The total program cost is estimated at 201.074 billion rupees (4.34 billion dollars). In August 2010, a program endorsed by the defense procurement Defence of India.
However, further negotiations were delayed because India insisted on the integration of the hardware elements of the aircraft a fifth generation fighter.
As a result, the Russian side agreed to upgrade the Su-30MKI fighters to the latest version, known as "Super Dry".
As planned, the aircraft will be manufactured using technology stealth, equipped with a new cockpit, upgraded radar. Significantly modernized Su-30MKI will carry more payload, including air-launched version of cruise missile "Brahmos". India also hopes to upgrade to this version of most of the armament aircraft.
As the "Indian Express", despite the loss in the tender for the supply of medium-sized multi-role combat aircraft, Moscow has assured New Delhi that integrates the best of what is currently on board the upgraded Su-30MKI.

In general, the meeting demonstrated the positive attitude of partners to further develop military-technical cooperation and constructive solution of problems.
Relations with New Delhi in MTC are of particular importance for Moscow. India is the only country with which Russia has a long-term program of military-technical cooperation, a 10-year period from 2011 to 2020.
Russia's main competitors in the arms market in India is Israel, UK, USA, France, Ukraine, Italy, Sweden and other countries.
When reducing the supply of military hardware the final sample of Russian-made bilateral MTC emphasis shifts to the transfer of licenses for the production of military hardware to India, Russian, collaborative and contract research and development, as well as establishing joint ventures for the development, production, modernization and repair of HRP.
Among the most ambitious projects related to the transfer of licenses for the production of military hardware to India, Russian, are multi-licensed production of Su-30MKI fighters, T-90S MBT, as well as the AL-55I engines for India's trainer HJT-36 and HJT-39 and RD- 33 series 3 for the MiG-29. In connection with such a large-scale technology transfer, in 2005 signed an agreement on mutual protection of intellectual property rights.
One of the most successful projects is a joint production of cruise missiles "Brahmos" in the joint venture "BrahMos Aerospace."
Russia is also involved in several tenders for the supply of Sun India's helicopters.

Russia and India have implemented several major projects in aviation (primarily, this fifth-generation fighter program and a program of military-transport aircraft MTA), the sea and land issues.
For 8-year period (2003-2010.) Volume of imports identified by the military of India for all exporting countries was estimated by TSAMTO, 18.864 billion dollars.
The calculation included the identified import of new weapons, licensed software, the supply of the Armed Forces of exporting countries, repair and modernization.
On the prospects of India's arms purchases may be judged from the fact that during the period 2003-2010. India formed a package of orders on imports of defense products (excluding ongoing major tenders) more than twice the volume of actual imports and amounted to 38.579 billion dollars.
Over the period 2003-2010. India ranks second in the overall structure of Russian arms exports - 24.5%. India's share has grown steadily since 2006 (it is noteworthy that this is the first year of the recession in terms of share of exports of Russian weapons to China). For comparison, in 2003, India's share was 35.8% in 2004 - 21.3% in 2005 - 13.7% (the minimum rate for an 8-year period), in 2006 - 20.5% in 2007 - 22.2% in 2008 - 19.6% (for the first time this year, India surpassed China in share volume of Russian military exports) in 2009 - 29.4% in 2010 - 32.4% .
Third place in the ranking United Kingdom - 2.555 billion dollars (13.5%). The order book - 3.452 billion dollars.
Subsequent positions are occupied France - 792 million dollars (order book - 3.986 billion dollars), USA - 509 million dollars (order book - 4.23 billion dollars), Italy - 335 million dollars (order book - 1.49 billion), Poland - 262 million dollars (order book - 202 million dollars).
Among the military hardware from other vendors in the Indian market on the basis of 2003-2010. It should be noted Germany - 210 million dollars (the generated package orders as 210 million dollars), Netherlands - 120 million dollars (order book - 89 million dollars) and the Ukraine - 84 million dollars (order book - 524 million dollars).
Arms of India also implemented in Australia, Canada, Norway and Sweden.
In general, 2003-2010. India imported arms from 15 countries.
Military imports in India in 2011-2014.
In 2011-2014. According to the existing portfolio of orders, tenders and voiced plans to direct the purchase of arms imports in India, according to TSAMTO, will be 37.854 billion dollars against 11.716 billion dollars in 2007-2010. and 7.148 billion dollars in 2003-2006.
According to the existing portfolio of orders and intentions to purchase direct, Russia in 2011-2014. retain first place in the arms market in India with a projected volume of exports amounting to 15.63 billion dollars against 6.902 billion dollars in 2007-2010. and 4.251 billion dollars in 2003-2006. (11.154 billion dollars for the whole period 8-representations).
In the period 2011-2014 gg. India's share in the overall balance of Russia's military exports will increase substantially and reach 48.2% against 24.5% in 2003-2010. By year projected India's share in the structure of Russian arms exports amount to 37% in 2011, 49.2% in 2012, 58% in 2013 and 55.2% in 2014.
In absolute terms, Russia would significantly increase the export of arms to India. However, the percentages of Russia in the arms market in India will decline from 59.1% in 2003-2010. to 41.3% in 2011-2014. This is due to the fact that India has embarked on ambitious programs for the purchase of weapons and Russia can not compete in all market segments. In addition, India is actively pursuing a policy of diversification of suppliers of arms. Of course, a great pity that Russia dropped out of bidding for the supply of multi-role fighters and attack helicopters (this is the niche where Russia is competitive). From this, of course, it is necessary to draw conclusions.
The second place on the predicted volume of exports of India during the HRP 2011-2014 gg. take the U.S. - 7.11 billion dollars (18.8% market share). For comparison, the U.S. share in the Indian market in 2003-2010. was 2.7%. It should be noted that the United States (and Russia) have a lot of contracts for delivery outside of the period.
Third place belongs to the supply (the calculation is made prior to 2014) in the category of "tender", the final results of which are not summed - 6.355 billion dollars (16.8%).
For all countries, the calculation is made to 2014 inclusive. Scheduled deliveries outside of this period in the calculation does not count.
Overall, orders for defense products in India in 2011-2014. currently have 14 countries.
