Raytheon receives contract to supply AMRAAM missiles to Ukraine
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/01/2023 - 07:50 in Military, War Zones
The Pentagon announced a $192 million contract awarded to Raytheon for the production of advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM) for Ukraine.
This contract includes Raytheon's acquisition of AMRAAM weapons from various sources, as stated today in an official Pentagon statement.
The work is expected to be completed by November 29, 2024. However, the specific number of missiles and delivery dates are not specified in the announcement.
Tumblr media
The funding for this contract comes from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
The AMRAAM is a medium-range guided air-to-air missile for any weather, capable of reaching targets at distances of up to 180 km. It is compatible with the F-16 fighters that Ukraine is expected to receive within a few months.
In June, Raytheon received $1.15 billion to produce the next batch of AIM-120 D-3 and C-8 AMRAAM missiles for international allies and partners, including Ukraine.

Anil Ambani's Reliance Makes India Soar with Falcon Jet Production
Tumblr media
Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group is taking its defense ambitions to new heights with its Nagpur facility. Beyond the well-known Rafale fighter jets, they’re now venturing into the lucrative world of business jets with the iconic Falcon brand.
Falcon Ascends in India:
Think billionaires and luxury travel — think Falcon jets. These business jets are renowned for their comfort and range, and Reliance, in partnership with French giants Dassault Aviation, is now poised to manufacture them in India. Their state-of-the-art Nagpur facility, operational since 2018, already produces components for Rafale jets and Falcon 2000s.
Taking Flight in 2025:
The exciting news is that by early 2025, the first fully-fledged Falcon 2000 LXS jet will roll out of the Nagpur unit. This marks a significant milestone for India, propelling it into the elite group of business jet manufacturers.
Investing in the Future:
Both Reliance and Dassault are heavily invested in expanding the Nagpur facility. Two new hangars are under construction, aiming for an initial production capacity of 18 jets per year, with the potential to scale up to 22. The first deliveries will cater to the French Defence Ministry’s order of 9 aircraft.
Wider Wings for India:
This venture has far-reaching implications. It will create jobs, boost technology transfer, and reduce dependence on imports. Furthermore, Falcon jets are popular among Indian charter operators due to their spacious cabins and long range, making them ideal for connecting remote destinations.
Beyond Falcon:
Reliance’s defense ambitions extend beyond just jets. Under its flagship Reliance Infrastructure Limited, they are also involved in power distribution through BSES, toll road construction, and various engineering projects.
This foray into business jet production showcases Anil Ambani’s growing influence in the defense sector and signifies India’s aspirations to become a global aerospace player. With Falcon taking flight in Nagpur, the sky’s the limit for Indian innovation and ambition.

VIDEO: Russia receives another batch of Su-35S fighters
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 07/13/2023 - 19:50m In Military
The Russian Ministry of Defense recently received an additional batch of new Su-35S aircraft that were manufactured at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant, the second batch this year.
Judging by the video released today by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), the Aerospace Forces received two Su-35S fighters, and the photos of the corporation indicate that the transfer took place on June 30.
Tumblr media
"The Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant produces aviation equipment under the state defense order within the terms stipulated by the contracts, including before the delivery schedules, ensuring the needs of the Russian Aerospace Forces in modern aviation complexes," said Yuri Slyusar, General Director of the UAC conglomerate.
youtube
“The 4++ Su-35S generation multifunctional fighters underwent a cycle of ground and flight tests in various modes of operation and flew from the KnAAZ airfield to the service site,” UAC said.
Previously, at the end of June, KnAAZ delivered other Su-35S fighters to the Aerospace Forces. The number of aircraft was also not specified.
Tumblr media
“We will continue to fulfill our obligations under the contracts concluded. The Su-35 aircraft of the next batches are in production. In addition, this year, the volume of supplies of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces will increase,” said Yuri Slyusar.
On June 10, the first deputy general director of the Rostec State Corporation, Vladimir Artyakov, said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel that the aviation factories in Irkutsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Novosibirsk doubled the production of Su-30SM and Su-35S fighters, as well as Su-34 frontline bombers.

Modi govt's Rafale fighter jet deal 2.86% cheaper than UPA's: CAG report
Tumblr media
Economy & Policy:
The Narendra Modi government’s agreement with France to buy 36 Dassault Rafale combat aircraft was 2.86 per cent cheaper than the price negotiated by the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in its aborted attempt to buy 126 of these planes, according to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s report tabled in Parliament .
Beyond that headline number, the report gave enough talking points to both the government and opposition parties to validate their respective positions.
While the report on capital acquisitions of the Indian Air Force came down heavily on the original 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal, it also raised concern that Dassault or France did not offer any company or a sovereign guarantee for the latest government-to-government deal. And, that this will lead to savings for the French company and limit India’s legal remedies in a breach of contract.
The report drew sharp political responses. “It cannot be that the Supreme Court is wrong, the CAG is wrong and only the dynast is right... Satyameva Jayate – the truth shall prevail. The CAG report on Rafale reaffirms the dictum,” Union minister Arun Jaitley tweeted. “The lies of Mahajhootbandhan stand exposed by the CAG report. How does democracy punish those who consistently lied to the nation?”
Congress President Rahul Gandhi said the CAG report did not mention the dissent note by negotiators, and that the government's argument on price and faster delivery of the Rafale had been demolished. The report states the Rafale jets would be delivered only one month faster than they would have if the original deal went through. “You say there was no scam, then why are you afraid of ordering a JPC?” he said, reiterating his demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee to look into the deal.

Indian envoy to France Jawed Ashraf attends Paris InfraWeek
Tumblr media
Oct 04, 2022 01:16 IST Paris , October 4 (Always First): Indian Ambassador to France Jawed Ashraf attended the Paris InfraWeek inaugural, where he highlighted New Delhi's scale of infrastructure, digitalization and logistics support growth. The event was attended by various dignitaries on Monday. "India Country of Honour @Paris Infra Week. With Minister of Economy & Finance @BrunoLeMaire & ADP Chairman @Romanet. I spoke how India's scale of infrastructure, digitalization n logistics support growth, inclusion, sustainability, sovereignty, strategic autonomy n resilience," the Ambassador tweeted. Notably, India and France have always had traditionally close and friendly relations. In 1998, the two countries entered into a Strategic Partnership which is emblematic of their convergence of views on a range of international issues apart from a close and growing bilateral relationship. The two countries have a burgeoning economic relationship. French businesses and industry have forged linkages with the Indian economy and contribute significantly to our goal to become an Atmanirbhar Bharat. There are over 1000 French businesses in India in variegated sectors such as defence, ITES, consulting, engineering services, heavy industry et al. France is the 7th largest foreign investor in India with a cumulative FDI stock of USD 9 billion from April 2, 2000, to December 2020, which represents 2 per cent of the total FDI inflows into India. Moreover, during the second wave of COVID-19 in India, France also supported India with a massive solidarity mission launched at the request of the President of the French Republic. The operation was implemented by the Embassy of France in India led along with IFCCI and Team France. During this mission, 55 crores (6.1 million euros) were raised from 55 French and Indian groups for donating 29 state-of-the-art French-made oxygen-generating plants to Indian hospitals across the country. France is also a fast-growing Indian partner in defence cooperation and the two countries share a strong strategic and defence partnership. As seen in the timely delivery of the Rafale despite the pandemic, the two sides enjoy synergy in the field of defence. In February 2022, India received the eighth batch of three Rafale fighter aircraft from France. (Always First) Read the full article

Why Doesn’t America Believe in Indonesia’s Right to Choose Its Security Partners? "Threatening any Client for a Major Russian Weapons Package with Economic Warfare"
Indonesia’s $22 Billion Purchases of US, French Fighter Jets: How Russia’s Su-35 Lost Out
Indonesia’s about-face from a deal with Russia to new purchase agreements with the U.S. and France highlights the potency of U.S. sanctions.
— A. B. Abrams | Source: The Diplomat | February 12, 2022
Tumblr media
Editor’s Note: I thought the right of nations to freely pick their security partners was held to be sacred by the United States. Imagine my surprise then when I learned that the US had vetoed Indonesia’s desired expansion of security ties with Russia.
Within 24 hours on February 10-11, $22 billion worth of purchases by the Indonesian Defense Ministry of Western fighter jets were announced under two major contracts. The first was an $8.1 billion deal for 42 Rafale twin engine lightweight fighter jets from France, and the second a $13.9 billion deal for 36 F-15 Eagle heavyweight fighters from the United States.
The Indonesian Air Force currently fields 49 fighters in four squadrons, indicating that the new 78 aircraft will not only replace all fighters in service but will also expand the country’s fleet with new squadrons. The backbone of the fleet is currently comprised of 33 F-16 and F-5 lightweight fighters, which are expected to be replaced by the Rafales, while the elite is formed of 16 Russian Su-27/30 heavyweights, which are likely to be replaced by the F-15s.
The Indonesian acquisitions are notable, first, for their scale, with $22 billion worth of purchases being a tremendous sum even for larger arms importers such as Saudi Arabia or Japan and representing a major escalation of defense spending. At the same time, the new deals also reflect the success of U.S. efforts to expand the market share of Western armaments using threats of economic sanctions.
In February 2018 the Indonesian Defense Ministry had announced a $1.1 billion contract for the acquisition of 11 Russian Su-35 heavyweight fighters, with deliveries expected to begin by the end of 2019 and additional purchases considered likely. Intervention by the United States however, using the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), effectively stalled and then cancelled the deal.
Signed into law in August 2017, CAATSA leveraged the United States’ place at the heart of the global financial system to influence global arms sales by threatening any client for a major Russian weapons package with economic warfare. It was first applied in September 2018 against China for its orders of $4 billion worth of Russian Su-35s and S-400 air defense systems, placed in 2015.
The act effectively ensures that although a core of countries deeply invested in Russian military hardware such as Algeria, Vietnam, and India will likely continue their acquisitions, those countries that have sought to hedge between Russian and Western arms – such as Indonesia, Egypt, the Philippines, or Malaysia – can be swayed toward giving Western producers Russia’s market share.
Indonesia had from the late 1960s looked only to the United States for acquisitions of fighter aircraft, purchasing F-5 and F-16 lightweight jets and planning further F-16 acquisitions in the 1990s. The perceived threat of U.S. moves to block spare parts for the fleet in the 1990s, which materialized in 1999 in response to alleged human rights abuses in what was then Indonesian East Timor, led Jakarta to diversify its fleet by acquiring Russian Su-27 and later Su-30 fighters.
Acquiring Russian and American fighters in parallel, the former providing smaller numbers of elite heavyweights and the latter larger numbers of low maintenance lightweights, was expected to continue to shape Indonesian acquisitions plans, with Su-35s potentially being supplemented by new F-16 Block 72 aircraft from the United States.
Washington had long pressured clients for Russian arms to look to the West, in part as a means to undermine Russia’s heavily export reliant defense sector, but CAATSA escalated this considerably and, in Indonesia’s case, appears to have proven decisive.
The Indonesian government initially released defiant statements against U.S. sanctions threats, with Defense Minister Riamizard Riachudu stating in October 2018: “Never cancel. We are continuing the implementation of the contract.” This came two months after Director General of the Indonesian Trade Ministry Oke Nurwan lamented, “While we are in the process of the barter trade with Russia, the U.S. is trying to intervene.”
Russia’s willingness to accept payment in commodities, and later to offer Indonesia heavily customized variants of the Su-35, appeared to be desperate efforts to salvage the deal. Nevertheless, it was announced in December 2021 that the Su-35 acquisition plans had been cancelled, with the primary beneficiary appearing to be France.
Indonesia appears to have replaced Russia with France as its secondary supplier of fighters. With only Russia and the United States producing heavyweight fighters for export, Jakarta changed its plans for U.S. acquisitions from light F-16s to heavy F-15s and purchased Rafales in place of the F-16s. Sales by France notably benefit the United States not only by undermining Russia, but also by strengthening the often-struggling defense sector of Washington’s NATO ally – a particularly salient point after French anger over the cancellation of a major submarine deal with Australia. It will also yield some revenues for U.S. firms, which alongside multiple non-French European firms produce significant inputs for the Rafale.
While Indonesia’s new acquisitions place it in the clear in terms of avoiding sanctions, this has come at a very considerable cost. Even the lightweight Rafales will be acquired for approximately $193 million each, while the heavier F-15s are among the most expensive fighters ever exported at $386 million each – compared to just $100 million for the Su-35. When China bought a larger number of two dozen Su-35s they were sold at approximately $83 million each, and for an order of 36 to 42 fighters it is highly plausible that the price would fall to under $80 million.
Tumblr media

Meanwhile, the Su-35 is 180 percent as heavy and has 190 percent the engine power and a far higher endurance than the Rafale, which has the weakest engines of any fighter in production in the world. The Russian fighter integrates thrust vectoring engines, has a higher endurance, and notably uses three radars where its Western competitors field only one. The Su-35 fighter’s R-37 air-to-air missiles are fast and can shoot much further at 400 km – around double the range of the Rafale’s Meteor missile and more than double that of the F-15’s AIM-120D.
This is not to say that the Su-35 is necessarily better, with the F-15 in particular being a peer level competitor to it albeit at nearly five times the price, but rather that the massive discrepancy in cost is very difficult to explain by a performance advantage of Western systems. A number of factors, most notably the dollar’s much higher purchasing power in Russia, largely explain the price difference favoring the Su-35. Had Indonesia acquired 78 Su-35s instead of 78 Rafales and F-15s, the cost would have been little over $6 billion instead of $22 billion, with the fighter’s operational costs being similar to those of the F-15, although higher than those of the lighter Rafale.
Indonesia’s decisions illustrate the potency of U.S. economic sanctions threats, with the result being provision of much needed revenues to Western defense industries, a much more expensive and arguably less potent defense capability for clients, and denial of revenues to the Russian defense industry as part of broader Western efforts to undermine the country’s economy. Indonesia’s case is far from unique. A notable preceding example in the region is the Philippines, where the Defense Ministry cited CAATSA threats as the reason for acquiring Black Hawk helicopters from the United States after initially showing a strong interest in Russian Mi-171. Similar trends are expected to continue to shape global arms sales unless changes in the world economy weaken the potency of U.S. sanctions and undermine Washington’s ability use economic and political pressure to influence acquisitions decisions.

IMAGES: RAF Typhoons visit India and train with Su-30MKI and Rafale from IAF
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/26/22 - 20:30 in Military
Recently, Eurofighter Typhoon fighters of the Royal British Air Force (RAF) visited New Delhi, India and were able to fly alongside the Su-30MKI and Rafale jets of the Indian Air Force (IAF).
The Typhoon fighters were part of Squadron 6 of the Lossiemouth RAF Base in the United Kingdom. British aircraft visited India after a training exercise in Australia. On the way to India they were accompanied by a Voyager tanker plane (A330 MRTT) for refueling in flight.
Tumblr media
The RAF also included an A400M transport aircraft to transport aircraft engineering personnel.
The visit was to perform joint exercises and exchange experiences and build interoperability, where the pilots had the opportunity to carry out joint missions with the Indian fighters Su-30MKI Flanker and Dassault Rafale EH from IAF.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the RAF delegation also exchanged knowledge on the subject with the Defense Research and Development Organization of India (DRDO), where it was decided to create a new Joint Working Group on the Defense Industry (JWG) for more effective cooperation.
The inaugural meeting of the JWG was held on the sidelines of DefExpo 2022, held in Gandhinagar last week.
The JWG is part of an ongoing initiative between the two countries to strengthen defense and security partnerships through industrial collaboration.
Tumblr media
The United Kingdom recently issued its first General Open Export License (OGEL) in the Indo-Pacific region to India, reducing delivery times for defense purchases.
