Iranian AF MiG-29A:

India is an emerged economy (as per BRIC) and with a burgeoning middle-class of some 300m+, she doesn’t need to concern herself with the needless WMD chest-beating of her neighbour with a

more rural society still.

India should be preparing herself to take her rightful place @ the G10 within as little as 5 years (ironically displacing her former imperialist master :D:D:cool:;):p).

She doesn’t need to engage with tyranical, fanatical (religious or other) failed states, who’s only contribution to the World is nuclear blackmail.
As for her immediate vicinity, the Afghanitan-Pakitan question can be left to the Obama-nation.

Is the IAF’s Su-30MKI N-capable?

Hello S-400 :), Bye-bye Pakitan :diablo: (:p)

But seriously, I doubt the Ruskies would sell the full-on Russian S-400 version to the Saudis. It’ll probably be that Almaz-Antey/Thales/S.Korean jv version.

…but with India- being best buddies & all…:)

Rajan, these pics were taken during refueling trials late summer last year, though many have only been recently published. Which means they’re of the first batch.

This one’s my favourite, beautiful no? why aren’t those guys wearing their TopOwl-Fs? it was integrated ages ago.

…on the topic of ‘Game Changers’ :diablo:

doing what ? we hang out in the PAF thread for less than a few hours, point out a few facts and they cannot stand it, whereas Insig and Rimmer have been trolling on this thread since its start.

21Ankush, you’ve been a very naughty boy. The Pakitan Air Force’s ‘game-changers’ for Waziristan should not be any concern of yours!

Now occupy yourself with tons of MiG-29K/KUB pics:
