India rejects new Russian jets semi OT
wrote in message ... India has refused to accept a new batch of Russian Sukhoi combat jets because of a high rate of engine failure in earlier batches bought as part of one of the country's largest arms deals, a newspaper said on Sunday. The Sunday Express reported the air force had also suggested to the Indian defense ministry to stop further payments to Rosvooruzheniye, Russia's state arms exporter. The deal to buy the fighters and make dozens more under license is estimated to be worth about $5 billion. Oh, and allegedly SH has been captured. Could be an interesting day This would be better posted to RAM, where it might "cool the jets" (so to speak) of the more vociferous "Su-30's are super fighters" crowd a bit... Brooks |
