Интересная статья про индийские оборонные расходы

Суть:
индийское правительство обсуждает возможность увеличения оборонных расходов на 1% ВВП, что даст прибавку в 50 млрд. долл. в течение 5 лет.

Далее идет перечисленние планов по закупкам, характерно, что планируют взять ДРЛО, стелс-фрегаты.

Обсуждается вопрос и с советским/российскими вооружениями, модернизация которых стоит 20 млрд. долл, в том числе и их полная замена на западные образцы, но полагают, что это нерально

India May Increase Defense Spending As Percent of GDP

By VIVEK RAGHUVANSHI

NEW DELHI — The Indian govern¬ment is debating whether to in¬crease its $21.8 billion defense budget from 2.2 percent of gross domestic product to 3 percent, which would mean another $50 billion over the next five years.
India, whose overall economy is growing at 9 percent per year, wants to maintain its position as a big regional power, said Nitin Mehta, a New Delhi-based de¬fense analyst. It will need to spend more on weapons to counter China, which is building its own military and supplying nuclear-capable weapons to Pak¬istan, Mehta said.
Indian Defence Ministry sources said defense planners are watch¬ing China, whose defense spend¬ing is growing along with an econ¬omy that has expanded in double-digit percentages for more than 16 years.
One senior Indian Defence Min¬istry official said New Delhi would have to match Chinese spending.
Over five years, the services’ purchase plans include:
å Air Force: buy about 200 combat aircraft, including 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Air¬craft worth $10 billion, additional AWACS, about 150 medium and multirole helicopters, rotary and fixed-wing UAVs, precision-guided missiles and air defense systems.
å Navy: acquire 30 warships over the same time, including stealth frigates, two more aircraft carriers, which includes the refit of the Russian carrier Admiral Gorshokov, and the homegrown Air Defence Ship.
å Army: buy 200 helicopters, UAVs, air defense systems, 155mm howitzers, multibarrel rocket launchers and infantry equipment.
All services are planning major C4I programs.
The Defence Ministry has quick¬ened its spending on anti-ballistic missile systems to be developed at home with Israeli help, and also on nuclear-capable cruise and ballis¬tic missiles.
Dealing With Russian Arsenal
The military needs to replace or upgrade most of the Soviet weaponry bought in the 1960s and 1970s. Upgrading it would cost about $20 billion, the ministry of¬ficial said. Some planners want to replace the Russian weapons and equipment with Western equip¬ment, but that would be a slap to India’s long-standing No. 1 arms provider.
But some sources in the Defence Ministry said there is no alterna¬tive to replacing the Russian weaponry. å

IAF is very keen to acquire helicopters with high-altitude (25,000 feet-plus) capability but they are not available in the global market. India's requirements are typical due to the tough terrain in the Himalayan heights and HAL has promised to design and deliver them within 10 years.

But for routine combat operations, Boeing has offered its famed Apache AH 64 and Eurocopter, its Tigre (Tiger in English) EC 665. The Apache offer was disclosed only last week in New Delhi by Boeing's visiting Vice President and General Manager for Rotorcraft Systems Chuck Allen.

Both these helicopters make extensive use of reinforced carbon composite materials, kevlar and titanium. Their service ceiling is around 16,000 feet.

As for the Eurocopter Fennec, it would replace the nearly 400 Alouettes and Lamas (designated Chetak and Cheetah) currently in operation with the Indian armed forces as well as private organisations. But eventually, as the assembly and progressive manufacture of the aircraft is done at HAL, around 600 of these machines could be made in India, depending upon the price and required rate of production.

Россия ничо современного предложить не может, а типа в Гималаях воевать нечем, нету вертолётов для высот порядка 8км, а AH-64 атстой по этому параметру, вот изучают Феники, хотят собрать и произвести у себя порядка 600 вертушек.

В США более высотные Super Cobra, не Apache. Но в горах уместнее многоцелевые. (-)

Только я понял, что Феники взамен столь мощного аппарата

как "Лама". Боюсь, там что-то напутано - только что из-за взяток провалился индийский тендер на легкие вертолеты, где Белл 407 вроде с Феником и сражался

Китай требует у Индии убрать два бункера на границе в Сиккиме

"
KOLKATA: China's demand for the removal of two Indian Army bunkers near an outpost called Batang La, shows it may be trying to gain a dominant position at a height on the tri-junction as the adjoining Chumbi Valley in Bhutan, where they are located, is tactically disadvantageous.

Ну так что для Индии и Китая ударные высокогорные вертолёты вполне актуальны
