Who said MKI is an invisible fighter????? Downplaying it capabilities and advancement in the internet forums won't work in combat arena....... Many guys claiming MKI will step into Pak territory , and MKI advantage will be neutralize due sam network ,awacs etc..... We never started any war until now.... we never played offensive role... ok let us assume IAF is in offensive role..... in that scenario MKI's primary target is to demolish ground based radar and sam network in the pak territory ..... hmmm few days back... many JF fan boys claimed..... JF-17 with awacs support will neutralize MKI radar capability ..... Now you fan boys Increased it's radar capability and decreased AWACS role in internet forums...
Ok buddy, you are barking up the wroooong tree. I am not downplaying the capability that the SU 30 offers. Nor am I a fan boy of JFT. Having seen planes like F4, F 14, F 15, F 18, etc, I KNOW what they offer, the capability is still 10 years ahead of everyone else in the world. That's just USA for ya!
SU 30 (if you READ my post again, offers challenges, it can target and fire three incoming jets with two bvr's per piece and plus it has two pilots. So, this alone is a LOT of capability. In many ways, you can compare an SU 30 to an F 14, only with more modern cockpit and BARS PESA. The rest is the same (40 track, 6 target). But this is tremendous capability in the Indo-Pak scenario.
Now the radar range, is a different issue. Go read a few of my other posts on Radar advantage. It'll work if the SU 30 was working as an EW provider. But in case of locking onto the targets and firing BVR's, JFT will do at pretty much at the same time DUE TO THE PROXIMITY of the border and airbases close to it. It's a common sense mathematics. If you fly within a hundred miles of the other plane, you can get an immediate lock on and can fire a bvr missile.....true for either side. This is where the massive radar advantage shortens a little. Doesn't mean that SU 30 becomes a bad jet all of a sudden.
Unfortunately, the Indian fan boys take everything VERY personally. For the 20th time, SU 30 is not an F 15 or F 35 or F 22....so it is NOT the shyt! No offense to anyone, it's just a reality. It does add credible force to the Indian arsenal but limited to the sub continent only as US, UK, Israel, Russia and China have bigger and better jets or plans to build them.
In a war like scenario, you MISSED the MAIN point again. You said that the SU 30's primary role to demolish the ground based radar structure.....you don't think Pakistan will respond to that???? Do you REALLY think that they haven't factored in the SU 30 and Rafale?
Iraqi invasion to the world seemed like a video game to the world. BUT, only involved people can tell it took MONTHS of scenario running and planning to achieve objectives and minimize casualties. If a superpower like US had to do so much planning, Pakistan is like 7th of India.....I bet their planners spend a lot of time every week in coming up with responses to what if scenarios. So recommending that SU 30 will have a field day......sounds very naive from a strategic planning' perspective. Too much emotions, not a lot of juice!
