    You don’t need to look at 21st Century wafare to realise that attack helicopters is vulnerable to MANPADS, AAAs or SHORADS, the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan during the 80’s demonstrated this. So if I have to chose, I would defintely go for multirole fighters but not attack choppers.

    True, I don’t see how New Zealand should waste its money on something that its not going to use, I mean, the country lie thousands of miles away from other countries so I doubt that some one would even bother invade NZ.

    Off course the Russians ain’t the only ones who could upgrade MiG-21s, but sometimes it has more to do with the diplomatic relations, it depends on the relations that one nation may have with the other, so you can’t always be choosy. Oh…and the cost involve is also a factor.

    Hamburger and plawolf,
    I don’t want to create more of these arguments but in some way there are similarities if you look on the surface, like the Sukhois and missile systems that China and Vietnam purchased. But there are more deals which were done behind closed doors.

    For example, the Ukraine agreed to deliver radar systems and R-27 missiles to Vietnam, did China got it’s missiles from the same source? NO

    still waiting for you to mention the Sovremenny purchase

    And while the Chinese is buying the Sovremenny destroyers, Vietnam is ordering new missile boats and looking at some guided-missile frigates. Now you can’t say theres a link in that?

    As for other projects, South Korea is upgrading Vietnam’s fleet of M-113 APCs, and India is doing the same thing for MiG-21s. So is vietnam copying China in anyway?
