It could be that the these aircraft could be used as decoys or be converted to drones for attacking Russian territory

[@Tin-Can-Tank]

@elimmashariki9959 I agree with you about decoys and potential drone conversions, they would make nice drones

[@jjjr.1186]

That's dumb. More like upgraded and used. MiG 27. MiG 29 su 27 and su24 are all used by Russia except su24. But su24 can launch storm shadow unlike f16s.

They wanna update their own fighters and see why Russia's are good and never have any of their weapons completely pulled off the battlefield after only 2 months like the Abrams?

[@michaeld1170]

How many Abrams have been destroyed. Only 4 according to the Russians themselves. How many T-90 have been destroyed more than 50 according to the Russians themselves, more than 100 completely destroyed T-90s according to Oryx photographic evidence. Russia is in no position to brag

[@eddyamoke5009]

drones

[@joshflugel]

A few weeks ago, the USAF used an F16 piloted by an AI to dogfight with a human pilot. The same could happen with these aircraft once overhauled, they could be used as cheap long range attack drones. Using soviet machines for this purpose is smarter than using western aircraft, looks less escalatory.

[@AyushKumar-ec9kd]

The modernization is economically impractical.. Why use soviet jets when they have thousands of american ones lying in the plane graveyard in US.

[@japantrucks1838]

They will just be used to deplete Russian arms.

Every news report from India gives undue props to Russia. I know India is a Third-World Nation and they have to lookout for themselves, but walking the line between Russia & The West is such a selfish & immoral choice. Russia is a rogue, evil nation under Putin. India is fortunate that The West is full of rational people & will welcome you - even with the terrible decisions you are making now. The quicker you come fully to our side - the better it will be for your people.

[@alex-fs5bl]

Two reasons, if you are not clever enough to figure it out. Spares for Ukraine and making sure ruZZia can't get their hands on said spares....
