Sukhoi hardware is the match of anything produced by American aerospace companies. --- Actually, it's probably better. The advanced Sukhois are sometimes referred to as the envy of Nato. (Cf. http://www.sukhoi.org/eng/home.htm) The Russian military-industrial complex is moving full speed ahead.
It's only a matter of time before Hindustan Aeronautics makes their own modifications and produces a purely Indian product. It's also only a matter of time before these aircraft - as I wrote at the beginning, the match of anything in the US' air arsenal - are available to other non-Western countries. --- A couple of years ago, at least, Russia and India were working jointly on a fifth-generation fighter plane. Ulhas, you remember anything about this?
