipped with the Russian Armed Forces.

From this year the state through loans of state banks and state guarantees funding the construction of three new plants Concern PVO Almaz-Antey "- a new production of the Obukhov factory in St. Petersburg, new industries based on Mashzavod Nizhny Novgorod in Nizhny Novgorod and plant Avitek" in Kirov. If these plans are implemented earlier, the application of China can be considered until 2017, the official said the Defense Ministry. But sales of the IL-476, according to him, more than real - in 2011, will build a prototype of this aircraft, the beginning of its production is possible through three or four years, while China is regarded as one of the first customers.

On Tuesday in Beijing has passed 15 session of the Russian-Chinese intergovernmental commission on military-technical cooperation, which was attended by Minister of Defense. Serdyukov, together with the Deputy Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the PRC, General-Colonel Goh Bosyunom signed a protocol that defines the future direction of development of relations between the two countries in military-technical sphere. First of all, is the realization of contracts for the supply of spare parts for air defense systems, aircraft and naval equipment, as well as the development of military products for the Chinese side in the development work.

As I said, China has no option but to turn for Russian arms market once again but now under different prices and time lines cozz its R&D is slower than those of other countries.

Su-35BM will be bought, S-400 too.

If they are still hunting for Russian engines, the WS-10A must not be going very well at all.

S-400....India surely will bark

China can ask for it all they want to. Unless they buy big enough orders to make up for the eventual IP theft they will commit, no sale will be made.

If Russia needs sales to keep their companies alive, they will make them. It all depends on how good the other markets are whether they can afford not to keep China.

I just hope that even of Russia sells Su-35 and S-400 to China they make it almost impossible for them to reverse engineer it technically plus sign IP agreements with Russia that makes it legally binding for them to protect each others IP , much like they did with India.

I do not think India has the right to complain if China buys advanced stuff from Russia as India buys equally advanced stuff from US , French which ever best suits them.

GarryB wrote:I want to buy S-400 and Su-35S... will you take a cheque?

What you want and what you can have of often very different.

Most of the real high tech stuff you can't simply copy it by taking it to bits.

Otherwise PS-90A engines that have American components wouldn't have American components any more.

The solution for Russia is to buy the technology to make the components they can't currently make and therefore they will part own the manufacturing process to make them.

Where did they copy the anti ballistic missile and anti ship ballistic missile? They are far more advanced than SAMs.
