"Kevin Brooks" wrote in message Significant interest/pressure from the pakistanis, a development partner, for one. The other factor apparently being that they see a market for a Mig-21 replacement around the world (though why anyone would want this turkey for that role is beyond me--replacing sixties technology in 2010 with seventies technology seems a bit of a waste...). I believe there are nation to which neither Russia nor the Western Powers will sell jet fighters. Pakistan seems one example, Burma and Zimbabwe two others. China might get something of a captive market. |
