IAF Jags , Sukhois with CV71 Hornet/Growlers somewhere in Eastern IOR . Just wondering how did Jags reach so far into ocean from A&N? Did they got buddy refuelling from Su30MKI ?

Jaguar has really long legs indeed.. When the A&N Joint Command was established in 2001, they were the first fighters to visit Port Blair in Nov 2001. Witnessed quite a few touch and go that day. I was told they flew from Tambaram straight to Car Nic. Those adour engines must be very fuel efficient.

Su-30MKI buddy refuelling, refuellers can also be arounds.

Did anyone notice the F18s are in growler config? I wonder why :hmm:

Were these Sukhoi armed with Brahmos ?
It is not a combat mission, so no.

Are there any Air to Ground missiles in IAF inventory(other than brahmos & Jaguar rockets)?

on a side note, it doesn't look like there is a comprehensive list of munitions used by IAF anywhere on www.

We use a plethora of unguided soviet rockets (like S-24 or S-13), mainly on Mig-21s and Mig-29s (but can also be used on other Russian jets like Su-30MKI), as well as on helicopters (Mi-17s & Mi-35s).

At least one type of Russian guided A2G missile exist in our inventory but I couldn't find/remember it ๐Ÿ™
