With all due respect, I haven't seen anyone being so devoid of reality like you while making comments in PDF. So, please have your head exam by ASAP! And do you have any idea about the concept of product's life cycle's cost? Ruskie's fighters sometimes overrun Westerner's one by it. Just compare Grippen C with SU-30s to find it out. BTW, SU-30 or MIG-35 isn’t that cheap compare to Grippen or F-Solas either. So, learn the fact before stroking on keyboard, understand?
The Su-30 is more comparable to the F-15. MiG-35 to the F-18 Super Hornet.
Now, it's big news for me that SINOS don't have the capacity at least before 2020. Dude, have U heard J-10 beating SU families 10 out of 10 times in mock WVR's combat? And that was the early J-10's story, which evolved to J-10B lately. Here is Ruskie's admission about J-10's superiority (
Russian aviation journalist says J-10 better than both Mig-29 and Flanker. - Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums), so get enlightened.
Where does it say that J-10 is superior to the Su-30? Again, they are completely different class of fighters.
The J-10B is a nice plane to be honest. An absolute thorough dog-fighter. But I doubt if Bangladesh would be getting access to it for quite some time. And once again, they'd be powered by Russian engines.
Then there is JF-17, which has been constantly thundering to become more potent. Just visit J-17 thread of PDF before making a fool out of yourself again. Also J-20's prototype has been flown. Compare to all, what new fighter has RUSKIE come up with in last 15 yrs? Even their PAK-FA concept has evolved from early legacy-SUs. So, what are you smoking?
Did you know that Myanmar is also a candidate customer for the FC-1?
Yes, the PAK-FA does have resemblance to the Flankers. But so does the F-22 to the F-15. Does that mean the Americans are behind in terms of technology compared to the Chinese?
Finally, it's wasting time to response to your comment about me being naive as the profundity of your strategic-thinking is next to zero, IMO. Just ask Kalu Bhai about shaitan Hindutavya-wala's domineering plan to link it with shoving SUs through our throat.
You still didn't answer my question. How does the sale of Russian-made Su-30s benefit India?
Perhaps it is you need a head exam? Or maybe you've been living abroad for too long? I can see this trend of pseudo-Islamists living abroad making such type of comments.
It is understandable that there is some sort of foreign conspiracy going on in Bangladesh. But then, it is the Bangladeshis (Awami League and their lackies) who are working with those foreigners to best safeguard their individual interests, and not for the nation.
And frankly, neither did the previously ruling BNP/Jamaat admin made any serious attempts at addressing the issue of national security.
Notice those Indians "looking for jobs" in Bangladesh came in like droves even during the BNP/Jamaat admin? It wasn't always about jobs
You don't need expensive, high-end military gear to contain that.
There are reasons why Jamaat never made any significant difference in the political landscape of Bangladesh, apart from their individual interests of-course.
The people with the power put their individual interests before that of national.
And frankly, no one cares what India thinks. It is the people in power in Bangladesh who won't or can't take care of the country's national security interests.
