Pakistan is also interested in t-90. They should also gave them a kilo and a corvette for half-price as an investment so that pakistan will need to use more russian things in all branches of its militar and end up buying much more russian hardware.

In Russia proposed to punish India for the su-57

Russia in response to India's refusal from participation in the program FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft) should do more to offer Pakistan the su-35, said "Military standards" Deputy Director of the Russian center for analysis of strategies and technologies, Konstantin Makienko.

"Our suppliers still afraid to offend the Indians. But in vain! I think that on the background of oscillations of India regarding the project of the fighter of the 5th generation should actively promote in Pakistan our su-35. Otherwise, in 5-7 years the market will be busy with Chinese, South Korean or even Turkish machinery", — said the expert.

The expert believes that "Russia should abandon self-restraint, in cooperation with Pakistan" because "India's behavior was removed from Russia any moral obligations." "Previously, in the interests of the Indian partner, we are often refused contracts with Pakistan. Now only the commercial benefit!" — said Makienko.

A joint project of Russia and India FGFA assumes creation on the basis of the su-57 India's first fifth generation fighter. In April it became known that India withdrew from the program. Russia considered the partnership with India to build aircraft as the primary source of funding for serial production of su-57.

In July, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that Russia sees no sense "to speed up the work for the mass production of fifth generation aircraft".

Since 1947, India and Pakistan are in a standoff over the conflict over the ownership of the region of Kashmir.

Is this one of those Western funded ThinkTanks i hear about?

Why, then, did New Delhi settle for the AK-203 in 7.62х39? There are few military reasons to opt for the smaller 7.62x39 casing, as 7.62x51 rounds will generally travel faster and farther under similar circumstances.

A majority share gives the Indian government access to Kalashnikov’s considerable supply chain and technical expertise, while still retaining long-term political decision-making power over the course of the project.

I think India moved out of the PAK-FA project because

(a) they could not pay the money and
(b) with China placing S 400 on their western borders the PAK-FA will not stand a chance

I doubt that. It's essentially a very poor country. Even Sub Saharan Africa, Afghanistan has a higher per capita income compared to India. India has the largest number of poor people in the world.

More like they seem to want the best toys, but are not prepared to pay what it costs to develop them.

What ???? S-400 was designed to engage stealth aircraft. Why do you think PAK-FA has a better chance against S-400 ? Plus China's extensive satellite network would in any case pick up an Indian PAK-FA the moment it takes of.

India to Lay Keels of Both Project 11356 Frigates in 2020

In 2020, Indian Goa Shipyard Limited will lay down two Project 11356 Burevestnik-class frigates for the national navy, the company’s official Mahesh Malkarnekar told Mil.Press Today at the Army-2019 forum.

He added that the keels would be laid one by one, roughly half a year apart.

According to Malkarnekar, all four ships of this type will be powered by gas turbine engines produced by Ukrainian company Zorya-Mashproject.

"We’re actively cooperating with Yantar Shipyard, their experts help our shipbuilders in construction of frigates", said the interviewee. He called building of these ships the largest project in the shipyard’s history.

Previously, dates of the keel-laying were not officially declared, however, it is known that India plans to spend four years on building one Burevestnik-class frigate.

In the falls of 2018, Moscow and New Delhi signed a suite of contracts, including delivery and building in India of the Russian Project 11356 frigates. Although parameters of the contracts were not disclosed, delivery of the two ready-made ships will allegedly cost the customer USD 950 mln.

For the first pair of ships, it was decided to use hulls of Project 11356 frigates initially meant for the Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. The question is Admiral Butakov and Admiral Istomin frigates, being at different completeness levels at Yantar Shipyard. Other two ships will be constructed in India under the technology transfer agreement.
