| #11 Russia still has that glaring problem of Quality Control on their attempts to build cutting edge military equipment... The Israelis don't seem to have a Q&A problem. What they need seems to be more .... oh, wait, never mind. |

| #6 Getting the Japanese to turn a "blind eye" to technological transfers would be a big plus for Putin's ambitions. Russia still has that glaring problem of Quality Control on their attempts to build cutting edge military equipment... |

| #2 I suspect Japanese expectations are nearly as low as Vlad's chances for wrecking the US-Japanese Alliance. Like many of Russia's neighbors, the Japanese and Russians have a most unpleasant history. |
