India Eyes Japanese Military Aircraft in $1.65bn Deal

India is poised to become the first country since the Second World War to buy a military aircraft from Japan, helping Tokyo end a self-imposed ban on arms exports and giving a boost to struggling Japanese defence contractors.
The two sides are close to signing an agreement for the ShinMaywa Industries’ US-2 amphibious aircraft, a deal worth about $1.65bn (£995m, €1.21bn), unnamed Indian officials told Reuters.
New Delhi could purchase at least 15 planes priced at about $110m, they added.
A deal could pave the way for a greater Japanese thrust into India, the world’s largest weapons market dominated for long by Russia and now open to Israel and the US.
The US-2 has a range of over 4,500 kms. Once acquired, the aircraft could be based in the Andaman and Nicobar island chain, near the western tip of Indonesia, allowing them to fly far into Southeast Asia.
Negotiations on joint production of the plane in India and other issues are expected to resume in March.
For now, a stripped-down civilian version of the US-2i search and rescue plane is being offered to Asia’s third-largest economy.
“There is a whole amount of defence-related cooperation, between India and Japan,” said Gautam Bambawalle, an Indian foreign ministry official responsible for North Asia.
“We want Japanese technology, we want Japanese capital investment into India,” Bambawalle added.

The ShinMaywa US-2 is an amphibious short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft manufactured by Japan-based ShinMaywa Industries. Designed for air-sea rescue missions, the US-2 is operated by the 31st Fleet Air Wing of the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF).
The ShinMaywa US-2 fleet is deployed across the remote islands of Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zones to provide surveillance and emergency medical transportation services. The aircraft can quickly reach remote islands and sites of maritime accidents during search and rescue (SAR) operations.
The US-2 amphibian aircraft was displayed at Defexpo India 2012. The aircraft has been offered to India in response to the Indian Navy’s global request for information (RFI) for nine amphibious SAR aircraft. The US-2 is the first Japanese aircraft to be offered to the Indian defence market.
Orders and deliveries
The ShinMaywa US-2 is an amphibious short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft manufactured by Japan-based ShinMaywa Industries.
The first US-2 commercial production aircraft was delivered to Japan’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) in February 2009. The fifth US-2 was delivered to the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force in 2011.
Design of ShinMaywa US-2 amphibious aircraft
The US-2 incorporates a flexible airframe design allowing it to be converted into a fire-fighting amphibian, passenger transport aircraft, or a multi-purpose amphibian. The wings and fuselage are made of composite materials. It features a pressurised cabin for high-altitude flights. The STOL technology based on boundary layer control (BLC) helps in very-low-speed operations.
The US-2 has a length of 33.3m, wing span of 33.2m, and a height of 9.8m. The empty weight of the aircraft is 25,630kg. The aircraft can carry up to 20 passengers or 12 stretchers.
