No Munshi bhai, I didn't hear about the Russian experts Indian commandos/experts coming in, care to shed some light as to why they are?

Yea, deckingraj is right about this, why would Russians operate our SAMs? Training us to operate them is acceptable and expected for us to get to know how to operate the system at first, but letting them operating the SAMs for us goes against the "sovereignty" that we hold so dear and try to...

Current AL gov't probably will not buy from Pakistan. Besides, Pak themselves don't have many yet and are still procuring and our air force is already lagging so we can't wait very long. Anyone have an idea about how much money for the air force?
