Hmmm we also know who had to arm twist and threaten singapore and korea to buy a flying junk like F-15. 😀
Which mean its good for India. If mig is desperate to sell, India will get TOT at its conditions, not to mention a better plane than the lawn-dart.
All the more reason why US planes will not be bought.
Doubt that IAF would settle for F-16. It has nothing to offer. If for some stupid reason it has to be an american plane get the F-18.
Hmmmmm wonder who takes the Bull and Bunkum Co-orperation seriously anyway.
I wonder if brazil now regrets not buying Su-35 instead of the old mirages. The mirages are no match for the Su-30’s.
I doubt a F-16 would ever find a way into the IAF stables. I can see a Mig-29/35 with israeli components though. The air chief is in russia and would be flying a mig-29. I think Mig will definitely get a share of the MRCA contract if not all. After all they are our partners for the fifth gen plane.
what do you mean? HE is obviously posturing for public consumption, so whats wrong with it?
I doubt US would need to worry about 24 Su-30’s, but ofcourse one Aircraft carrier goes down and the greatest megalomaniac dubya won’t see his rating go up ever.
Umm India currently has no experience with scorpene.
Algeria would have 28 Su-30MKA and 36 Mig 29 SMT. I doubt they would be too worried. May help russia secure a larger order though.
Not going to happen ever.
I am not sure about joe blow, but ask any average man and he would say the ruskies whacked some yankee butt in the space race.
What would greece do if turkey buys F-35’s? Go in for eurofighter? rafale? or russian 5th gen?
