Re: The Jan Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare, and Baba Ramdev

It is right to be skeptical to what AH's version of the bill, it is OK to question his methods. It is definitely right to doubt most (not all) of the people who are supposedly supporting him (Harsh Mander et all). But then this moment is not about AH or the bill, it is about the Janta that a clown p...

Re: Indian Military Aviation

The last 42 (or 40) was for the Strategic command, vastly different than the MKI (or so it is rumoured). That may explain the very high cost. Still the current cost of MKI floating around (sourced fro CAG and other sources) is around $45 million. Not to say that it would have chnaged over the years....

Re: Indian Military Aviation

One way to look how bad the deal is, for this amount, we could have baught brand new 51 SU30MKI (more capable than 51 upgraded mirages) and kept our 51 un upgraded mirages.

Though I think with all the uncertainity with MMCRA, delayed Tejas, risk with Tejas MK2, M2000 delayed, having another 50-100 SU30MKI will not be a bad idea. SU30MKI needed 2 pilots is a old n...
