Dude, that happened weeks ago, not “wednesday” ! What clock does this xairforces site of yours work by ? For gods sake this is ridiculous…

There are some news around that the americans are threatening India with sanctions if they do not reduce (give up?) oil imports from Iran. That got me thinking immediately at things like F414 for Tejas Mk2, P-8, Hercules , Apache etc etc .(possibly even israeli sourced stuff like Derby , radars and other etc. )

Will we see a repeat of 1998? Poor Tejas will be finding itself in the same trouble, again , if any of this happens.

14,500kgf of thrust ?! Blimey that would give quite some quick legs to Su-27SM, and the others too.

More thrust can never be bad.:)
