Folks,

Your not reading what I said Huh I said that if you are going to enter into an agreement with the United States to Purchase Arms then you must follow the rules THAT we set up if you sign the paperwork like India and Pakstane did to get the Sea Kings and F-16 which stated that they would not develope their Nuke to Bombs then when you violated the Contract you have to suffer the Consequence of ones action.

I fail to see how both Countrys find it hard to understand a very simple rule, which basically said don’t build Nuke Bombs and we will provide you with Arms and Support.

But thats not the subject of this Thread, it was should India buy 130J over anything the Russian have at this time. So unless someone can show me something the Russian are producing that will be in service with the same level of Part Supply and Tech help over the next 20 Years then I say its a good purchase buy the Indian Air force.

Why talk about other countries when US denied Sea King spares to India itself after Pokhran II.

Yerna1,

You make a blank statement without facts to support the reason why the US denied the spare parts for the Sea Kings.

Maybe it had to do with all the problems that India/Pakastan that was the reason. If you go and read some of the agreement that the US Congress has with Countrys you wil find that they have all sorts of counditions on Arms Sales.

Just as it is the property of its owner, and he can do with it what he wishes whilst we can all jump up and down, calling him all the names under the Sun, as it becomes an unattractive pile of corroded scrap.
How are you going to change his mind? Those telling the previous posters that they were being defeatist have not come up with a solution that might convince the owner to give up his property…

Flood,

As I’m no where close to knowing the UK Tax laws my sugesting was to offer him a Tax Right off but I’m lead to beleive that this might not be allowed in the UK.

Another approach would be just to ask him very nicely what would it take to have him give the airframe to a worthy museum. Or if he doesn’t want to give up ownership then how about hey Sir we would like to know if you mind placing your airframe on display at are Air Musuem their are ways to get things done.

Ok Then,

Stupid question here then, something must have happen either in 2001,2003 or 2004 so its safe to say something did happen between the two countrys why not send a link of this story to an independ new out let and let them try to figure it out.

I think we all can something did happen because the Syrians wheren’t looking in getting Anti-aircraft items from Russia and now they are pressing to get something.

I do agree that if the Israelis did shot down two Syrian Jets they would have released the gun camera stuff.

Plus I think the Syrians would have raised a Big Stink about it the World Media and of course the very Bias Arab TV stations would have run with it as a lead story.
