IAF Sukhoi-30 jets have a design flaw: Air Chief NAK Browne

.
So sad to hear that.:D

Don't worry, it has all been sorted out now and the ACM was speaking whilst visiting a HAL factory to inspect the progress of the SUPER UPG for MKIs!! MKI just got a whole lot deadlier!!!

The safety record of the Su-30 is actually very good, with a fleet strength of over 150 now and 3 accidents in over 12 years of operation.

It is fair to say that the Su-30 has saved the Indian military from a difficult position due to slow or delayed induction of weapons such as tanks (both T-90 and Arjun), artillery (no 155mm guns bought since Bofors for 2 decades), LCA and submarines. Despite this, the Su-30 has ensured that the IAF would be able to maintain air superiority, and what is truly amazing is that we got this beast for a unit cost that is just about the same as a mid-block F-16!
