And how did you come to this understanding? USA and global benefit are two words that never go together. But, then it is expected from you obviously. hmmmm.....

Hmmm... what does that even mean? Yes, death due to poverty is greater than death due to war. But, death because of poverty as a result of war should be clubbed into the death due to war, shouldn't it? Anyhow, there hasn't been a true 'war' in the world since Iraq-Iran war. 1991 was a gangr@pe...

Conversely, it can be argued that on the similar note USSR and later Russia was the counter-balance that prevented USA from shedding more blood and it can also be argued that the voracious western corporate powers have been instrumental in maintaining the disparity of wealth in the world...

Now, I guess your first language isn't english. The amount of jingoism I showed in the post you quoted is actually Zero. It was a lesson in history for some and holding up a mirror to you and your holier than thou ilk. When a Yank uses the term 'jingoism' in a tone of critique to another, it...

Woh hi to bola. It can do more than pure CAS, but it still is the sole fighter today that can be used for CAS. AFAIK, Mirage-2Ks aren't meant for CAS.

Semantics. It played CAS role in Brit & Frech AFs. Although, nothing trumps A-10 Warthog or Mig-25 in this role.

UAE wont be replacing their Mirages anytime soon as the replacement F-35 will take long time to reach UAE - likely not before 2027 the deliveries to start. So, UAE mirages will be too old by the time India can purchase them and also, by that time hopefully LCA Mk.2 will start joining the force...

Nuh, me & @Haldilal nibbiar aren't talking about the recent scavenging deal. We are talking about the acquiring 2nd hand Quatari mirages and such other deals. Those will be operational fighters. And, bro, that piecemeal upgradation has already taken forever to come and god knows how long it...

If we start wasting money on outdated jets for the sake of fleet strength alone, don't cuss if during battles they become dropping flies swatted by the much advanced adversaries! We need our edges be kept sharp. even if the sword is a bit small, it it cuts deeper than a long dull edged sword...

We shouldn't waste so much dough on so many almost outdated platforms. We are already behind the numbers in modern fleet. Even out Sukhoi 30 MKis are at the verge of being obsolate as no upgrades are happening, yet we are making more of them instead upgrading the older ones with better radar and...

It is not what I think, but what US think that matters when it comes to US screwing over its partners in relationships. India historically never screwed any of its diplomatic friends ever, expect once voted against Iran instead of refraining during MMS time. But, US has ditched more diplomatic...

Ahem. I guess you misread just like me. It is the deal worth 27 mil for the whole lot. Damn good deal. It can extend the lives of our mirages by several years.
