Yeah right. Let PRC make a move against korea…:rolleyes:
My mistake, I meant 200 odd fighters. Malaysian Mig-29’s are grounded due to pilot shortage and F-18A/B and Su-30 alone are not much of a threat.
40 rafales will not hold up against 300 Su-30’s even if its only the MKK version. The J-10 will only help bolster the numbers that ROKAF will face. If things sour between the two expect US to intervene with F-22’s. I seriously doubts malaysia or indonesia’s capability to take on RSAF. 18 Su-30’s even if they are MKM cannot hold up agains nearly 200 F-16 blk 52’s supported by E-2’s. Indonesia has what 6 Su-30’s? Anyway if I understand right singapore has some sort of defense pact with both US and India.
It is politics but F-15 is sufficient for the needs of Korea and Singapore till F-35 becomes available to them in a decade or less. Korea does not need F-15’s to take on NK and Singapore does not need F-15’s to deal with malaysia. Nobody else is really threatening them and anyway this is a follow on deal for the aircraft they already purchased. It would be dumb of them to go for 12 F-15’s and 12 Rafales anyway.
No itsnot that bad but compared to Russia, israel or france its next to nothing.
They could do a OHio on the typhoons and arm them with lot of Kh-101/102’s.
I am guessing all 5 Delta IV’s will be upgraded while the Delta-3’s will get replaced by Borei’s.
Good Good, but I remember reading that the first one will carry 12 and the rest 16. How many Borei’s are planned? Are they to be the only SSBN’s for russia?
Militarily India doesn’t have any relation or has very little with Syria or Iran. Palestinians need to first sort out their internal issues. I had heard rumors of pilot exchanges a few years back but never expected it to come out in the open.
I am not sure IAF or IDF would announce something like this publicly. It just giving more ammo to the commies.
The unit price is about 142mil per aircraft compared to $230 milion for C-17.
More like 36.6 mil but costly never the less.
Now with India walking out of the nuke deal with US does it improve the chances for certain aircrafts? Rafale mainly?
What is the length of this missile? Can the flanker series carry 2 or 3 of these?
