俄国五代机成本上涨，印度五代机计划遇到障碍，但表示暂 ...

印度至今未与俄罗斯正式落实五代机开发合同（出真金白银开发），但表示不考虑F-35。

印度想知道成色如何，必须花数亿美元买3架原型机回印度测试。

要想订购量产型，以后还要给俄罗斯110/2=55亿美元的设计费用，这还是目前预定的研发成本，上涨是必然的，只是幅度问题

眼下，类似于”阵风“遇到的情况，印度没钱将采购（开发）项目落实，又表示不会考虑替代机型，虽然2010年与俄罗在一份价值2.95亿美元的FGFA（印度版T-50）”计划“上签了名，但直到今年都没有付款，自然也没有启动（根据之前合同，印度本应在2013财年开始启动50印度版FGFA的研制，但目前看不大可能。）

印度最早给俄罗斯画的350亿美元大饼还只是存在于纸面上，而且大饼已经小一圈了——印度空军已决定将第五代战斗机(Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft，FGFA)的购买数量调整为144架单座型机，而不是之前确定的214多架(印度空军最早宣布计划购买214架FGFA，其中166架单座型，48架双座型)。

5th-generation fighter plan hits hurdle as Russia hikes cost

NEW DELHI: India's biggest defence project in the making, the critical joint development of the fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) with Russia, has flown into some rough weather.

Defence ministry sources said the inking of the final design and R&D contract for the stealth fighter has been hit by a huge delay, with Russia also jacking up costs for the futuristic project. "It's very unlikely the FGFA final design contract will be concluded in the 2013-2014 fiscal," said a source.

This contract was to be inked in 2012 as per the then revised timeline after completion of the preliminary design contract (PD C) phase. India will eventually end up spending close to $35 billion over the next two decades to induct over 200 such "swing-role" fighters.

The plan till last year was that India would begin inducting the FGFA from 2022 onwards, with IAF test pilots getting three prototypes in 2014, 2017 and 2019 for trials at the Hindustan Aeronautics manufacturing facility at Ozar.

"The timeframes will now have to be revised. MoD has established a committee of specialists and finance officials to verify the rise in costs. An internal contract negotiation committee is also in progress," said the source.

But India remains firm about rejecting the US offer for joining its Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) or the F-35 'Lightning-II' programme. "A lot of money and time has been invested in the FGFA with Russia. India simply cannot afford two FGFAs, both financially as well as logistically" he said.

The 18-month PDC worth $295 million for the FGFA with Russia was inked in December 2010, under which Indian designers and scientists have even been stationed in Russia to work out the blueprints and documentation for the fighter.

Though the Indian "perspective multi-role fighter" will be based on the Russian single-seat FGFA called Sukhoi T-50 or PAK-FA, which now has four prototypes flying, it will be tweaked to IAF requirements. IAF had initially pitched for 166 single-seat and 48 twin-seat fighters but will go for only single-cockpit jets now to reduce costs as well as protect stealth features.

The final design contract now being negotiated was pegged at $11 billion, with India and Russia sharing $5.5 billion each towards the cost of designing, infrastructure build-up at Ozar, prototype development and flight testing. Each fighter was to cost over $100 million.

IAF is quite confident the T-50 will meet its future requirements. Apart from ultra-manoeuvrability and supersonic cruising ability, the FGFA will carry its weapons inside the fuselage to lower its radar signature. With a cruising speed of Mach 1.7 to 1.8, it has both long-range strike and high-endurance air defence capabilities.

IAF is currently making do with just 34 fighter squadrons (each has 14 to 18 jets) despite needing at least 44 to keep both Pakistan and China at bay. It's banking upon the ongoing induction of 270 Russian Sukhoi-30MKIs for around $12 billion as well as the early inking of the almost $20 billion project to acquire 126 French Rafale fighters to plug operational gaps till the FGFA becomes a reality.
