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.

Is amazing how the little details will prevent one of the best aircraft in the world from even taking off. It can have the best radar, the best weapons, the best train pilot, the best aerodynamic characteristics, etc. But if your mechanic can put it in the air, it is just a nice static display :D

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Shortage of tires is a world wide problem in mining industry. And I am talking about tires that cost $50 000 or more a piece. There is a lack of production capacity and I guess lack of raw material. You would be amazed to hear what some mining companies are paying for a tire nowadays.

 

Therefore, it is not surprise at all to me that there are shortages of special tires in any market. Purchasing departments must play smart here.
