India rejects new Russian jets semi OT

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...

Not exactly off-topic for s.m.n. The Su-30MKI "super fighter" is an
equal opportunity machine, it wont discriminate between a radar site,
a fighter or a ship and will kill them all with equal aplomb. LOL!

Funny, I'd *like* my fighters to be able to tell which is which...

Although it would be somewhat interesting to kill a ship with an
air-to-air missile. "What in the hell was that cruiser doing at 30,000
feet?"

Shut up Kevin.

Still smarting over getting slapped about over your fictitious "NSA Secret"
clearance, huh Splapsy? Figured out what NSA stands for yet, Tarvernaut?

Nope, I gave a real answer and you were an idiot again, Kevin. You bring
nothing of value to these discussions, outside the humor over your complete
ignorance.

Well, he apparently joined the Air Force at 17, was in the Air Force for
six years (while getting that "NSA Secret" clearance), and then forgot
everything he ever thought he knew about planes...

Tarvernaut, are your lips moving? 'Cause you are definitely lying again, as
usual. You have continued to refuse to provide any evidence of this "NSA
Secret" clearance, or of what the alleged tie between the NSA and nuclear
weapons is. Here is another chance for you to clear those issues up; I won't
be holding my breath waiting for you to do so.

Well actually, right now we are part of Boeing's new 747 Amended Type
certificate.

You know, like a video game, only real.
