seems you guys are tired of the Russian hardware.

nemesis2u:
30+ billion dollar of prospective business that too only combat aircrafts and tired of Russian hardware.

problem and differences exists like the cargo plane under development where india wanted to include a engine with FADEC as it increases safety and reliability , but Russians did not want to, so the project stalled .

but sir lot many of million dollar deals happen away from the public eye which u will never know , also India recently ordered 2 billion worth of tanks from russia and another 3 billion worth of equipment's (russia and israel) on a emergency basis.

what about the civilian trade ?
russians sold so many reactors to india and in return they gave us lot of restricted technology.

why do u think russia allows india to undertake joint development of weapons like brahmos , S400 etc and provides consultancy for nuclear submarines , SLBM , nuclear command and control ( includes US also) , nuclear silos etc.

but russia restricts many of their tech to their close ally. why ?

india was operating S300VM even before it come into russian service .


now sir tell me this
ur a fan of russia ?
or a fan of russian military equipments ?
or a fan of mr. putin ?
or a fan of vodka and garlic pickle (forget the russian name) ?
or a fan of the pretty russian gals ? (cant blame u on this one )

PAKFA

giles14:
just so much in love with this bird.

hope it performs to expectation

nemesis2u:
will have to wait for the article 30 engine development to finish and its integration to PAKFA.

plus its stealth features has to be refined further among other things before any verdict can be delivered of the final PAKFA version .

lot of work is left to be done .

the economic sanctions and to a small extent indias reluctance to release funding has slowed down the work , that is why they r ordering the SU 30 , SU35 in larger numbers

Is the PAKFA a dying venture

jakeporeshenko:
The PAKFA is born out of necessity, the Russians have to counter their "enemies" in the west who are now flying 5th generation fighters like f-35's JSF, f22 raptor and even China with its J-20. Russia's 5th generation fighter program cannot be abbandoned even if it means getting onboard a second partner.
