This will po Putin ! If true, I expect the russians to harass the Navy/AF a lot more than what they already do.

The MMRCA decision is on 4 Nov. Any bets which way the ball will spin? :)

If the Russians had any sense, they would have seen this coming. The Mi-28 is nowhere near the Apache as far as sophistication goes and is even farther away on the issue of customer support. It’s almost a replay of the Mig-35 offer.

I really don’t know where the MMRCA is headed-credit to the MOD for keeping it under wraps compared to similar competitions in Brazil or South Korea earlier. On a purely hedonistic level, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rafale takes the cake!! though I wouldn’t mind being proved wrong.
