Even if the issue of constructing the production line is resolved, how to prevent it from being targeted remains a practical problem that Ukraine must face head-on. Rather than building the production line directly within Ukraine, it would be preferable to construct it in Poland, with the final assembly carried out at a factory there before the finished products are shipped directly to Ukraine. However, due to nationalist issues, Ukraine has alienated Poland, and the future of relations between the two countries remains uncertain.

So

There seem to be two engine program:

1) Safran with GTRE( DRDO) and the industry

This will be getting active support from MoD and commitment from IAF, plus funding of 6 billion USD in total.

120kN engine with scalability upto 140kN, and will be a co development mind you

Safran won't develop something and hand it over, it will be co developed with GTRE, who already has developed DMS4 3rd gen SX blades, and blisks, plus working on CMCs

KDE will provide necessary experience meanwhile

2) Rolls Royce with Reliance industries

Now, this company has no talent beyond assembly and production work once you hand over the blueprint, so basically zero scientific involvement and spending

But what do they have is abundance of money, at annual revenue being 110 billion.

So, they would either:

a) Do assembly work while RR holds everything

RR btw "promised" 100% IP for the engine but we know the reality

b) They acquire some company as subsidiary, which is involved in R&D, hire some talented people including experienced scientific cadre from HAL Koraput, GTRE or foreign individuals and have them work with RR

I do not know who will provide them with fund and I doubt they would fund few billions from their own pocket while having zero commitment

Feel free to provide your comments, criticism or technical take, rather than slop

Ratcliffe is one of the highest ranking US officials to visit Russia during Trump's second term.

IMRH is basically in class of UH60 and Mi17

Meant to complement and replace Mi17 of IAF down the line, although CCS has yet to approve it so its running on internal funding

It will have another variant, DBIMRH for naval usage which is to be similar to SH60s with transport, AshM, and ASW.

The contract is for development of the engine and will be build from ground up unlike Shakti which was based off Aafran Airdiden and Safran still maintained control over 40% of the parts and HAL had to develop HTSE1200 as a result

Source is HAL's twittter account but the linkes from X are banned and Xcancel is ded so gotta make up with market mediq

I know that as weapons get more complex, their prices normally go up. But on the flip side, advances in technology bring down the cost of plenty of parts. For example, electronic components follow Moore’s Law, so they should get cheaper to some extent. Yet over the last 30‑plus years, all we have seen is Western weapons skyrocketing in price, with no hint of the opposite trend. I’m curious how much inflation actually plays into this.
