oops...sorry that was supposed to be MK-1's.

BSD, the whole sqadron was never grounded, just read the article it says an issue with warranty for those 18 mk-1's, i guess they'll sort it how much to pay and how much is covered under warranty.
They just threatned Sukhoi/Saturn, coz for last couple years Sukhoi is/was profitable bcoz of India and China.and now they signed a $900m contract with Malaysia, so if they dont go with IAF they'll be in trouble. They'r just trying to gain some leverage!!
