Defexpo India 2012, the country’s biggest-ever land, naval and homeland security systems exhibition, will open today in New Delhi. The biennial event has grown since 2010 and will host 567 exhibitors, up from 425 in 2010. All major public sector companies (PSU and domestic shipyards) are here, along with hundreds of large and small private sector companies – 335 Indian exhibitors in total. The exhibitors will include 232 foreign companies from 32 countries, grouped in several national pavilions; the largest are those of the US, Russia, France, Israel, the UK and Germany.
India is the world’s largest importer of defense systems. The annual Indian defense budget is currently set at $16 billion, and, with projected annual growth of 15 percent, the total capital market for defense could reach over 100 billion.
Some of the companies exhibiting here announced new products for the show. Few of these items are included below.
The Indian Navy is Pressing for Foreign Construction of Next Generation Submarines
Bowed to pressure from the Navy, India’s ministry of defense (MoD) has ruled that foreign and government owned shipyards will be allowed to compete for the construction of new Project 75I submarines. In contrast to previous policy, MoD determined that no private sector shipyard in the country has the infrastructure and capability required for building the next generation conventional submarines that the Indian Navy wants. As a result, the long-delayed plan to build six conventional submarines for an estimated Rs 30,000-35,000 crore (about US$6 billion) will be divided between foreign shipyards and the defense public sector.
According to Secretary of Defence for Production, Shekhar Agarwal, two Project 75I submarines will be built abroad by the foreign vendor that wins the MoD contract with the follow-on four vessels to be constructed in India, by the Mazagon Dock Limited, Mumbai (MDL) and Hindustan Shipyard Ltd, Visakhapatnam (HSL).
This decision is a blow to the private sector shipyards. Larsen & Turbo (L&T) shipyard. The company is playing a major role in building the Arihant-class nuclear submarines. ABG Shipyard and Pipavav Shipyard have also invested on infrastructure in preparation for major defense contracts. According to the long-term Submarine Construction Plan introduced in 1999, Indian shipyards would build 24 conventional submarines by 2030. The latest MoD decision to build two submarines abroad runs contrary to this plan.

En 4 ans, les forces aériennes indiennes ont perdu 33 avions de combat
"Erreurs humaines et pièces de rechanges contrefaites"
1 avril 2012 – 11:32
Selon le ministre indien de la Défense, A.K Antony, qui s’est exprimé sur le sujet devant le Parlement le mois dernier, les forces aériennes du pays ont perdu 33 avions de combat au cours de la période allant du 1er avril 2008 au 13 mars 2012, sur un total de plus de 600 appareils mis en oeuvre au sein de l’Indian Air Force (IAF) et de l’Indian Naval Air Arm. Et c’est sans oublier les accidents de 10 hélicoptères et de 17 autres avions militaires.
En service depuis les années 1960, le MiG-21 Bison peut être considéré comme étant le « faiseur de veuves » de l’IAF puisque pas moins de 16 exemplaires ont été perdus au cours de cette période. Au total, ce sont 27 MiGs qui ont été impliqués dans des accidents, de même que 3 Sukhoi SU-30, 1 Jaguar et 2 Mirage 2000H, dont un a été perdu le 24 février dernier.
Pour l’ambassadeur russe en poste à New Delhi, Alexandre Kadakin, le nombre élevé d’accidents ayant impliqué des MiG n’est pas surprenant. Selon lui, l’IAF doit revoir ses procédures d’acquisition en matière de pièces de rechange, dont certaines ne seraient que des contrefaçons.

Inde :Ministère de la Défense a commandé 100 obusiers de 155 mm
NEW DELHI, 5 Mars. (ARMS-TASS). Commandement de l'Armée de l'Inde Sun a signé un contrat avec une entreprise publique nationale «conseil Ordnance Factory" (Conseil Ordnance Factory, OFB) sur la production et la livraison de cent et de l'obusier de 155 mm, ITAR-TASS a signalé.
Obusier FH-77B, selon l'agence PTI, sera faite sur le acheté dans les années 1980, la société suédoise de licence "Bofors". L'ordre pour la production de l'artillerie ministère de la Défense de l'Inde met la première fois en un quart de siècle.
Sur le montant de la transaction n'ont pas été divulgués. Il est prévu que le premier coup de canon est entré en service l'armée indienne jusqu'à la fin de cette année.
Quelque infos sur le contrat des Rafales
Le prix unitaire à la production, en France, est de 101 M€ (selon la cour des comptes).
Le prix total du marché indien, divisé par le nombre d'appareils, donne un prix unitaire de
80 à 87 M€. Allez ... disons un prix moyen à 84 M€.
Sauf que 108 appareils seront produits en Inde. Ca ne fait certainement pas gagner 20 M€ par appareil, mais il y a quand même certainement un impact non négligeable sur le coût - pas seulement de main d'oeuvre, mais aussi de fiscalité locale et autres charges diverses.
Ça ne faisait aucun doute... Je l'ai toujours dit
En +, il y a de fortes chances que le choix de l'Inde décident le Brésil & les EAU...
Sans compter que j'ai entendu que le Sultanat d'Oman envisage l'achat d'une 20taine de chasseurs multirole. Même si leur 1er choix se porte sur le Typhoon, ils peuvent se laisser convaincre par leurs potes des Émirats.
Désolé pour le HS, j'arréte...
Pour en revenir à ton article, mon cher Geronimo...
Depuis + de 2 ans, la France multiplie les gestes en faveur de l'Inde (upgrade des Mirage 2000 par exemple) & l'assemblage final des 3/4 de la commande en Inde & le transfert de technologie étaient des conditions OBLIGATOIRE pour l'Inde sur le choix de l'avion.
Le deuxième Embraer de l'armée de l'air indienne a p^ris son envol:
l'Algérie qu'on insulte dans tous ses gestes quotidiens
rappellera que la discorde ne naît jamais d'un malentendu
mais de la méconnaissance et de l'irrespect.
