 Algeria wants to return 15 fighter jets it bought from Russia because of their poor quality, the Kommersant daily reported on Monday, citing an official from Russia's state United Aerospace Corporation. The official said Russia was proposing to take back the MiG-29 jets, which were delivered to Algeria in 2006 and 2007, but only if Algeria bought more modern and expensive planes such as the MiG-29M2 or the MiG-35.
| And then when they want to return them...? |
| Russians are also playing hardball with the Indians, not honoring contractual obligations, so that they buy upgraded Mig-29s instead of the F-18s |
| Both countries need to learn that you don't throw good money after bad ... |
| Take this simple test: Using a $4.95 calculator, tote up the number of pieces of Russian junk shot down since 1950 by U.S. aircraft. Then do a similar count of U.S. aircraft shot down since that date by Russian junk. Using the back of a used envelope, perform a rudimentary cost/benefit analysis using the two numbers. Use the result to determine your next purchase. |
