Russian equipment is crap? Who knew. I recall when the Foxbat MiG 25 first appeared and was considered the best military aircraft in the world. Then a defector brought one to us and it had rust on it and would burn up its engines with too much thrust. Message to India: You want the best equipment, get it in America.

Their civilian aviation system (DGCA) is a corrupt, old boy’s club. I can’t imagine how their military might be.

An interesting website for all matters defense related in India -
Link It pulls no punches and is surprisingly candid in just what a mess the Indian military is.

Do they (India) have agreement for their pilots and their maintenance crew to train in Russia? Seems to me both obstacles can be fixed.
Then it is the race against time, budget, etc.
