Correct me if I am wrong but Phillipines already signed for T129 as their attack helicopter and deliveries have started.

Every country got BS bloggers. 😊

They already operate FA-50PH no need for LCA.
 
Should focus on countries like Armenia, Central Asian Stans, Middle East and Africa.
lol, right now we can focus on russians, they will pay a premium for it with no long running negotiations. we can sell arms for oil and cut our deficit to a large extent.

We don't have anything unique that can be offered to the Russians. It's not cheap or assymetric like Iranian hardware.
 
Bharat forge CEO seemed to confirm the export is for the 4x4 vehicle mounted gun system, at around 9:50-10 min mark. Also mentioned of the late Gen. insistence of creating that 4x4 vehicle mounted gun.

 
Some info more & hopefully more export orders come their way soon

India Offers Vietnam its Choice Defence Products​

Hoping to become one of Vietnam’s major providers of high tech weapons, India has offered the country BrahMos cruise missiles, the Akash missile air defence system, Varunastra anti-submarine torpedoes, and coastal radars.

Defence ties between the two countries received a fillip following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Vietnam in 2016 and his announcement of a US$500 million defence LoC (letter of credit).

India and Vietnam share a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership since 2016 and defence cooperation is a key pillar of this partnership. Vietnam is an important partner in India’s Act East policy and the Indo-Pacific vision.

According to Dr. Sameer Patil , Senior Fellow at ORF Mumbai, both countries have been in talks about the Akash system since 2017, as Vietnam is looking to replace its ageing Soviet-era S-125/S-75 mid-tier surface-to-air missile systems.

“More likely is the purchase of BrahMos missiles, co-developed by India and Russia. After bagging its first export order for the missile from the Philippines earlier this year, India is keen to maintain the momentum by aggressively pitching the missile system to Hanoi. This export push serves the dual purpose of boosting India’s defence industry and arming a key Southeast Asian nation that keeps China on edge,” Dr Patil noted.

Under an earlier Line of Credit of $US100 million, India delivered over 12 High Speed Guard Boats to Vietnam during Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s isit to Hong Ha Shipyard in Hai Phong on June 9 this year. The initial five boats were built in the Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Shipyard in India and the other seven in Hong Ha Shipyard. The defence minister also announced a gift of two simulators and monetary grant towards setting up of Language and IT Lab at Air Force Officers Training School for capacity building of Vietnamese Armed Forces.

India and Vietnam share a rich history of civilisational and cultural linkages spanning over 2,000 years. India and Vietnam continue to have most trustworthy relations in contemporary times with broader convergence of interests and common concerns. Bilateral defence engagements have expanded over a period of time to include wide-ranging contacts between the two countries, including defence policy dialogues, military to military exchanges, high level visits, capacity building and training programs, cooperation in UN Peace Keeping, ship visits and bilateral exercises.

 
Vietnamese friend gave me short summary of what was said by video taker:

India's defense industry is very strong, it can be said that all the best is here. Akas weapon system can track 64 targets, this system is not too expensive.Astra air-to-air missile, integrated on the Su 30, has a range of about 100km. The Tal torpedo, developed with India's own technology, has a range of about 20km. India's early warning aircraft has Israeli technology integrated. The fighter is self-developed by India, but still incomplete. SAAW-DRDO missile is a smart weapon used to attack ground targets such as airports, with a range of 90-100km, with good maneuverability. AMOGHA anti-tank missile shoot and forget, range up to 2000m.

Tank T 90 S manufactured by India under license from Russia. Tank T 72 manufactured by India etc, and this is the Brahmos missile quite impressive with versions for submarines, warships. this is an impressive Indian frigate with integrated Brahmos, looking like the design of the Soviet era etc

The general comment is that India brings a lot of impressive products, but the plastic models are not beautiful :ROFLMAO:
