By the end of the year, Russia will supply the first foreign customer with a launch batch of the latest X-59MKM aviation concrete-piercing missiles, capable, in particular, of destroying the enemy's protected underground control points, a military and diplomatic source told RIA Novosti.

"The first serial batch of the latest X-59MKM air-to-surface missiles will be delivered to a foreign customer by the end of this year, and final product tests are being conducted now. The missiles have unique characteristics in terms of the ability to penetrate the protection of various military structures" – the agency's interlocutor said.

The source explained that the missile is designed to hit protected stationary objects with previously known coordinates and has an additional powerful multicomponent cumulative preload in the new part to break through concrete floors, a target or a layer of earth behind which the object is hidden. The mass of the main warhead of the rocket is 320 kilograms. The X-59MKM is equipped with an inertial control system with satellite correction.

The new rocket in the export version was first presented at MAKS-2021.

Russia is winning back exports from the United States.

According to the agency's interlocutor, the results of the international exhibitions MAKS-2021 and Army-2021 last summer demonstrated that "Russian military products have not lost popularity in the weapons market and, on the contrary, interest in them is growing in certain market segments." "We can say that there is a tendency to win back our positions from the main competitor-the United States" – the source added.

Earlier, Rosoboronexport reported that following the results of "MAKS" and "Army", the company signed new arms contracts worth more than 3 billion euros. Among other things, agreements were signed for the export of Su-30 fighter jets, Mi-35M/P, Mi-171SH and Mi-17V-5 attack and military transport helicopters, for the Pantsir-S1/S1M anti-aircraft missile and cannon complex, Verba anti-aircraft systems, Krasukha and Repellent Patrol electronic warfare systems, Kornet-EM anti-tank missile system, remotely controlled combat modules, weapons for ships and submarines, small arms, ammunition and aviation ammunition.

Following the results of the exhibitions, Russia signed the first contracts for the supply of its attack drones abroad.

As Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, clarified at Army-2021, following the results of the forum, Russia agreed contracts with China on maritime issues, with India on land issues, as well as with Armenia, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Belarus. In addition, the Ministry of Defense reported that an important agreement on military cooperation was signed at the Army exhibition with one of the key players in the Middle East arms market — Saudi Arabia.

To date, the volume of the current Russian portfolio of export defense orders is more than $52 billion. According to preliminary estimates, the volume of Russian arms exports in 2021 will amount to about $15 billion.

AIM-120 AMRAAM's cost over $2M each.

I understand why india wants to buy Israeli stuff instead

What are the odds that I-Derby ER will be cheaper and/or perform any better than the R-77?
Israel didn't even produce long range air to air missiles until a few years ago, and the I-Derby ER isn't in service with the IAF(Israeli Air Force) either.

R-77 isn't really good. Indians have tested it a lot just like Russians and no one seems happy with it.

And the export version must be really shitty since its old, soviet made export monkey version and we all know they didn't trust anyone so export version were always very different than local ones.

I would understand 1 million for r-77-1 and even then I would consider it expensive. But r-77 is not worth that much.

Yet they both buy it and use it... India with this order and Russian aircraft with R-77s in Syria.

Russia could sell advanced S-500 anti-aircraft missile launcher to China & India despite potential US ire, 02/11/2021.

A high-tech new Russian air defense system that has sparked fears for NATO warplanes could soon be shipped to China and India under the terms of new export deals being considered by military-industrial bosses in Moscow.

Speaking to business daily RBK on Tuesday, Dmitry Shugaev, the director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said that deploying the advanced S-500 launcher to the country’s own defense forces would be the first priority. However, “when the system has been delivered to the Russian Army in the required volume, it will also be possible to supply it for export,” he said.

“We consider India, as well as China, and all the states with which we have long-standing and predictable partnerships, as potential future owners of the system,” Shugaev went on. The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the first of the S-500 anti-aircraft launchers would be handed over to combat troops in the next few years, under plans to modernize the country’s military equipment.

Moscow has touted the S-500 as the most advanced weapon of its kind, capable of taking out high-speed warplanes and even, potentially, hypersonic weapons in near-Earth orbit. Putin has previously described the launcher as “unique.”

However, exports of Russian rocket technology have caused concern in the US, with Washington slapping tough sanctions on countries that placed orders for the system’s predecessor, the S-400. Even Turkey, a NATO member, has faced restrictions and been shut out of American procurement programs in response to its decision to explore purchasing the launcher.

General Tod Wolters, of the US European Command, and NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has said the system would “attempt to exploit the F-35’s capabilities,” regardless of which side of the battlefield it was on. “You cannot operate an F-35 in the vicinity of an S-400,” he said, despite reports that the Israeli Air Force has flown the jets close to the missile launchers in Syria with no issues.

“You cannot operate an F-35 in the vicinity of an S-400,” he said, despite reports that the Israeli Air Force has flown the jets close to the missile launchers in Syria with no issues.

So the problem is only when the friendly force operates S-400 with F-35s, so clearly the problem is that the S-400s reveal information the US does not want is allies to be aware of... perhaps how low their level of stealthiness they actually have?

The claimed high level of stealth is why they cost so much to buy and to operate, but if operating S-400s reveals the stealth level is not high enough to keep you safe then their allies might wonder why they are buying such expensive and limited performance aircraft... (slower, shorter ranged, less payload than previous gen fighters like the Falcon.
