#1 I'll say this for the Russian weapons makers - those that made it through the revolution adapted to capitalism quite well.

#3 I don't think India's stupid enough to trade reconnaissance aircraft for interceptors, even if the MiG-25 is getting a bit long in the tooth. The Russians have nothing to offer in the form of a reconnaisssance aircrft to replace it with, and the "pod" for the Mig-31 is a piece of crap! I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I doubt this deal will entice the Indians. The Migs have been too important to them in their keeping track of the Pakistani military.
