What are the Russians playing at???
To: Aussie Dasher
Chavez isn't very bright. The Russians screwed him when they sold him thousands of junk assault rifles a while back.

Making money off this clown's gullibility I suspect.
Why the Venezuelans don't bridle at Chavez wasting their money on high performance aircraft is beyond me.
All he can do with them (assuming he can keep them in the air) is threaten his neighbors -- our guys will make short work of them

Muller said we would sell them to Iran, and that is possible.Go ahead. Iran won't be able to buy parts for them either.
To: Aussie Dasher
those jets will be easy enough to pick off if necessary.

The F-16's should be destroyed on the ground in Venezuela before they can take off for Iran.
Even an idiot like Chavez would get the message.
BTW, Russia is still our enemy. We've had a fifteen year timeout. Russia has spun off its troublesome Muslim provinces, but it is still countering us in the Middle East and the War on Terror.

To: Aussie Dasher
So Iran will have more US F-16s to face fewer Russian planes?

Mr Chavez hailed the Russian Sukhoi fighters as "the best in the world, 100 times better than the F-16s".No airplane is any better than it's pilot and their training. 'Nuff said.
Go right ahead and sell some aging F-16s to Iran. Do you really think they are equipped with everything the US kept models have? Do you think the maintenance and training of personnel is equal? The jokes on you, Chavez, keep running off at the mouth and watch as your own people tire of you and oust you from office one day.

"Chavez isn't very bright. The Russians screwed him when they sold him thousands of junk assault rifles a while back." Can you provide a reference to this?

LOL...I guess Chavez forgot that our pilots are probably about 100 times better than his.

I watched a show on the history channel a while back about Russia, the USA, and arms dealing. What the Russians were doing was selling early warning radar equipment to Iraq prior to the gulf war. Meanwhile they were selling us the information on it's vulnerabilities.
Da, is good top of line product comrade Saddam. Will find many American planes.

There was a story posted here at FR a few months back but I don't have a clue how to dig that one up.

Those jets will do him the same good Saddam's Russian jets did for him. :)
