Pray, how can India or any other country that away those engine in PLAAF service?
Similarly can any other country take away the Russian engines from IAF's fighter/transport sqns, given that India has substantial inventory learning from the crunch when USSR impoded and aircrafts were serviceability was less than half. Unlike India, China has deep manufacturing line for most aircrafts except SU27 and FJ-10.
IMHO that is "Khayali Pulaav"

Arun Ji, It was aimed at people who say that India depends on Russia and China does not depend on Russia.
If you look at PLAAF arsenal, we can easily say that it depends on Russia too.
I know that nobody can take away what China purchased !! I just wanted to say that PLAAF has nothing big other than Russian fighters and engines (AL-31F Russian engine powers so called indigenous J10s and J11s-(su27copy) !!
Indian military modernization is going to continue regardless of what Pakistan and China have in their arsenal.
The best line from your article on strategic missiles is "Indian nuclear deterrence is not a two-sum game". In other words, it is not always about China and Pakistan. Awesome !!
