The main difference is the reduction of RCS. THIS YOU CAN NOT DO on your lovely Yem kay yaiii.

The game is complex however the object is very clear. The Chinese control 2trillion dollars in bonds from the US. They want the US to cede control of the South China Sea to them. They twist US balls by threatening to call on the debt and collapse the US financially. The US needs to preempt that. Far off war with China in its backyard will never be feasible. So it needs a proxy to irk and occupy the Chinese and maintain the pressure on them. The advance towards India and other nations in the far East is towards this end. The smaller nations have expressed their inability to venture into the open against the Chinese. That leaves India. However the Indians I think will play their game of procrastinating while milking the US for marketing and services. That is why Pakistan is in the calculus and I feel they won't let go of Pakistan either and in case of Indians not playing ball they will be courting the Pakistanis again to irk India.Sir, you have stated pretty much what is happening. Who knows who is playing with whom and personally speaking, I can see that Rafal and US with make in India, would be like final push for bear to join others in this arena. French will never fall for just those 8b we all know and such price is a divergent though in both cases (French or US) we will be benefiting as well. The game is played well. So as I said, let the rival fall for it, we will be having what we need that too in shape of single stone for 2 birds. No matter what others says, our shopping depends on dire need, threat perception and reality and circumstances around and till then, enjoy the coffee. Furthermore, India's deals are going to change the shape of geopolitics as well.
Bhai.
We dont have the cash in hand or the market for the west to play ball with us. This is why we get dumped every time an end game is in sight. If we had money we ould have played the game a lot differently. However thanks to our corruption and piss poor fiscal management we are perpetually in someone,s laps. We are not bei g allowed to be the leaders of our own destiny.
Somehow to me the JFT seems to be the first step in that direction. If only we can conntinue to progress from there. The economic mess needs to be resolved. But who will do so is anyone's guess.

It is not that which is the problem. It is a matter of trust on the Russian side( I say this repeatedly we mauled them adly in Afghanistan and they will not forget it easily), cash on the Pakistani side( although can be overcome but for the first and last factor) and the major bug bear is the traditional delay in supplies from the russian side. The 35 is a beauty but other than monitoring of the sea lanes I dont see a huge benefit in having it.

I do not think Russians in general care about Afghanistan. They did not lose the Cold War because of Afghanistan.
Well that maybe true but me thinks Russia will not side up with a Muslim country as they have never truely done. There is an interview from 2 KGB agents about Russian involvement in Baluchistan in the 70s and 80s. Needs to be read to see how the Russian polity thinks. They kept their Arab allies with a tight noose round their necks and never supplied them enough armaments to win against Israel. And they openly admitted it. I think they hold a huge grudge against Pakistan and will demonstrate it in case they ever get a chance. The Pakistani policy makers on the other hand would like enough out of the Red bear to be able to stand on their own feet so sanctions/ delays will not matter and the Chinese will help them in this regards.I do not think Russians in general care about Afghanistan.

Frankly I don't see this game working out well for the US in the long run. Sooner or later it will have to retreat and the reason is going to be purely financial. China just has to keep flexing their muscles enough for the US to remain engaged and wait for the burden of forces to further weaken the US deficit.
The US offer of 16s manufacturing is a desperate attempt to wow the Indians. If you see it in perspective, it is technology which is still pertinent to be juicy enough for the Indians, yet not juicy enough to compromise US interests. They don't care if the French get screwed in the bargain and frankly the French deserve it as well due to their arrogant behaviour. Whether the Indians take a bite at the bait is something that remains to be seen. How much the Indians can wriggle out of the US will remain a point of discussion for some time and it will be dependant on the desperation of the US to engage India. For the same investment the US MAY WELL provide much more than what the French are offering and the black. 70 will be a good replacement for the outdated TEJAS and try to get others to make sense of the whole project as a learning exercise. Key technological transfers may well happen which may make things juicy enough for the Indians to bite. So a game is a fresh. Let's watch and enjoy.

The only thing which will change Russian perspective is if they get a land route through AfPak on to the warm seas which has been their aim all along. This is the game in Afghanistan which is why the US sits in the barren desolate God forsaken hell hole for them . This is the reason Afghanistan will not be allowed to settle down to contain the red bear.

In Pak,the general approach of our armed forces is..what needs to be done..they do it at all the cost....4.5 gen is a dire need of PAF..n if we start inducting these aircrafts..the supporting system will be automatically developed. And sooner or later, we need another platform, apart from 5th gen(as it will take atleast 7-10 years for PAF),so i think we have wasted so much time. also almost 8-10 years india took on deciding MMRCA..it was a golden opportunity for us to decide another fighter jet.this is not true for jet engines. as an engineer I look at electronic complex products. the role of final assembly and test is diminshing in value.
If you do not have the money to train and maintain on a piece of equipment do not bother buying it. that seems to be the philosophy of PAF. it seems like a sound approach to me.
Sir, this is really interesting scenario with numerous possibilities, so if French get a boot in India by US, then they will be more open to Pakistan and Rafales and other weapons systems can be made available to Pakistan on favourable terms. Though Pakistan will go for Rafale or not is altogether a different issue.Frankly I don't see this game working out well for the US in the long run. Sooner or later it will have to retreat and the reason is going to be purely financial.

Wow, Su-37 is the most maneuverable aircraft ever. It can maneuver out of your wish list even before you know it.
Congratulations though.
Its not about Su-35 but the latest entry Su-37. I have tagged it.Not again please or make another section for just SU 35
This is the latest news. SPUTNIK confirms it. Su-37 is surprising for me also.
