Of this amount, 60 billion rupees ($ 1.2 billion) will be spent for the purchase of Brahmos aircraft missiles to be installed on the Su-30MKI. The missiles are produced in Russia at Russian-Indian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace.

However, in the tender for the purchase of 15 heavy helicopters, India opted for the American CH-47F Chinook instead of the Russian Mi-26. The cost of the tender is 1 billion 400 million dollars. U.S. helicopters CH-47F by Boeing will replace helicopters of Soviet production in the Indian Air Force. India purchased them in the mid 1980s.

But we do not have the information yet," the press service of Rosoboronexport said.
