They were also building J-10 when they decided to buy su-30. I just doubt the J-12 will be in the same league thats all. What size is J-12 going to be? Are there any specs available then please post them.
What is good numbers? India would certainly want some of them. Say 100 ordered by 2010. RuAF will order at least another 100. China may or may not order a few. Order for 200 is a good start. Slowly other countries will follow. The main thing will be cost. F-22 is a no no for any country other than US due to the ridiculous cost. If the Pak-Fa can be offered for anywhere around or less that 100 mil a plane then it will find a healthy market.
I know dubya. I am just trying to rile phantom. :). I would take a su-30 over any F-16 though.
Algeria does not have any su-30’s currently. They are looking to purchase some from russia with the same config as Su-30MKI. They also want more mig 29’s.

Found this on the net. But am not quite sure if it is true. It would be surprising if India agreed access to mumai and vizag.
Yup phantom. It’s sad to see a great product like su-35 being turned down for a plane that is half as capable. But every cloud has a silver lining. Thank God they didn’t go for any piece of crap like F-16 or F-15.
mirage 2000 is definitely way inferior to su-27 or 30. Probably better than the american piece of crap F-16. 🙂

By quality sure, except the sovs the chinese navy is pretty much a coastal navy even today.
Hmmm wow at this rate Pn will destroy itself on its own. No need for India to lend a hand. PAf would of course play a lead role in that. :rolleyes:
The PN ships are a worthless lot that would really find a place of honour in any scrap yard around the world :).
Err what missile system? Harpoon, excocet and chinese crap?? Do you think they even compare with klub or brahmos. LOL, you are pathetic just like PAf and PN.
LOL russian systems are rugged and would last longer under tropical conditions than UK or french made jokes. Wow this idiot never tires of bull****ting. The Uk, french pieces of joke that PN still operates would put the french and royal navy to shame. So when were the Amazon class frigates thrown out of RN?
The class of PN and PAf is evident from the bashing they took in 71. The PAf not only managed to straff PN ships but also proved completely useless in defending Pakistan. The less said about Pn the better, they seem to have a habit of having accidents on their tankers and ramming into foriegn ships. They probably need high quality stuff 🙂 from china. The Uk and french products seem too obsolete for them to handle..LOL LOL.
The indian coast guards have newer ships compared to the fishing fleet called PN. The 2000 tonn vikram class was last bought in 2003 and 3 new pollution control vessels have been ordered, 3000+ tonne.
Oh did I hear some ne talk about quality, hmmm I suppose chinese crap-22 frigates must be the best quality, latest generation frigates out there, probably even better than lafayette or talwar class since the Mighty (LOL) PN has ordered them on loan.
well other than the agosta-90 the rest of the PN navy would be put to shame by Indian coast guard. Oracle is just spewing out hot air.
Would you like to post some news where foreign sailors have behaved in such a fashion in any other country? Especially with school girls. I remember some US soldiers being accused in korea or japan, but other than that??
To embarress PN, you just need to list there ships and ages. 🙂 sorry couldn’t resist.
