Brahmos and SU30 - paki's rear end aperture pains
Does anybody have a soothing balm for the paki's south end exit?


News Extract:
BrahMos Private Limited was established in India as a Joint Venture through an Inter-Governmental Agreement between India and Russia signed in February 1998. BrahMos is perceived as the confluence of two great nations represented by two great rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moscow of Russia.

Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) from India and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) from Russia form the joint venture partners of the Company.

The Company BrahMos endeavours to design, develop, manufacture and market the Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Systems with the participation of multiple Indian and Russian institutions and industries.

The Brahmos missile will be available for export to friendly countries when it will be ready for regular production by 2003. The foundation of the Joint Venture BrahMos is an example of integration and promotion of jointly developed high technology military products to the world market.

Re: What indian commanders also think of the SU30.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that the bureaucracy is a bunch of rear end apertures ( ) and I wish we could do away with them

But to point out some discrepancies:

the air to air refuellers have already been ordered,

the MKI is much much more capable than the M2000-5

the Su-30MKI is NOT available in the single seat form. And if it is it will not be as capable as the MKI.

I don't think China yet has 70-100 Su-27s/J-11s

China instead has already opted for Su-30MKKs, but they are much less capable tha the MKI...

New fighters are not prestige weapons. Pakistani Air commanders, for example, have publicly expressed deep concern over India's acquisition and co-development of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, commenting that the IAF's 40 Su-30 will have the same striking power as 240 older IAF aircraft, and far greater range and firepower than the Prithvi SSM. Indonesia and Malaysia have started negotiating the purchase of Su-30s, prompting interest from Singapore and other nations in a longer range western fighter to complement the F-16.
