Not really. VKS and Navy command gets fucked hard if any of them will appear during regular or sudden checkups, so they don't fuckup or hide anything. As for Algerians, they've even rejected MiG-29SMT contract due to poor supply chain from MiG in its time, so I really doubt they will keep...

This is an average pilots. Flight school students fly less obviousely but they adjust 150 hours rate in training and conversion centers. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Russians fly 150hrs a year in tactical aviation (generic pilots) and up to 300hrs for 1-St Class and Snipers. Army aviation and Strategic Forces fly even more. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Russians fly. In combat conditions as well. Maybe, Chinese also. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

So why neither Chinese nore Malaisians, nor Algerians or Kazachs or Russian VKS and Navy don't suffer these problems with their Su-30s? :) Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

This is not the flaw of Su-30MKI but a guilt of IAF liasion services. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Remove dumbs, slowpokes and corruptors - and you'll be fine :) F/A-18 is not as cheap to operate as it should be as it is a medium weight fighter. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

A good idea. Russian Navy buys Su-30SMs as its main and only shore based combat aircraft. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

What pressure could be made on sovereign state like India for will to strengthen its defence units with LR SAMs? Is it a joke? And BTW S-300V-4 is not AF but Army AD system. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

I think Indian Army should get S-300V-4 (S-400 version for Army War Theater AD units). Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

And MiG-29UPG as well. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Well, bispectral ones are 101KS Atoll (Su-57/Su-35S) indigenization for sure cause EADS doesn't have such matrix tech. I won't be surprised when it will be revealed as one of the first T-50 TOT batch piece :) Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Bispectral ones or IIR as always? :) Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

That's true about weapons for a war and not true about engines lifetime. Since Al-31FN is based on Al-31F Series 2 and 3, it has a 1400hrs lifetime. Al-31FP (based on Al-31FM-1 or Al-31F Series 42) has it about 2500hrs. Al-41F-1S (117S) has 4000hrs. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

How can middle-weight fighter fitted Kaveri be installed to heavy Su-30MKI??? Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Who has said you this nonesense? :) Produced - may be, designed - no. Отправлено с моего XT1080 через Tapatalk

Of course not. I'm just saying canard is not MKI-specific feature and it hasn't been designed by Indians for it or even ordered as a must have feature.

Canards on T-10 was a Simonov's idea first time appeared on T-10K (Su-33) to compensate heavy nose section weight. Simonov has called this scheme Horizontal integrated triplane.
