*Brazil could make Russian new-generation fighters under license*

*MOSCOW, April 7 (RIA Novosti)* - *Russia *may allow *Brazil* to produce its
fifth-generation fighters under a license in the future, a senior Russian
government official said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"We are discussing with the well-known Brazilian company Embraer the
transfer of technology and the construction of facilities for the future
licensed production of the aircraft, including the fifth-generation
fighter," said Alexander Fomin, deputy director of the Federal Service on
Military-Technical Cooperation.

Russia's advanced multirole fighter is being developed by the Sukhoi
aircraft maker, part of Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), along
with India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), under a preliminary
intergovernmental agreement signed in October 2007.

The first prototype is scheduled to make its maiden flight before the end of
2009.

Last November, Russia and Brazil signed a series of agreements on military
technology cooperation which emphasize the protection of intellectual
property rights and technology secrets.

The agreements will facilitate the transfer of technology and the licensed
production of the Russian aircraft in Brazil if Moscow decides to sign a
contract with the South American country.

Meanwhile, Russia's Su-35 jet fighter is participating in an ongoing tender
for the delivery of over 100 fighters to the Brazilian Air Force.

"We are actively participating in the Brazilian tender, which has been
reopened. It involves over 100 fighter planes. Russia has made a bid in the
tender with its Su-35 multirole fighter. The tender has stiff requirements,
involving not only the sale, but also the transfer of technology. It is a
key condition of the deal and Russia is ready to satisfy it," Fomin said.

Brazil wants a multirole fighter to protect its national airspace as well as
to keep track of smugglers in the Amazon basin and guard the country's
offshore oil rigs. However, it also wants the multi-billion dollar contract
to reenergize the domestic defense industry through home-grown production
and as much technology transfer as can be afforded.
