And we can add this:
Uzbekistan shows interest in French Dassault Rafale, wants 24
Uzbekistan's leadership is said to have expressed an interest in acquiring 24 Rafale fighters. However, exact terms and funding arrangements remain undisclosed.

No wonder they report that Mig-35 is doing wonderfully in Ukraine despite none has been seen.
I'll believe it when one is shutdown

We are seeing the beginning of the collapse of Russia's advanced arms business. Why would anyone buy a MiG/Sukhoi when you can get a Dassault, SAAB or LM/Boeing? And for those diplomatically shutout from the Western types, there's the HAL Tejas Mk2, Chengdu J-10 and for even cheaper, the CAC JF-17.And we can add this:No wonder they report that Mig-35 is doing wonderfully in Ukraine despite none has been seen.Uzbekistan shows interest in French Dassault Rafale, wants 24

And tanks? Even if you can't afford or diplomatically access Leopard 2s or Abrams, you'd be unwise to buy a Russian T-90 with its poor showing in Ukraine, when for similar money you can buy a South Korean K2 Black Panther or Chinese VT-4.

India also has their own T-90, upgraded to T-90M/S and the native Arjun, which is fairly impressive.

I agree but with a side note. Sales are not a free choice there. Agents in da house.
I think its remarkable it is even getting to public view.
The chinese vt-4 is a nono. Parts or even complete systeem shutdowns with sales abroad is not science fiction. There is a reason why some chinese producers can not supply i.g. 5g tech. And no these are solid scientist.

According to Wikpedia, Thailand, Nigeria and Pakistan operate the VT-4. Pakistan also makes a local version or spinoff in their Haider MBT.

Seems reasonable enough. We want our side to win.Ukraine wants its F-16 Block 20 fighters with AN/APG-83 radar
Kyiv is requesting that the radars of the promised F-16 fighters be upgraded before delivery, as they currently fail to match the range of Russian MiGs.
"However, outfitting an F-16 fighter with an AN/APG-83 radar requires a complicated, multistage process that can be quite lengthy. The exact timeline can be influenced by several factors, including resource availability, the scale of necessary alterations, and the proficiency of the team in charge."
The above is not a reason not to do it, but is an obstacle to overcome. There must be hundreds of F-16 qualified technicians in NATO. Get moving on the necessary mods.
