Nobody is waiting for war scenes… US presidential elections are probably the best reason. 😀

>>>The simple fact is that Russians were operating under restricted rules of engagement. Pakistan took advantage of that. The resulting turkey shoot is only a little more accomplished than India shooting down that Atlantic.

Funny that my nationality seems to be important. Shows depth of understanding of some posters. About Russian under restrict rules. Go read ACIG report. With multiple planes bombing over the Pakistani border has nothing to do with restrictions… Which part is missing? Pakistani planes did not cross the border. The Russians run fast over the border to kill some badly trained footsoldiers…

About Atlantique… I see a difference in a maritime training aircraft (maybe on a mission over the swamps) and su25 loaded with bombs doing the same as the other hundred sovjet planes did in Pakistan…

Great Russia now has to find currency to breath another day. Just look at the great navy… It is either on the bottum of the ocean or rusting in the harbours. We all know that flying time of the Russian pilots is not that high anymore.

I just hope that people from bigger nations start understanding that they are not that special. We all are here for aviation. Not for showing that one is bigger then the other. I rather accept depression then disillusion… I go for reality. 🙂

Why should I be jeaulous? I am happy to see India buying another exotic aircraft. It makes my heart happy anyway. You should try to understand that I love planes. As long as they are not misused I am happy to see them. I do agree with Arthur. Will India get not in trouble with so many and so divers planes? I do hope the economy will keep growing. It is a good example how they did that.

F35 damn expensive but not good enough…
