Warranty issues.
Yeah....well, try to get hold of an actual human voice at Amazon or iPhone sometime.
Doveryay, no proveryay, y'all...
Tough schittsky, India. You buy from the Yugo factory; you get a Yugo. Guess it never crossed your mind to shop in the U.S.A.
Ya think?
Of course. The Russians refer derisively to any “foreign sales models of Russian military equipment” as selling “Idiot Models.”
Don't blame me this term was originated in the CCP days.
Imagine getting a human, and he’s a Ruskie.
It’s a return to the old Soviet manufacturing techniques and practices used in Russian automobiles.
Don’t know about Apple’s customer care, but with Amazon I’ve got no problem. That ‘mayday’ button on Amazon’s tablet has handled more than a few issues extremely quickly. Pretty much a must, I think, for any heavy customer of Amazon to have one at hand.
OAK is not ISO 9000 certified
I know. I am a heavy prime user but there has never been a human on the other end of any communication about an problem I’ve had. That isn’t to say their service isn’t bad but they go out of their wait to not acquaint you with a human. Just my opinion. Not worth squat really.
Ahem, technically it was “1D10T”. ...
Anyway, iirc the Indians are in the market for foreign aircraft for their home built carrier. Looking at the MiG plus the Rafale and a navalized Gripen (ski jump launch performance is a big unknown on those last two). So this is possibly laying out a foundation for negotiating with the Russians again for more MiGs. Means that the Indians learned their lessons from getting screwed over by the Russians the first time around.
They don’t remember the CCP selling them,...ahem,...”Monkey Models”.
Keep an eye out on Prime Day, if there’s a cheap Amazon tablet with the Mayday button, get one. Good for reading books on, plus you push the button and you’re in voice/video chat with an Amazon customer support person within a minute.
It’s india, after all, a smelly third-world country that pretends to be first world. What can you expect?
I will look for that. Thanks!
When you buy over the Internet without checking out out first you’ll get burned
“Guess it never crossed your mind to shop in the U.S.A.”
Maybe. If they bought an F/A-18 OK. An F-35 not so much.
