India is forced to purchase a batch of X-NUMX Russian Su-40MKI fighters, which had previously been criticized.

The persistent statements of Indian officials that the Su-30MKI Russian fighters are unpromising, outdated and simply bad turned out to be completely provocative, as evidenced by information about the intentions of the Indian Ministry of Defense to spend about 3 billion dollars to buy 40 combat fighters of this model.

At the moment we are talking exclusively about “The increased chances of buying Russian fighters”however, there are no official statements from the Indian Ministry of Defense.

“In India, we were convinced that the French fighters, at a cost significantly higher than the cost of Russian combat aircraft, are not better. Strange, but for some reason the "bad" Russian planes really needed the Indian Air Force ", - the analyst notes.

It should be clarified that this behavior of India is far from being observed for the first time, in particular, Avia.pro previously published information that India is ready to reconsider the possibility of buying fifth-generation Russian fighter Su-57 and continue the implementation of the FGFA project based on this the aircraft.
