A decision on joint manufacture of a fifth-generation combat aircraft was also taken at a meeting of the commission on military-technical cooperation. Commenting on the decisions taken at the meeting of the commission, Klebanov noted that all the projects of cooperation between Russia and India till the year 2010 were clearly set forth in the final protocol, and new projects in the sphere of armoured vehicles had appeared. As the Vice-Premier said, new contracts on deliveries of arms in the fields of the Navy and air defence to India will be concluded in the immediate future. In particular, Russia will submit to India a project of building a whole complex of air defence installations.

Concept Design for Fifth Generation Fighter to Be Given to Customer at End of this Year
The fifth generation fighter concept design, as is provided for by the timetable, will be given to the customer – Russia's defense ministry – at the end of this year, the general director of the Sukhoy company, Mikhail Pogosyan, announced at a press conference at the Farnborough-2004 salon.
According to him, further periods for work on the program will be determined by the customer after examination of the results of the concept stage of the design. Moreover, further periods for realization of the program two a great degree will depend on how preparation of the state arms program for the period 2006—2015 goes, which will specify the priorities of the state defense order for the coming 10 years, including the fifth generation fighter.
Touching on the realization of the Sukhoy company's military programs as a whole, M. Pogosyan noted the program for upgrade of Su-30 airplanes "which has not been completed in its development, but it is growing steadily." A second trend, which is supposed to provide maintenance of Sukhoy's position in the marketplace in the period from 2006 and until the appearance of the fifth generation airplane is the Su-35 program. This program is supposed to integrate to a significant degree those technologies which are being perfected in the process of work on the fifth generation fighter.
One more trend, according to M. Pogosyan, is work on guaranteeing the requirements of the Russian Federation defense ministry. This, firstly, is the upgrade of operational Su-27, Su-24 and Su-25 airplanes in the Russian air force inventory. The first deliveries of upgraded aircraft for the Russian Federation air force began last year. The second priority program being realized in the interests of the ministry of defense is the Su-32 program. This is a strike complex which is intended for the resolution of a whole spectrum of missions connected with the destruction of ground and surface targets and also aerial combat.
As M. Pogosyan noted, the Sukhoy company is devoting serious attention also to the development of unmanned aerial vehicles.
"Such a broad range of directions of operations on the military theme are connected with the company's diversification strategy which is directed to a maximum degree at meeting market demands and reacting flexibly to those changes that occur in the worldwide marketplace for military aviation equipment," M. Pogosyan concluded.
