US trying to Steal India as Customer??

So Browno posted an image of a fighter designed by one of the worlds most reknowned fighter aircraft designers that ever lived.

I'm with Daedalus, I don't get it

If i remember correctly masqua told me through PM that browno posted the picture of the Marut to show why india needed to buy american planes

Thanks Chinawhite, thats what I suspected, its a pretty weak juibe though, isn't it?

Why not post a picture of an Su-30MKI instead? Oh yes, it doesn't fit the stereotype does it.

If I remember correctly, it was because I thought it suggested that India was using 60's technology in the 21rst century.

If I was wrong in this, please blame my ignorance on modern airframes.

I assumed an insult and reacted on that.

As far as American technologies go, I'm an ambivalent Canadian and still ticked at Diefenbaker folding to American pressure against the construction of the AVRO Arrow.
