Really, all this proves is that money can buy you anything.

Emmm,,, judging Indian airlift requirements, weren't C-5 more suitable?

How so? It has no "short take off and landing" capabilities, which further reduces the number of suitable airstrips in and around India, especially in the northern regions and it's even more costly. Not to mention that India don't transport such high loads to great distances, like the US or NATO countries.
