Besides, the Mig-21 Bisons are also very capable aircraft and if upgraded again with Isreali help ..should be able to fly more. With t...

Considering an equal RCS on both Raffy and Rambha (say by composite use/ RAM coating), then sukhois should be able to detect katrina's curves at a greater distance and much before katrina thinks she has been bugged. of course, that is just my current understanding.

so far... the way the pattern is going...we are slowly maturing the su30 program by ordering more suz....building more experience with its equipment. Dassault is sceptical as to how much attention HAL facilities can be made available to properly absorb rafale tech and they are right on that point......
