Chrom: Political issue meaning just a Russo-Algerian bilateral issue or what? I ask this because it seems odd for the Algerians to not get Mig-29s but now they're getting Su-30MKAs.

Aside from that, I havent seen the Phalcon issue come up here so here goes: AFM is reporting that the deliveries of the Ilyushin Il-76MD aircraft that Israel is to install the Phalcon system on; have been pushed back by almost a year with the first aircraft to be delivered by Russia in Sept. 2008 instead of early Dec 2007 as was originally planned. The last of the three aircraft will be ready & shipped to Israel for Phalcon installation in August 2010.

AFM got that wrong. The first modified A-50Ehi was flight tested in Taganrong by Beriev in Nov 2007 was to be delivered to Israel in Dec 2007.

I'm looking for the latest information on India's new Mig-29Ks and if there happy with them overall? When deliveries are finished won't the K model Fulcrums be the most advance in the world?

Btw, seems Algeria officially returned 15 MIG-29SMT back. Reasons are unknown, russians claim political, Algeria also calmly technical. There are rumors about exchanging them for MIG-29M2 for additional 10-15 mil $$ each.

rumors

This rumor makes sense should have order the Mig-29M2 or the single seat version in the first place. I wonder if it was a production line issue India's K models should be about finished right? Either way I'm happy for Mig and since India is dragging it's feet Mig may slip in a finish or semi finish model Fulcrum and steal the show. Thanks Chrom this is good rumor I mean news.
