Su- 30 MKI in Indian colours











Sorry if some of the pictures were posted before! :)
 
The SU30 looks beautiful indeed, very elegant, just like a bird in the skies.
Too bad the PAF will have to take a few down sooner or later. :frown: ;)

Well, lets hope that they cross swords sooner than later :devil:
 
how the hell you tell that F/A - 18 SH will win the tender are you the Chief of IAF or Minister in MoD in GoI????????????:blah::blah:

Till FGFA comes Su-30 MKI will be our Top Notch Fighter, it is used in Air Doninese and M-MRCA is for strike and other roles to do:toast_sign:

Well, mate even i dont want amercian devices to join IAF, but They are Best no doubt.

You might be diassapointed to know, so am i, that what he said may be true.

A friend of mine has his father participating in the trials. he said in a confirmed mood that we are going for the SH.

May be we change our minds and get Rafale or Typhoon ( very unlikely )
 
Someone claim Chinese MK1 is Chinese made and modified SU27 or something similiar. Any detail info about MK1 ?

Welcome to USA's friendship.
we have experienced it ; now it's your turn.

its a kiss of death.

For every sweet word that UK/USA will say, they will get back in $$$.
 
Till the FGFA's advent to the IAF ranks ... the MKI will remain the IAF's premiere air superiority fighter.

The MMRCA is not being envisaged as something that needs to match or supersede the MKI. Actually it is going to be the IAF's main multirole platform with an advanced (i)BVR A2A and (ii)un-escorted A2G strike capability.

On a side note ...

Generally in all multi-billion dollars arms purchases, the hidden political clout of a super-power (if they are in pursuit of the deal) always plays an important role. The US and India are embarking on a strategic partnership. I believe a political tilt towards the Rhino is a real possibility. It will usher in an advanced US fighter with avionics unparalleled in the sub-continent and it will also open doors for the induction of the latest US BVR and stand off kill munitions for the IAF.

But foremost ... it will herald the cementing of ties between the two countries.

Also ... the US could use the 10+billion USD earmarked for the deal.

Just my 2 cents.

Aliyusuf,

very good post and well thought out opinion.

IF U ARE CORRECT then we will all see F18 SUPER HORNETS complete with ANRAAM C7 bvrs and APG79 Aesa radars on the sub continent by 2013.

I expect an obamas state visit in November this year to be very significant for mmrca and the C17 deals

Personally, I am a big fan of flankers and have even seen the assembly line of SU30 MKI in nashik. 6 planes assembled at a time. These are hell of a beasts when you watch them from pretty close range.

It's more likely that they want to replace older F5 and possibly F16s, so it would make sense.

they got no money to acquire Flankers(Su-27SK/30KI) in sufficient number(not even a squadron of 12 aircraft) and thus opting for cheaper option to modernize their mostly ageing air force
