My comment: The report cites
Luke Harding, Pakistan and US Wage a War of Words Over Afghan Border Post Deaths; Islamabad and Washington trade claim and counter-claim over deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers in Nato air strike on border post. Guardian, Nov 28, 2011
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/ ... -deaths?INTCMP=SRCH

I assume this is breaking news that appears online but is to be published in print tomorrow. Another reason for my assumption is I have read todays' Wall Street Journal, whcih does not include this news. Indeed a Google search returns a WSJ news piece (15 minutes ago; titled Airstrike Ravages US-Pakistan Ties) That details the Rashomon (a 1950 Japanese film directed by Akira KUROSAWA).

Quote:

俄罗斯武装力量总参谋长"马卡罗夫说，俄罗斯军事卫星的使用寿命仅有3到5年，但美国军事卫星的使用寿命可达15年，这意味俄罗斯必须要发射更多的卫星，但每一颗卫星造价昂贵，军方又能从哪里找到那么多的开支呢？

"中国几年前曾同俄罗斯签订了购买数十架军事运输机的合同。但俄罗斯军工企业没有能力生产这么多数量的运输机，导致这笔合同无法执行。

"对军工企业不满导致俄罗斯军方更多地向国外采购武器。俄罗斯已经同法国签订了购买4艘直升机航空母舰的合同。俄罗斯还从以色列采购了无人飞机。军方还计划从意大利和德国采购装甲车辆。印度最近决定不采购俄罗斯的米-28武装直升飞机，转而采购美国的阿帕奇武装直升飞机。军事评论人士说，印度对俄罗斯武器的不满，使俄罗斯正丧失印度武器市场。
