The Black Monk quoted from:
Malaysia's Arms Purchases Raise Eyebrows by BARADAN KUPPUSAMY KUALA LUMPUR — ............................. Malaysia was happy too — to get a squadron of advanced Sukhoi MK30 fighter jets, paying 270 million dollars of the 900 million Sukhoi deal in palm oil — the country's leading export. It looks like russia is about to start up, or increase it soap production I wonder if it will be hard laundry soap, for its dirty laundry, or toilet soap, or soft soap ? -- Rostyk |

This should give you some idea why jets like the Gripen, Eurofighter and Rafale can seem to sell for diddly. In the past 10 years, they've probably sold for export 20 aircraft between the three of them. Germany came real close to bailing out of the Eurofighter program. If it wasn't for India, Russia wouldn't sell anything either.

Looks like Stinky has seriously taken the bait 8-) Get ready for a replay of 'my jet is better than our jet ...' OR retrieve your Archives and join the party 8-) -- Rostyk |

The question is training method and quality of the pilots. Are they able to
work independently? Tied to ground controllers? Well trained on their planes and equipment? What weapons are on the planes? Good radars and missiles or "export versions?" And what generation are the respective planes? If it is an out and out fight I go with F-22A. Best balance. I would want the pilot to be the best, though. One of the deadliest North Vietnamese aces, Col. Tomb, flew a MiG-17. DEP |

The quality of the pilot is much more important than the quality of the fighter. The nature of the engagement is also more important than the quality of the fighter. It may well make sense to say that one fighter is better than another, but quantifying it with expected loss ratios is pointless. -- David H.
