Indonesian Airforce SU-30

[HAIDER]

An Indonesian Su-30MK took off while carrying locally-made 250kg BT-250 GP-bomb attached in TERs. FYI, the BT-250 was made by Army-owned PT. Pindad and based on US-made 227kg Mk. 82 GP-bomb.

Currently Russia has delivered weaponry needed for a small batch of Indonesian Flankers. AFAIK the goodies were 100kg OFAB-100 GP-bomb, 80mm B-8 podded rocket system, R-27/-37/-77 AAM and Kh-29L ASM alongside rounds for 30mm GSh-30-1 cannon. WARNING: The data I write down can be sometime changed after the enigma is solved!

The data was taken from WAFF (World's Armed Forces Forum). I knew the writing since I wrote it myself; Mr. Haider took them all without any permission from me.

Please inform him ASAP.

@Echo1,

It depends to the pilot's skill and ability. For the latest information, the next batch will come in October this year and consisted of three Su-27SKMs and Su-30MK2s.

The latter - Su-30MK2 - will be similar to Venezuelan machine:



@Su-47,

Actually it will be 44 Flankers. According timeline Indonesian AF made, 2008 - 2010 (if my memory served right) will see a Flanker squadron. There were even a plan to replace ageing F-5E Tiger IIs with F-16C/D for the uniformity despite provoking possibility of U.S. embargo.

The latest news I read from a local aviation magazine that Indonesian DoD asked AF to study about possibility of acquiring Mirage 2000-5. As an Indian, I'd like to ask you about IAF experience in operating Mirage 2000H/TH.

Its just too damn big to be inducted in the fighter class category. Looks more like a bomb truck.
