This is nonsense. The avionics on the MKI were NEVER of Russian origin
(they were on the MKs but the IAF has 0 of these in service today). The MFDs AND HUD are manufactured in INDIA by SAMTAL under JV with ELBIT (an ISRAELI firm)
.
This stinks of BS, there would be no reason to be sending letter to Moscow, if anything it would be to the Israeli OEMs (if not just SAMTAL themselves).
I'm gonna call this as I see it- fabricated news.
Wouldn't be surprised if there was a Pakistani hand in this- they are the ones who fabricated reports about Ecquador wanting to send back their ALHs when one crashed due to pilot error a few years a back (news was found to be false after both the Ecuadorians and Indians stated this was patently false), they also created fake Wikileaks about India and then lately were behind the SMS harassment storm pertaining to NE Indians in Bangalore.
Maybe this propaganda is a new front in Pakistan's proxy war against India, I don't know.....
@
Aeronaut maybe, instead of revelling in this, you should look over this "news"
with the same scrutiny you would if this had been a report on the F-16's or JFT's HUD/MFDs of the PAF? Just a suggestion.....
