Russia Offers India "Highly Favorable" Terms for Aircraft Cooperation, Says Ambassador
Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov says Moscow is offering India not just aircraft supplies but also joint production and joint development opportunities.
Russia is offering India highly favorable terms for cooperation in the aircraft sector, Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov has said.
According to Alipov, Russia's offer to India goes beyond simple supply arrangements, extending to joint production and joint development of aircraft, a model intended to deepen the technological and industrial partnership between the two countries.
Broader defense and industrial ties
The comments come amid longstanding defense and industrial cooperation between Russia and India, which has included joint ventures in areas such as missile technology in the past. Aircraft cooperation would add to this existing framework of collaboration.
Alipov did not provide, in comments available so far, a specific timeline or list of aircraft models covered by the proposed cooperation, nor details on the scale of investment or technology transfer involved.
India has historically sourced a significant share of its military and civilian aviation equipment from a mix of international suppliers, and any expanded cooperation with Russia in joint production would mark a deepening of that relationship at a time of evolving global supply chains in the aerospace sector.
