India's procurement process is laughable. I've been seeing stories about their need for new fighters pop up for over a decade now. So now they're going to buy 29 Cold-War era Soviet fighters that badly need retro-fitting - I assume they will finally be inducted into service sometime around 2030. This does not sound like a nation that can serve as a counter-weight to China. It barely sounds like a nation capable of defending itself should China care to attack.

They are for Pakistan. Beyond border squabbles, China isn’t coming for India. Pakistan would.

I used to wonder why, with all their geniuses in math and physics, India couldn’t make first-rate, high tech products until I read a little on their business practices and government bureaucracies. Now I’m surprised they can make anything at all.
