Russian arms are good but I nevertheless I think that China wants western Arms. Look at her commercial planes. China buys Western planes though Russian planes are vastly cheaper. Just drop the embargo and you will see how China scrambles for western military hardware....Russian planes are awesome but avionics are not on a par with western planes.. And why is China pushing for the embargo to be lifted if they are not keen to get their hands on western arms? Russia has been selling its arms to China for decades but the US never protested and you know what noise America makes when America feels that their interests are being threatened.Why then the protest? Because they feel that Western Arms in the hands of China are more dangerous than Russian arms..That's just my opinion...

The rationale was given as simplistically as could be done for the common man to understand. High flauntingly philosophical justification would not have been understood. |

They are wonderful for military purposes, but not for being commercially viable. That is why no country buys them for commercial purposes. One of the reasons why it is expensive to maintain troops in Siachen is that it is transported by planes bought from the Soviet Union. The plus point is that they are rugged, are 'soldier proof' and has excellent on maintainability. |
