ndia and Russia have signed two contracts for the delivery of Russian anti tank missiles, a source close to the Indian Defense Ministry told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

The source confirmed that these contracts had been signed, but declined to give any details.

Local media reports have suggested that Russia will deliver 25,000 Invar missiles for India's T-90 tanks and 10,000 Konkurs antitank missiles, worth an estimated $240 million.

Citing sources in the Indian government, local media earlier reported that India would buy 10,000 Invar missiles from Russian manufacturers and that a further 15,000 missiles will be manufactured under license in India.

Former Army Chief Gen V K Singh said in March that some units had only three or four days of tank ammunition left.

Russia will make the Indian T-90 "digital"

Kits that make the tank "digital" - an automated control system (ACS), which is based on tank subsystem ESU TK "Constellation-2M". The set allows commanders to control units on the battlefield in real time, connecting all armored vehicles into a single information network.

- The tanks are displays showing all the tactical information about the location of friendly forces and enemy forces. With ACS commanders of all units receive tasks from higher headquarters, give orders, and control their execution, make changes in the plans. The interface is very similar to a computer game strategy, - he said.

Performed two sets of ACS - for linear and command tanks. Commander's system is more complex, equipped with additional displays. According to the source, the negotiations with India are conducted throughout the year, and the success of the talks facilitated by the fact that the main tank of Indian Army - Russian T-90.

Especially for customers Russians conducted additional tests and screenings "Constellation." Indian military check whether work set in the desert, the mountains, in crossing water obstacles. Most of them concerned whether the transmitter is to break through the dust and rain.

- Not everything went smoothly, the equipment and software had to be replaced. The hardest thing was to integrate our electronic brains with Indian, but we managed - said the defense industry.
