The Russian Federal Military Technology Cooperation Service has permitted China to re-export Russian RD-93 fighter jet engines as part of FC-1 Chinese-Pakistani planes to six countries, including Algeria, which, until now, has only bought Russian jets. Besides Pakistan and Algeria, the countries that will receive the planes are Egypt, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia. The presence of Algeria on the lost was unexpected. It is the third-largest buyer of Russian military hardware and has only purchased coast guard boats and Kalashnikov plants from China so far. Russia signed a contract with Algeria in March 2006 for the delivery of 28 MiG-29SMT and 6 MiG-29UB planes. However, the Algerian government complained about the quality of the planes immediately after the first deliveries. Russia offered to replace two of the planes, which were manufactured by the Sokol plant in Nizhny Novgorod after Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika wrote to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but Algeria did not respond to that suggestion. Observers say that the country's interest in the FC-1 may be due to its disappointment with the MiGs, although the FC-1 is much less militarily effective.
The FC-1 (known as the JF-17 in Pakistan) is the first Chinese multifunctional fighter jet created for the foreign market. Design of the aircraft began in the early 1990s by Chengdu Aircraft Industry. Pakistan paid for about half of the design costs ($75 million). The Russian RD-93 engines for it were designed by the Klimov company and are manufactured by Chernyshev Moscow Heavy Machinery Enterprise. Rosoboronexport struck a $238-million deal for the first 100 engines for the craft in 2005.
Pakistan is the only country that has signed a for the purchase of the aircraft so far. Besides the countries that plan to sign contracts, Lebanon, Burma, Iran and Sri Lanka have expressed interest in it. |

in another context president putin might have been saying about manmoahn singhs and jaswant sings of india-scavanging jackels on foreing embassy direction.

quote--"Putin warns against `scavenging jackals` President Putin has warned against attempts to restore the influence of the oligarchs in Russia. He told thousands of supporters in Moscow that the power-hungry tycoons had not gone away. He said they remained in the wings, waiting for an opportunity to regain their influence in Russ"""
"“Unfortunately there are people in our country who are scavenging like jackals at foreign embassies, hoping to receive support from foreign funds and governments rather than the support of their own people,” he said, adding that this won’t last long: " als we donto have putins amonst us-only yeltsin like traityors swariming all over india.and no body is taking them out to save india from onrushing slavery !!
it should be eye opener(though it will not) for those idiotic indians-more like knowiningly doing treachery than being foolish) who think america wil fight the muslim extremism for india.

U.S. Ambassador Plays a `Mullah Card' in Destabilization of Pakistan
November 20, 2007
quote-"ndicating once again that the Cheney-led neo-cons of Washington are solely interested in enhancing unrest in Pakistan, the U.S. Ambassador to Islamabad, Anne Patterson, met Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chief of Jamiat-Ulema-Islami (JUI-F) and an often-used British asset in Pakistan. U.S. Embassy spokesman Elizabeth Colton told AFP that Patterson and Rehman discussed a number of issues, including the importance of lifting the emergency. Needless to say, Maulana Fazlur has publicly stated that he wants to see the state of emergency lifted before free and fair elections are held.
But Maulana Fazlur Rahman is known for his contribution to developing the core members of the Taliban movement through his multitude of madrassahs, or Islamic seminaries. His is one of the most influential and resourceful organizations in Pakistan working for what is described as a "pure, Islamic state." "

quote--" December 8, 2007 Britain's Neo-Imperial Dreams in Afghanistan by Bahlol Lohdi
Dean Acheson, the distinguished American statesman, famously opined in a speech at West Point in 1962, "that Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role." Forty years later, in 2002, Tony Blair and fellow dreamers thought the tragedy of 9/11 provided them with the opportunity once again to play a determining role on the world stage. The notion that Britain was to America as Greece had been to Rome – implying that Britain was going to be the "brain" and America the "brawn" – became a fashionable topic of discourse in the British media.
No matter how deluded this may have been when viewed objectively, Blair and his acolytes clung to the idea. They hoped to use the Anglo-American "special relationship" as the vehicle for achieving Britain's neo-imperial dreams.
However, the United States continued to view the relationship differently, and Blair's efforts to shape American policy through close ties to Washington failed, as has now been revealed by numerous retired senior British officials.
Nevertheless, still hoping to gain a place at the top table of decision making, and thereby try and shape future events, Blair committed Britain's forces to fight battles in two countries where Britain had a colonial past: Afghanistan and Iraq.
London thought that its colonial era experience in both countries would enable it to claim superior knowledge and expertise, thus giving British policy proposals inordinate weight, thereby influencing the political and economic shape of the post-conflict era in both countries to British advantage. However, this ambition has already been thwarted in Iraq and is at the point of being thwarted in Afghanistan.-------"
