New Indian fighter jet
Russia has unveiled its new stealth fighter jet, meant to boost the country's ageing arsenal of weaponry and be a rival to the US F-22 Raptor.
India is known to have carried out at least 25% of the development work, and will have at least 250 aircraft. The matter was mentioned in this blog in August 2009.
IMO: The BBC seem to have just caught up with us, doubtless being more concerned with UK MPs and their crooked expense claims, together with UK defense failures often leading to deaths of UK soldiers, presumably caused by usual UK criminal corruption.
Sukhoi's director Mikhail Pogosyan said "this will not only allow strengthening of the defence power of the Indian air force, but also gain a significant share of the world market".
