Say GROO PIE… Indian told the same about having chai (cofee) in Lahore… That was shorter distance. They never had chai. Andf I have to say that I have more respect tfor Indians then your failed experimental soldiers in Chechnia and Afghanistan. And I doubt that a country wich murdered almost every chechen can look outside its border without realising that their communism was the worst invention ever… Just remember Stalin.. He even opted for Germany… We all know how much Russian had to pay that with their precious blood…

Talking about a pride nation with economy based on crime and you know what… Your forces are almost bankrupt and stay alive with wodka and foreign aid from India and Russia. Don’t get to excited about other developing nations. It is mtter of time before Russia is nothing more then history… How are your fanatic groups these days? Almost same atttude and intellect as hitler jugens damals…

No I am not. Just intrested. Why else would I be so active? Just to flame? I don’t think so…

So do not start advicing other to ignore cause they are smart enough to decide… Let us move on… Here the details:

According to the agreement, India will have to make an advance payment of around $350 million within 45 days.

“The first delivery will take place after 44 mo-nths, the second after 53 mo-nths and the third after 59 months,” said a defence ministry official.
India , Russia and Israel had signed a tripa-rtite agreement for AWACS in October 2003. “The deal to-ok long as we wanted AWACS tailored to our specifications,” said a source.

With AWACS, India has purchased a spectrum of air defence and surveillance systems from Israel , which includes Aerostat radars, ‘Sea-rcher-II” and “Heron” UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and the advanced “Green Pine” fire-control radar (which can detect and track incoming missiles from around 500 km away).

About FT2000… It is more tested and known model then the L15… And L15 is all commercial idea of the company while FT2000 is more government action with probably export secured by Pakistan.

Any upgrades for the Indian planes (past or future)?

I would rather say it is a mix with FT-7 (large dorsal fins) and PG wings. But the wings are not the same! No flaps.

Don’t attack me. I am allways extremely positive about IAF (planes and pilots) and even defend the Bison. But I am constructive about it… Not flaming only…

You are actually intrested? Man, I feel honoured. wait. If you ask a pilot then he will never tell you about losing battles. Strange since winning means that the other lost. It is comparable with fundmanagers that allways love to tell about 200% profit… But never tell about losing a lot more… Indian airforce is not an average. I do believe that. It has nice material and probably enough money (I do think we can skip that cause they buy almost every option these days) to get decent pilots. But to say that they are superior to everything. I am not sure and I do not believe pilots cause every pilot thinks he is the best and his plane is the superior… But thanks for listening.
