Great job getting all those pictures. Do you have any pictures of the Mig-19?

INK, there are many Nato countries which not only kept and upgraded their Soviet equipment, but even bought new stuff from Russia after joining Nato. Czech bought new Russian helicopters (Mi-35’s if I recall) just last year. Greece is also a major customer of Russian hardware. So being a member of Nato/EU does not mean you can’t buy Russian.

Cmon guys there is no way on earth they will buy anything Chinese, which they have never operated before, and which is of low quality anyways. I am already 99% certain what will happen: The Mig-29’s and Mig-21’s and J-22’s will fly until about 2012-15, and at that time will be replaced by whatever advanced multirole jet Russia has to offer, ie the PAK-FA.

Lavochkin La-250

Where did you hear that?

Only from another guy on another forum, so it may not be very reliable. 🙁

Any information about the indigenous industry? What is the status of the G-4M and G-4MD and the IBL-2004 and why hasn’t production of Lasta started yet? I heard that Serbia is going to overhaul 2000 R-60 missiles for India, anyone know more about that?

Mig-29’s were used to bomb Croatia with no losses despite presence of SA-18’s. Although they can’t carry PGM’s they can still carry a decent payload of unguided bombs and rockets.

…*checks calendar*…date shown…05/03/2006. Thats about 4 years away. Garry is talking as if things are happening NOW…SMTs and Su-34s and R-77s in service. In service where?? With what units?? No they’r not…

Ok so much for that…

Had you bothered reading past the first sentence you would have noticed the quote by the Russian AF commander where he says there are 10 Su-34’s in the AF.
