The bad news is we just wasted $800m to buy this F-16 JUNK. it can be used to buy 9 SU 35 instead and then the F 5 replacement we select the Typhoon Captor E. So we have both SU 35 and Typhoon.
Whose idea is it to purchase the 24 F-16 JUNK???
How can you say its a junk? only one accident and the aircraft is a junk?
how about newer Indian Su-30 MKI that falls down like a mosquito almost on monthly bases? does it give us the right to say Sukhoi is a junk?
Cant understand people who make this accidents as a material to mock up the F-16 C/D procurement process.
Unless we have 7 - 10 squadrons of Sukhois, the lost of one F-16 doesnt really matters.
But if you take look at our current condition, we need quantity as much as quality.
About the Super Flanker, even Vietnam the most experience country in ASEAN in using Russian products choose to wait and see the real performance of this new developed and untested Su-35.
And if Russian cannot give us any kind of TOT package or at least local overhaul and heavy maintenance package, i prefer not to procure Super Flanker at all.
