Our respected Swerve seems to have lost his tamper here. Any respectable person like you trying to forge an opinion should see the problem under both aspects.

India might have been displeased with France allegedly under bidding in the MMRCA competition and then latter refusing to dully tackle the problem in time and by the horn (untill the signed deal b/w both governments – the Modi deal)*.

Just to clarify:

Vietnam Balance of Trade

Vietnam recorded a trade surplus of 280 USD million in April of 2016, up from 148 USD million a year earlier. and higher than preliminary estimates of a 100 USD million surplus. Exports were recorded at 14,350 USD million while imports stood at 14,070 USD million. In March 2016, trade surplus was recorded at 624 USD million. Balance of Trade in Vietnam averaged -408.15 USD Million from 1990 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 1444 USD Million in January of 2014 and a record low of -3888 USD Million in December of 1996. Balance of Trade in Vietnam is reported by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam.

The deficit with China stands around 25b$

And not related and IMOHO only, the perfect fighter buy (the most synergetic) would be with the Teja.

UAVs and manned aircraft carry out Spanish self-separation tests

“The drone’s remote pilot, [who] monitors the aircraft from the ground at all times, had the position data of both aircraft provided by an ADS-B receptor, thus improving situational awareness of traffic in the area,” said the company.

The inherent problem is with human operators. What happens when the ADS-B constant is manually entered incorrectly on the ground…

Definitively, not something you want to do with thousands of airliners flying around and soon, hundred of thousands of drones. This is madness… And laziness.
The ICAO should forbid this asap.

Some will assess it better than me but the logistic depot was burned from the inside. If there was no causalities as reported, they were really lucky indeed.

Some might get allergies and spots today. Have some compassion.

Because, presently, the “official instances” are handling this case on a transparent manner, right*? But so far, thanks to our Greek fellows, we have a beacon of light in the shadows.

More seriously, does any one knows if the pilot had a military career? The 90 turn and later spiral down will certainly speak to someone in uniform.

From SMH.com.au

He came from a family of pilots. One uncle was an air force captain. Two cousins, like him, flew for the national carrier, EgyptAir.

Or (Reuters)

critics say reforms [to implement long duration Battery and farther reaching ping frequencies in th Black boxes] have been held up before by bureaucracy and a lack of resources at the United Nations’ aviation agency, where a special panel on black boxes did not meet between 1998 and 2006 because it had no secretary.

As written much earlier, we are now all citizen of the air(lines). The day of the Kommitterns of experts are over. We need to understand that there is a need to implement our democratic rules in the skies also, for the better of both, the customer and the industry.

Emirates boss slams industry’s lack of commitment to aircraft tracking

“As far as aircraft tracking is concerned, it’s a disgrace,” Clark said at the IATA annual meeting.

From Reuters:

the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet said one of its patrol aircraft supporting the search had spotted more than 100 pieces of debris positively identified as having come from an aircraft, and passed the data to the Egyptian Navy.

Shouldn’t we have one single debris field?
