I am at work so who can do some detective work and figure out the name of the SU-30 pilot (According to chacha, he was sikh)
He thought the pilot whom he caught was sikh, I think.

The initial batch of 18 Su-30MKs (without canards) has been returned back to Russia in 2003. 4 of them were later sold to Angola.
All Sukhois in Indian inventory is of MKI standard.

Can some investigate this
That picture was appear in 2006/7 by the way. if the aircraft was return back in 2003/4, why the picture of IAF SU 30 MK published in 2006/7 (there was no reason of that then)
I didn't get your point.See last few pages. It's from an air show where the IAF showed its "skills" to the world.
Can some investigate this
Pakistan downing two aircraft is not the myth
raging question for me is why don't the pilots and aircraft tally up
its easy to say Mig21 and Su30 and 3 pilots
but if there was 3 pilots and 2 were caught in Pakistan who were the other 2 in the parachutes
moreover the crash site showed burning body
Ok guys I've taken a 2nd look at the video people claim shows a Flanker getting chased, here's what I found...
First of all, side-canards, tail, size and other minute details are not an issue. The video is low quality and the plane dashes by fast, so we may not see them. It could also be travelling at a much greater height. I therefore feel as if the most important features to identify this as an MKI is that the wings are relatively low on the plane, and that they have a slight curve on them. Now, let's have a look at this screenshot, from the video:

The wings do appear to look low, and have a slight curve to them. The bottom region is also pretty large, just as a dual engine aircraft would be.
It may be an MKI, but I'm still sceptical that this video is footage of it being chased (I still think one of them went down though due to the video of the two parachutes). But what are your thoughts?

BS.
He never said that.
This what he said as per transcript:
A F-16 of Pakistani air force shot down.
A Su 30 MKI of IAF the latest of Indian air force chasing away an F 16 in nowshera sector.
Here's the full video confirming it:
No wonder Pakistanis are posting only the first 15-20 secs.
