Armenia might have received export clearance for Pralay missile:
Big quantities of ammo exports are being made to European nations. Most of these shells will end up in Ukraine through 3rd parties:
Is there some website were we can check if MIL units are exporting something? Will give us a better idea.
Like do our ports have something of like this.
Multiple export consignment tenders have been floated over the past 12 months by MIL, all contracts are for 6-12 months multiple delivery related.
US, France, Armenia emerge as India's top three defence export customers
New Delhi [India], October 27 (ANI)
Amid a growing push to increase export of indigenous defence equipment, the US, France and Armenia have emerged as the top three customers for Indian military exports.
"India is presently exporting military equipment to more than 100 nations across the world. The top three countries in the last financial year include the US, France and Armenia, official sources said on Sunday.
The Defence Ministry has been pushing defence exports and manufacturing in the country to improve domestic production of these equipment to meet internal and international requirements.
The sources said the exports to the US include a significant number of parts of aircraft and helicopters manufactured by Indian firms for global defence majors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
The exports to France include a lot of software and electronic equipment while the exports to Armenia include ATAGS artillery guns, Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher systems, Swathi weapon locating radars and other important systems.
Official sources said that the Defence Industrial Base has been expanding with the presence of 16 Defence public sector units, 430 firms with licenses along 16000 medium and small-scale enterprises.
Sources said the value of defence production in the country has gone up significantly since 2014-15.
"There has been around three times increase in value of production since 2014-15. While the Indian firms produced equipment worth Rs 46,429 crores in 2014-15, it has come to Rs 1.27,265 crores in the last fiscal," they said.
The contribution of the private sector in this value of production is 21 per cent. The major defence platforms produced in the Country include the LCA Tejas fighter jets, aircraft carriers, warships, submarines, Dhanush Artillery Gun system, MBT Arjun, Advanced towed artillery gun system Light Specialist Vehicles, High Mobility Vehicles, Weapon Locating Radar, 3D Tactical Control Radar, Software Defined Radios and Akash Missile System.

Will Russia Lose… the Armenian Air Force?

Is the Russian aeronautics industry starting to pay for its recurring shortcomings? At the end of October 2024, the Armenian Ministry of Defense announced that it had begun negotiations with the Indian aircraft manufacturer HAL in order to acquire a batch of locally produced Su-30MKI Flanker-H fighters as well as dedicated weapons. In doing so, it intends to cancel the order for eight additional Su-30SM Flanker-Cs that has been dragging on… for 5 years. This would be the first contract since India chose to export its own Su-30MKIs.
Currently, the Armenian fighter fleet consists of four Sukhoi Su-30SM Flanker-Cs received new in the spring of 2019 and around fifteen much older Su-25K Frogfoots. However, a few weeks after receiving its fighters, Armenia chose to order eight additional Su-30SMs. Although they have been partially paid for, at 70% of the contract, no aircraft have been delivered since. For one simple reason: Sukhoi has not produced any of them and the only Su-30s to date that have left its factories have been for the needs of Russia itself.
Five years later it seems that the patience of the Armenians has run out. Russia could well lose a customer but also an ally. Armenia has started discussions with HAL around the supply of eight to twelve Su-30MKI. In fact, Hindustan Aircraft Limited would take over the eight new aircraft, on condition that Sukhoi reimburses the advance, and would upgrade the four current Su-30SM to the Su-30MKI standard. This would include replacing the original passive electronically scanned array radar with an active Uttam antenna radar.
Known as the " Super 30 " program, the negotiations revolve around a batch of Astra 1 long-range air-to-air missiles, Rudram 1 anti-radar missiles, and SAAW guided bombs. All three are of Indian design and production. The size of the contract that is emerging between the two countries is currently unknown.

@South block
On-topic, how will russians react to cutting the SU-30SM and placing order at HAL for SU-30 MKI, don't they control key parts for engines etc.

Russians anyways wont be able to sell weapons to anyone except China, Iran and NK.
India might be their solution. Egypt didn't accept the Su35s built for them.
I don't know you tell me......... Where the hell does this tiny state get so much money from? This weapon sale to Armenia sound like a foreign intelligence trap to get a know how on our desi weapon systems & their capabilities.
French Army evaluating Pinaka multi barrel rocket launcher systems for its requirements.
Say the French Army buys the Pinaka & then hands it over to Ukraine.

GoI has gifted 2 waterjet propelled Fast Interceptor Craft (FIC) to the Government of Mozambique on 8 Nov 24. The FICs were transshipped from India by INS Gharial.

Assuming this is for the French Army's own use, I must say this sale is very unlikely to materialize.
They'll evaluate every option on the market as they must, but if they're serious about an off-the-shelf truck-based MLRS in the interim, they'll most likely go for the HIMARS as they already operate the M270 which shares the same modules & rounds.
If that isn't gonna happen due to supply chain issues or order backlog (lots of HIMARS orders recently), the Korean K239 Chunmoo is gonna be their Plan B.
Eventually, for a long-term solution they're likely to develop an indigenous system.
Their first choice would always be MBDA which is reportedly working on longer ranged MLRS.
The Israeli PULS system has also made rapid inroads into the Euro market.
Then of course there's LM with GMLRS/ER and the Koreans. Poland is producing Chunmoo under license.
Minimal chances for Pinaka

There seems to be a trend of transferring own ships to other navies. I am sure it is useful and justified, but how about ordering a replacement unit to maintain force levels?
PS: These FICs were purchased after 26/11 .... wont have much life in them. Hopefully new orders are on the way
It would be great if we had a common platform for manned FIC & an unmanned USV. We could mass manufacture that boat & could cover a range of operations.
Akash export
