Cost Armerican manufacturers $34 million in sales, probably force a rich socialist state to equip itself with a modern strike airforce (eurofighter or Su-31) and remove military cooperation with same. For a reward of eliminating a 20 year old non-threatening strike airforce and grandstanding a message to the world.unaha-closphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385104004764358415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1147993607112257332006-05-18T19:06:00.000-04:002006-05-18T19:06:00.000-04:00First rate analysis.

They can't get parts, they can't keep them in the air, they can train pilots to fly them. Why buy fighters you KNOW you're not going to be able to fly when you can buy fighters you PROBABLY won't be able to fly from Russia?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825355320779919498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1147890733574814012006-05-17T14:32:00.000-04:002006-05-17T14:32:00.000-04:00I wonder how many manufacturers there are of parts...I wonder how many manufacturers there are of parts?
