1 billion dollars for 24 trainers and some associated weapons they may impart just so that the yaks can be used as last ditch fighters? Oh well..not very smart.

You know when we go to buy vegetables and if purchase is good enough (Rs. 100-150), vegetablewalla gives some Corriander, Ginger and Chilli for free. Now for (FGFA) deal this big value, don't you feel Russia should throw in some 10-12 YAK 130 and couple of Simulators as freebies.
Just saying!

Compairing vegetables amounts 100 bucks at max with $30bn FGFA

It was EPIC

Well one way of looking at it is if we can't leave the temptation of getting freebies in a Rs. 100 deal, why spare USD 30 billion purchase.

On a serious note, with something like Hawk in its inventory and well defined into its training program, will it be really wise to go for an additional trainer? IMHO an OCU coupled with more exhaustive simulator training can get desired results at a much lower cost.

His point is that IDRW is absolutely the most jingoistic, hyperbole prone and inaccurate source wrt to such matters.

Oi! Bangla boy is a friend- don't poke him too much. He stops catching hilsa for me whenever he gets too perturbed.
