CHINA OPENS ITS ACCOUNT AT AERO INDIA 2017

Bangalore Mirror Bureau | Feb 14, 2017, 01.00 AM IST




After 10 editions of Aero India since 1996, this will be the first time that China will participate in India’s aviation show

For the first time in the history of India’s premier military aviation show, Aero India, China will make its debut in the event’s five-day 11thedition, starting on Tuesday, with a confirmed five-member team. Two more Chinese officials are also being considered to be the delegation, in which case the delegation would be seven-member strong.



According to defence officials, this surprise “inclusion” of the Chinese delegation had been under consideration of the defence ministry as a proactive stand taken by the Indian government.


The Chinese team – all from People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), the Chinese Air Force – will be headed by Major General Wang Qiang. part from Maj Gen Qiang, the defence officials have confirmed the delegation comprising Senior Colonel Gao Zhikuan, Col Huang Xinyang, Lt Col Jiang Jiaji and Maj Li Yiu.

The Chinese embassy in New Delhi is trying to add two more officials whose names have not yet been disclosed, but the union government is reportedly considering adding them too.

The Chinese will not be flying any aircraft at the air show, and the visit is being seen as more of an ice-breaker in the bitter-sour relations between Indian and China.

The Chinese delegation coming to Aero India is a significant development considering that China is helping Pakistan build up its Air Force with both the countries jointly developing the Joint Fighter (JF)-17 Thunder. Pakistan is also eyeing the Chinese stealth fighter Shenyang J-31, which could tip the scales in the favour of the Pakistan Air Force vis-à-vis the Indian Air Force, which hosts the Aero India shows at the Air Force Station Yelahanka.

The frequent border violations by the People’s Liberation Army troops too is an issue that has soured relations between India and China on several occasions.

The nature of the Chinese delegation’s involvement at Aero India 2017 is still not clear, but officials feel it could be more or interactions with air force delegations and aviation companies from other countries which are also visiting Aero India 2017 that will run from February 14 to 18

Aero India starts in Bengaluru today, to focus on Make on India

New Delhi: The 11th edition of the Aero India air show which starts in Bengaluru on Tuesday is expected to be one of the largest in recent years, with a focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India initiative.

Around 270 Indian and 279 foreign firms are slated to participate in the event where some major companies, including Airbus and Boeing Co, are expected to sign deals under the Make in India banner.

“It is expected that two lakh business visitors will attend the show. The gross area (of the show) has also increased from 2,50,000 sq. m to 2,60,000 sq. m,” the ministry of defence said in a statement.



While Modi had inaugurated the previous Bengaluru air show in 2015, defence minister Manohar Parrikar is likely to open it this year as the event coincides with election activity in several states.

The highlight of the show at the city’s Yelahanka Air Force Station will be fighter jets that make up a large part of the 72 aircraft being showcased. Among these will be Rafale fighter jets made by French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation SA. India bought 36 of these aircraft for an estimated $8.9 billion last year in a deal that has been negotiated several times over the years.

Dassault Aviation said three fighter jets will participate—one single-seat Rafale C and two of the two-seat Rafale B.

Rafale planes have been used by the French armed forces in combat operations for more than a decade. They entered service with the French Navy in 2004 and the Air Force in 2006. Some of the 152 planes delivered so far have been used in combat in Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Iraq and Syria.



India had started hunting for multi-role fighter jets in 2007 but later decided to scrap that tender, instead announcing that it would buy Rafale jets from France under a government-to-government deal agreed during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Paris in 2015.

The combat aircraft—delivery of which is expected to begin in September 2019 and be completed by April, 2022—come equipped with state-of-the-art missiles such as Meteor and Scalp, according to the defence ministry.

With the air-to-air Meteor missiles, the Indian Air Force will be able to hit targets as distant as 150km, compared with the 80km it was so far capable of targeting. Scalp, an air-to-ground cruise missile with a range in excess of 300km, will also give IAF an edge over adversaries.

We are not ruling out India acquisitions: Boeing’s Leanne Caret

“Demonstrating Rafale’s capabilities in Aero India reaffirms our total commitment to India’s sovereignty. We have had a long standing relationship with Indian Air Force and industry and, thanks to the unmatched capabilities of the Rafale and to our full involvement in the innovative approach of the “Make in India” initiative, we are entirely dedicated to partner India in meeting its strategic defence and economic needs,” Eric Trappier, chairman and chief executive of Dassault Aviation said in a statement.

The Russian Sukhoi 30MKI, Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), Advanced Jet Trainers (AJT) Hawks are also likely to be present at the show.



But all eyes will be on American F-16s and Swedish Saab fighter jet Gripen E and its naval variant Gripen Maritime. Both companies are vying to bag the next multi-billion order from India under the so-called strategic partnership model according to which the manufacturer will be asked to set up an assembly line in India.

Airbus said it will showcase its H130 chopper ambulance on static display.

“The future of Indian aerospace and defence industry rests on the realization of the ‘Make in India’ vision. I look forward to having conversations around the topic at Aero India,” said Pierre de Bausset, president and managing director at Airbus India.

Tata Motors’s Vernon Noronha on the firm’s defence manufacturing strategy

“We have partnered with Tata and Mahindra and are working with a host of other companies to script ‘Make in India’ success stories,” he added.

The firm said it procures about $500 million (about Rs3,400 crore) worth of products from India annually from around 45 suppliers, generating local employment for more than 6,000 people.

The Tata Group said all its key firms will participate in the event, including Tata Advanced Systems Ltd, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Advanced Materials Ltd, Tata Motors Ltd, Titan Co. Ltd, Tata Steel (Specialty Steel business in Europe), TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd and Tata Power Strategic Engineering Division.

The case for a single, merged air show

The five-day show will have exhibitors from the US, France, UK, Russia, Israel, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Ukraine, Singapore, Sweden, Spain, South Africa, Italy, the UAE, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, Canada, Australia, Poland and Greece.

Indian Air Force’s Sarang Team,the Surya Kiran Team, the Scandinavian Air Show Team from Sweden and the Evolvkos Aerobatic Team from the UK will perform aerobatics at the show.

Aero India, which began in 1996, has become one of the largest air shows in Asia. This show is followed by one in Abu Dhabi and most international players move on to showcase their military ware there over the weekend.

AERO INDIA FIRSTS: Seen for the first time at this year's show is the ADE R-UAV. Take a closer look. Seem familiar? That's right, that's a Chetak airframe. The R-UAV is the project that was spawned after the failure of Israel's IAI and HAL to prove the erstwhile NRUAV system based on the same platform. The R-UAV is being developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment, India's unnamed air systems lab in Bengaluru and will sport Indian sensors and systems. Ambitious. The Israelis failed at evolving an autopilot for deck based ops -- the Navy's principal requirement. Let's see if a fully Indian solution can deliver.
