That is an Su-30MKM (M for Malaysia) Procured in May 2003 by the Royal Malaysian Air Force after evaluating India's Su-30MKI. :vehicle_plane:

Disagree -look again it's a MIG-29 (fulcrum) Note the intakes on top...

No way. Its not a Mig-29. Look at the elongation between the engines in the rear. Thats not present in Mig 29. Mig-29 Pic

Its a Indonesian Air Force Su-27.

My mistake! I stand corrected. Those vent=like things on the top of the fuselage - I mistook them for the 29's alternative intakes! Gae setting in... :-(

52. I dont mean the Airbrake. I mean those thingys where the 29 would have their intake vents - when they close the main intake sometimes during takeoff to avoid sucking in debris. You don't see those on normal 27s/30s.. do you see it?

Singh,

The Mirage doesn't appear to belong to IAF.
It bears the mark of the ALA.

Do you mean little intakes on the right, behind the cannon? Those arent aux intakes but vents for the 30mm. They are located only on the right LERX. Unlike MiG-29 that has aux intakes on LERX, Su-27 family uses filter screens inside the engine nacelles proper.
