    lol, what the hell do Australians know about nuclear attack sub production? Severodvinsk is more impressive than anything military that’s ever come out of Australia. 😮

    No offense to the Ausies around here.

    Strategypage is known for articles that sound like a mentally challenged child wrote them.

    For example:

    Baltic Fleet, specifically units in Kaliningrad, will receive first S-400 before end of the year. S-200 will be phased out as S-400 is filled out. PVO crews from Baltic Fleet have been undergoing firing training on the Triumph.

    The Gosplan through 2020 includes the purchase of 56 S-400 divisions, with 8 launchers per unit. 😮

    In total MOD will receive 60 PVO complexes in 2012.

    Well hasn’t China been supposedly working on a replacement for the RD-93? Given how long that has been going on, the massive (compared to Ukraine) resources they can throw at it, and the indigenous factor, I would be pretty shocked if they 1.) Would be interested in a Ukranian JF-17 solution or 2.) Would not be able to make a similar product in a faster time frame.

    I see Progress is getting ahead of themselves. Their first after burning production engine is a nice accomplishment, but a new engine will take time.

    “3- The Gripen has serious weaknesses and is considered as a step back compared to the F/A-18 operated by the Swiss Air Force.
    “The performance of the Gripen in air-air engagements as well as attack missions was insufficient”
    “The most limiting factors of the Gripen design were the operating time, the flight performance and the maximum weapon load”

    Uhh…was this really said? Step back from Hornets…:confused:

    Yes but how many of those RUaF planes are actually flying?

    I was talking about flying ones, obviously.

    No offence but if the Rafale was the best fighter money can buy, Dassault would have a shed load of orders despite the latter’s ability the make a potential deal to go **** over t*t.

    x2. You would think SOMEONE would appreciate these world beating qualities.

    In these several years, PLAAF & PLANAF have added more than 100 J11B/BS, that put number of Flankers in PLA service more than 400, a heavy fleet size only next to that of USAF/USN combined.

    Um, what? RuAF has about that many heavy planes (even if we are just talking about fighters).

    Russian military sources say the cruise has nothing to do with the political situation, yet it’s conspicuous why they’d send one of their largest, most formidable battle groups there now…

    And a relevant snippet for the Indian Navy,

    Kuznetsov getting ready.

    Not sure if I believe the MiG-29K thing though.

    Don’t know, but it was trialed on the Su-34 a little while back. Supposedly very accurate.
