This might be something to do with how fuel-rich(stage of the afterburner) the engine is currently burning, or deviations due to the camera settings, because there are also images available when Flankers have an orange-flame in the exhaust while others have a blue flame.x.com

some excellent photos from vayu
ps why is su30 after burner is bluish while others are making red flame

what the actual hell ?
Must be a demo version, without engines or flight components maybe, ain't no way Chinooks cost 45Lakhswhat the actual hell ?
Model hogi bhai. 45 crore bhi kam hi hai Chinook ke liye.Must be a demo version, without engines or flight components maybe, ain't no way Chinooks cost 45Lakhs
That depends on how much fuel is injected into the engine at the time.x.com

thanks for the info and that pic is beautiful tooThat depends on how much fuel is injected into the engine at the time.
Generally, fuel (blue) < fuel (red).

Now I am curious to see if any document could be found on these AL-31 engines which explains what the reheat process is. Orange means that not all the fuel was utilized, while blue means that most of it was, so does it mean that the AL-31 engines take time to stabilize?That depends on how much fuel is injected into the engine at the time.

No, it means nothing. Different colors mean the engine is in the different working status.Now I am curious to see if any document could be found on these AL-31 engines which explains what the reheat process is.

The plane is trying to control the power outputs of the two engines to make different thrusts to turn around.EDIT: I wonder if this staggered activation of the afterburner is to prevent starvation through fuel feed lines, as fuel flow is exponentially increased towards one engine to sustain afterburner, and then the other?
Yes, you are correct. This is due to the different fuel-air ratio in either engine. The one with the blue flame burns hotter than the one with an orange flame.No, it means nothing. Different colors mean the engine is in the different working status.
That is incorrect - even if the differential thrust had a lot of magnitude, it would have given the plane a yaw moment, which is not the correct way to turn in this case.The plane is trying to control the power outputs of the two engines to make different thrusts to turn around.
I so miss the beautiful camoflage schemes and the aggressor markings on our fighters. Plus the squadron markings!

Blue is seen when it is burning efficiently.That depends on how much fuel is injected into the engine at the time.

Their current mount is the Su-30MKI..as much as I liked to see the MiG-23BN and MiG-27ML looks wise, they were the least reliable and most unsafe in terms of attrition. Especially the MiG-23BN. Worse than the much maligned MiG-21.
