India france defense deal: India and France are moving very fast towards a large and historical defense agreement. Under this deal, the two countries will jointly create an advanced jet engine with 120 Kilonuton (KN) strength, which will prove to be very important for India’s state -of -the -art Stealth Fighter Jet AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) and future defense platforms.
The possible cost of this deal is said to be around ₹ 61,000 crore and it has been approved after a detailed review of the Technical Committee and stakeholders of the Ministry of Defense (MOD).
What are AMCA and IMRH?
Amca (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft)
It is India’s 5th generation stealth fighter aircraft, which is making DRDO. According to the information, this aircraft will be able to avoid the Kim specialty radar, supercruz (without afterburner fast flying) and infallible attacks at the enemy’s bases.
IMRH (Indian Multirole Helicopter)
It is being prepared by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) which is a helicopter weighing more than 12 tons. It will be used for transport, attack, search-rascal and VIP missions for the army.
Why is India doing this partnership with France?
India has been trying for a long time to make engines of its fighter jets and helicopters in the country. So far most engines are ordered from foreign companies, which affects both time, cost and security. This agreement with France will not only give India new technology but will also lead it towards self -reliance.
A look at the main things of the project:
₹ 61,000 crore cost: This deal can be India’s most expensive engine development project ever.
Power of 120KN: With this engine, India will be provided supercruze and stealth capabilities for 5th generation of fighter aircraft.
Technology transfer: France will provide complete technology to make India an engine, so that India will be able to develop an engine itself in the future.
Hal’s role: HAL will be the largest shareholder in this project and will also work with France in the engine of IMRH.
What benefit will India get?
Self -reliance: India will be able to meet its needs in the defense sector.
Possibility of export: India can export stealth engines in future.
Employment and Technical Development: Indian engineers and scientists will get an opportunity to work in state -of -the -art technology.
India-France defense relations will be stronger.
Let me tell you, this deal can prove to be a milestone in India’s defense strategy. If everything happens according to the plan, then in the coming years, India will not only develop stealth fighter aircraft, but their hearts will also fully prepare the engine in their country. This partnership between India and France can also bring major changes in the direction of the global defense sector in the coming time.
