They are documented...just as it's documented that the US has even closer economic ties to china than india. It means nothing.

We both agree that a democratic in the white house is murder for India-US alliance. Bush-Condi-Blackwell are the best thing to happen for India/US. Clinton(s) are murder for this alliance.

Agreed whole heartidly. We cannot ignore the inroads the Chinese are making...we need to continue with the efforts that the Bush admin is making. That's my point.

BTW, the jointly developed fighter I beleive you are talking about was originally designated the FC-1, but I believe it will be called the JF-17 in Pakistan service.

Although prototypes have flown, it is not scheduled for series production until 2006. I believe it is a revamped version of the failed and rejected Mig-33 design from the old Soviets.
