Russian Bombers resume CW sorties


Russia just bought like 300 new Su-30's and are now working on 2 new carriers with the French if I understand. Great, something cant be good.

Try 30 instead of 300. Surprised they even have the money to do this. Must be seizing them right off the line and stealing them from Sukhoi. Back to communism they go....

Actually, I was wrong its Vise-Versa. Iran is trying to buy 250 Su-30MKM's and 20 IL-78 Midas tankers from Russia. Talk about a real shift of power in the Gulf.

From what we are hearing right now though, Russia denied the purchase of arms. However the US and A just proposed a $20 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
