well, it's about the threat you are facing and what you are ordering in. For example, 051C and 956EM are both capable platforms that are probably 2 generations ahead of the Ludas in PLAN. However, they don't meet the PLAN requirement at all imo. In that case, do you go with the indigenous route or the export route?

com'on now, I've been nice enough to not even make a comment on it.
