True, India insists that a certain high percentage be made in India. So this is probably not a Russian quality issue. Haven't heard that Algeria, who buys Russian built aircraft, has had the crashes that India has.

I’m a hawkish democrat and the lack of support for Jordan alienated me and convinced me this administration wasn't adequately dealing with the ISIS threat. Here's a government that is credible and wants to take responsibility for security in this part of the world and we couldn't be bothered. And yet we've helped far…

Can’t say I blame them. The Obama administration has a difficult time standing by our traditional allies.

And there was a whole class of Royal Navy torpedo boats with the prefix Gay; HMS Gay Archer, Gay Bruiser, Gay Charger.....

Not true. I know a group that lived for years on an island after being stranded. Check your facts, dude...

I hope they don’t forget...

I’ve always wondered why we didn’t have more commercial jet based military platforms. They’re proven, reliable and economical designs with huge commercial fleets to share parts, maintenance and facilities with. A 787 based loitering bomb platform would be perfect for counter insurgency missions or air to ground ops in…
