The joint Rostec and Rosoboronexport delegation is headed by the Director of International Cooperation and Regional Policy Viktor Kladov.
Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov: "AeroIndia-2017 is an important event for India’s and regional aviation market. India has for many years been a strategic partner of Russia and of Rostec. Our two nations have successfully worked on multiple projects bringing Russian technology to India and producing state-of-the-art military equipment locally, most notably Su-30MKI fighter jets, T-90S tanks and the Brahmos missile. Now the Modi government adopted the «Make in India» course aimed at localization of production of military products in India and it involves creation of joint ventures and deep transfer of technology. In the framework of this program we have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture for the production of Ka-226T in October 2016 at the BRICS summit. Now there is active implementation of this project. We are also working on the expansion of cooperation in various fields in accordance with Make in India – in the traditional sphere of military-technical cooperation and in non-military areas such as electronics, biotechnology and composite materials."
Russian Helicopters
India has traditionally been considered a special strategic partner of Russian Helicopters, part of Rostec State Corporation. More than 400 helicopters produced in Russia are registered and operated here.
This year, Russian Helicopters’ key exhibit in India is the Ka-226T model. In 2016 Russian Helicopters, Rosoboronexport and HAL Corporation created a joint venture to localize production of the light, multirole Ka-226Ts and to deliver them to the Indian market. The JV resulted from an intergovernmental agreement between the two countries. In addition to the assembly, it provides terms for maintenance, operation, repairs and maintenance of these helicopters.
The light multirole Ka-226T helicopter with a coaxial main rotor system has a maximum takeoff weight of 3.6 tonnes and can carry up to 1 tonne payload. Its main distinguishing feature is modular design. A passenger cabin can be easily installed, which allows to carry up to 6 people or modules fitted with special equipment: medical, search and rescue, military or transport. The helicopter is easy to operate, boasts incredibly precise hovering, has excellent manoeuvrability and handling, easy to maintain, has large power capacity and features maximum safety.
In addition, visitors are shown a multi-purpose Mi-38 in the passenger version. The Mi-38 is one of the most highly automated civil helicopters in the world. Its flight and navigation systems allow to engage auto pilot, land, hover, and stabilize the helicopter in any flight mode. Due to the technical solutions used in the Mi-38, it is superior to other helicopters in its class in terms of payload, passenger capacity and basic flight characteristics. The helicopter can be used in a wide range of climatic conditions, including marine, tropical and cold climates.
A presentation of the light multirole Ansat helicopter is also scheduled.
Besides these presentations, particular attention will be paid to the new after-sales service concept for foreign customers. As part of these services, Russian Helicopters is actively developing a "one window" format in India, which is aimed at building strategic relationships with helicopter operators and implies non-tender based, long-term agreements and transition to a service format extending to the complete helicopter life cycle.
