5. The reason Daussault is concerned for their
RAFALE is the cost, so here's INDIA's solution and let's not forget their project with Russia and if I have to tell what that is well, you haven't been paying attention for the last four years or so. Anyway...

16.
CHINA introduces next H-6 series bomber the
H-6K not much out there on these planes but with what we have should be enough to verify there isn't more of these in the OOB than there should be based on the data we have. Besides what was used to get them in the OOB in the first place? But then I don't know if they're in there in the first place!!
So I'll just have to
CHECK, VERIFY and make recommendations.

M-T always seems to be the first to get equipment data out there most of the time.
Well the taxman has come and gone. It's nice to know he'll be making deposits vice withdrawals, now I can put 2014 behind us-TG!?!
