First stage of negotiations between India and Russia on developing a fifth generation fighter jet (FGFA) together is over, an official has said.
Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec Corporation, said this on Tuesday, adding that a final decision might be made in the “near future”.
Asked about the negotiations, on the sidelines of 13th International Aerospace Show MAKS, Chemezov also said the progress was slow as the project and its negotiations are very “complicated”.
“As for the fifth generation, the work is underway. Stage one of negotiations is over. Now, we are discussing the second stage,” Chemezov said.
“I think that in the near future, all decisions will be made. And the contract documents will be signed,” he said.
