If you are going to buy a weapon from Russia think twice:thumbup:
April 1, 2008: Last year, India's 60 Su-30 fighters had to cut back on training flights because of a shortage of tires. Normally, the 60 fighters go through about a hundred tires a year. But due to delays in ordering replacement tires, and delays in the Russian supplier delivering, the number on hand fell to about ten. At that point, a nagging problem became a crises. The Russians blamed it on the Indian Air Force logistics people, who did not order enough new tires to replace those being worn out. The Indian purchasing officials blamed it on the Russians, who, according to the aircraft warranty agreement, are the only ones who can supply tires for the Su-30s.
