I agree totally with that...further the Su-30 works well with the Il 76/78 fo :doute1: r refuelling, while still hoping/having on outlook to get the Il 476, as the basis for awacs for the Su-30 (with whatever radar ) .Palmier Dattier a écrit :@Tonton2k: je ne pense pas que l'AAF pourrait se passer de l'Il476. C'est un transporteur de troupes sans égal sans compter une rusticité inégalable. Je pense que l'AAF s'accomodera parfaitement des deux types d'appareil. J'ai l'impression que le C17 intéresse au plus haut point en raison de sa capacité d'emport de matériels lourds av ant toute chose.
The Il also is required for the increased need to transport goods to the now more expanding basis in the south....thus there will be the need for much more Il in the mid term in Algeria.
The globemaster can only support/complement the Il.
Finally India bought some Globemaster as well, I wonder what other analogy in acquisitions we might discover for the future.....
