I think so that he is asking you to write a post/brief having information about SU-30MKI's ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) capabilities. (I.e Israeli Elta jammer pods)

In terms of ECM capabilities of SU-30 MKI, the SU-30s can carry Elta EL/M-8222 SPJ. This is a standard EW pod for all SU-30 MKIs in service with Indian Airforce. The ELTA El/M-8222 SPJ is a power-managed jammer, air-cooled system with an ESM receiver integrated into the pod. The pod contains...

Yes Pakistan had ordered 500 AIM-120C-5, the order was placed by Pakistan in early 2006 to equip its F-16C/D Block 50/52+ & F-16A/B Block 15 MLU aircrafts. I have heard somewhere that a US Navy carrier battle Group for it's air-arm can carry a larger stock of missiles than that. Coming to...

"The No-Escape Zone is the zone within which there is a high (defined) kill probability against a target even if it has been alerted. This zone is defined as a conical shape with the tip at the missile launch. The cone's length and width are determined by the missile and seeker performance. A...

Thank you for correcting me. But I will stand by my point that PAF pilots are not the most professional. There are posts written by posters (especially in the "MiG-21 shot down Pakistani F-16" thread"/and a few other threads) which have sources quoting that PAF pilots were given passing marks in...

If it is true that Pakistani F-16s fired those AMRAAMs out of their effective NEZ zone then this just proves how unprofessional Pakistani pilots truly are. PAF used AIM-120 "C" against the SU-30s that day and unit cost of "C" variants of AMRAAMS are estimated to cost between US$300,000–$400,000...

Pakistan has AIM-120c5, this is an older variant of AIM-120, there are better & newer versions of AMRAAMs like AIM-120D/7 etc. They have better electronics, better ECMs, more range in Comparison to their predecessors. According to sources, PAF F-16s had used 4-5 AIM-120c5s against 1 SU-30 which...

I just read through the Wikipedia page on this incident and here is what it says :- "The Su-22 shot off flares and was able to successfully avoid the missile. Tremel then quickly locked on with an AIM-120 AMRAAM missile and fired at the Syrian aircraft, successfully reaching the Fitter and...

It's an incident which happened in June of 2017. On that day a US Navy F/A-18 had engaged and shot down a Syrian SU-22. The SU-22 was shot down using an AMRAAM. Intially the F/A-18 Pilot had fired an AIM-9 at the SU-22 but the SU-22 evaded the missile with the use of Chaffs/Flares. After the...

There were many Tactics involved in dodging the AIM-120C5 BVRs fired by the Pakistanis. Jamming was 1 of them but also the SU-30 MKI manouvered and dodged the Missiles.

Are American Air to Air (AOA) Missiles really Effective? I mean we saw on 27th February 1 Sukhoi SU-30 MKI {Callsign : Avenger 1}of the Indian Airforce manage to evade a Barrage of 4-5 AIM-120 AMRAAMs. I mean those AMRAAMS are supposed to be "state of the Art" According to Americans but not...

This article mentions about RVV-SD which has a Range of 110 kms. Even this article which you have quoted says that RVV-SD has a range of 110 kms. Now please its my request that you Discuss about Russian Missiles in this thread and not clutter this one. Thank you...

If you want to discuss more about Russian air to air Missiles than I have made a separate thread for That. Discuss about it here. https://defenceforumindia.com/threads/r-77-r-73-r-27-and-other-russian-air-to-air-missiles-details-and-discussions.83216/

Yes that's what I am talking about, RVV-AE has a range of 80kms. This is from Wikipedia and even the Official Website of Rosoboronexport states that RVV-AE has a range of 80kms and Above.

Are you referring to R-77 here? Than yes I would definitely consider it around the same class as R-77, according to Various sources, R-77 has a range of around 80 kms and Astra is said to have a range of 110 kms which puts to be superior to R-77 in terms of Range(Even though Actual range is...

Astra MK-1 is better than R-77 and Chinese PL-12(Also known as SD-10) in terms of range, I am not exactly sure about Comparison with AMRAAM AIM-120C5 though, either its on par with or better than AMRAAM AIM-120C5.

But that doesn't matter to me, whatever the term signifies, it shows that it's a German Eurofighter typhoon, end of Discussion.

Than hope you know it now.

Luftwaffe is German for "air weapon”, which tells that this is a German Eurofighter Typhoon belonging to the German Airforce.

Rightly said, better to stick with Indigenous Options but still AMRAAM is pretty Advanced. Astra MK-1 is said to be on par or with or better than AMRAAM AIM-120C5 in terms of range(That's all that I am trying to say here)
