Naturally, Ecuador along with several other south american countries, is in the hurry to increase its expenses on military equiptment.
However, something is not clear.
In November 2008, president Correa expended 23 million on one single airplane, that is the president's airplane , but now he is going to expensed 35 million on 14 combat airlines? Why so much money for a single craft?
On the other hand, Ecuador should never consider Chavez's offert, simply those Mirage 50 aircrafts are useless and Chave'z wrong political influence to Ecuador must be eliminated at once.
