Hi Pop,

As we discussed on the phone quite a while ago; it'll never happen. Well, not in the near future anyway. I'm not saying that this is for the better. In fact the decision not to select Russian hardware is a purely political decision based soley on public perception. And in terms of the decision; capability and cost efficiency will not even get a look in. Nonetheless, by chosing the US hardware, I guess we are dealing with 'known' aspects in terms of supportability and we are quite familiar with the heritage of the design.

That said, I think a brand new MiG-35 would look nice in the hangar.
