I didnt say that, If our Airforce is 100% Russian, that means we are at the mercy of Russians; let say in future the Russians and Indians parted ways, they refused to give us spares. Our Airforce will be rendered useless. That is a big problem. Its not about the quality or effectiveness of Russian MiG-35, just that we have quite a few of 'em in our airforce.

What if : In an Indo-China war, they support China and send all spares over there; Imagine our situation.

Secondly, Superhornet is offered at 49.8 million dollars a piece. A MiG will cost nearly the same. russian jets are not 'THAT' cheap anymore.
