Sukhoi Attacks Itanagars Night Silence
Shattering the night silence of Capital Complex, Sukhoi Su-30 MKI has been conducting routine flight for the last few nights to remain alert and prepared. After China test flew its 2nd stealth fighter (J-31) on October 30 last transforming it into a top regional military power, how could India fail to flex its military muscle? Sukhoi has been conducting routine practices from the Tezpur IAF base in Assam.
Sukhoi Su-30MKI jointly developed by Russias Sukhoi and Indias Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF) as an air superiority fighter is an all-weather, long-range and multi-role capability supersonic jet. On October 11 last, the GoI proposed to buy another 42 Su-30MKI aircrafts from Russia. If finalized, this deal will increase Indias order total to 272.
The Shenyang J-31, rumoured to be nicknamed Gyrfalcon or Falcon Eagle, is a fifth generation mid-sized fighter using Russian-made engines to be later replaced by Chinese-made WS-13 engines. It is currently under development by Shenyang Aircraft CorporationThe J-31 where it made the maiden 11-minute flight in Cotober last.
China launched the first version of the fighter almost two years ago. Experts hailed it as a milestone as China is the second country after America to have developed it. Compared with the heavy fighter J-20 launched last year, the J-31 is a middle sized fighter using Russian middle-thrust engines, although it will later be equipped with Chinese-made WS-13 engines, according to report.
China needs both the heavier J-20 and more nimble J-31 to defend its air space. Just like the US F-22 and F-35 fifth-generation fighters, the J-20 and J-31 will complement each other during future operations, Bai Wei, former deputy editor of the weekly Aviation World, told the newspaper. The J-31 and J-20 will add to Chinas offensive as well as defensive capability, but it will take many, many years for them to enter service with the Air Force, said Roggeveen, a former analyst for Australian government intelligence and editor of the Lowy Institutes blog LowyInterpreter.org.
