I dunno. They did a fine job with their Mark-1 Jaegers.



Well, that is until Otachi and Leatherback showed up.

Currently Russia has a worse economy than we do here in the states, doesn't surprise me that they can't design something correctly when they don't have the means to fund it.

They probably couldn't steal the appropriate trade secrets to make it work correctly.

LOL at the gratuitous dig at the Obama Administration in that article.  Typical.

I'm glad they do that - some media is expressing my thoughts.

So according to your article this turned more like India bashing instead of Russia:

Quote
“India has had so many problems absorbing modern equipment and supporting it that it’s difficult to know whether it says anything about the Russian systems at all,” Anthony Cordesman, who has served as a consultant for the State and Defense departments and who holds the Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told FoxNews.com.

Laird said that the Indians may be souring on the Russian deal in part to save funds so they can build more French-designed Dassault Rafale fighter jets, which can be built relatively quickly, unlike the still-to-be-designed “fifth-generation” planes under development with the Russians.

This thread makes me laugh  :rofl

Quote
Current aircraft software is inadequate for even basic pilot training, The radar performs poorly or not at all, Maintenance tools do not work

And it is about... F-35! After 8 years  production its carrier based variant can't still land on carrier (after 14 frames produced)!

And now you are laughing on the plane that that had flown 4 years ago, it is first stealthy Russian aircraft design, unlike US F-117, B-2, F-22. And yet its program cost is still a fraction of JSF program.

So something tells me that laughing and criticizing Russian developers is probably not that justified in face of amazing and high quality US programs...

Recall: for some reason Indians major air superiority fighters are Sukhoi Su-30MKI, their next carrier fighters are MiG-29K and still India buys the fighters from Russia. So they are probably not that bad
