Naval strike role? Where do we use them in Naval Strike Role? I mean does Navy Operate an off-shore Squadron of SU-30 MKIs with Weopons like Brahmos etc or does IAF Operate them on behalf of the Indian Navy?
IAF? Please share some Sources on this claim please. This is the 1st time that I am hearing something like this.
If it is true than it is good news but in my opinion Indian Navy should also Operate Definitely Offshore Squadrons of SU-30 MKI and station them in their Naval Air bases like INS Hansa, INS Rajali.
I personally would prefer if Indian Navy would Procure 2-3 squadrons of SU-30 MKI.
Iaf don't like those idea. IAF responsible for naval strike and uses two sqn. Now su30mki with brahmos. Navy only carrier based fighter jets. Money also a factor.
IAF don't like those idea. Costly for navy. IN can consider mmpa for brahmos a or/and teddy.
IAF having naval strike group, which can also do other roles. Now su30mki [40] before jaguar. Since IN can handle any threat from surface ship, iaf now a days don't give a lots of importance to it, but keep/having naval strike group. Naval strike is a req for mmrca. May be in future once teddy arrive in numbers, IAF may consider giving a little importance to it, but keep naval strike groups including air to air/ air to sea. Also I think IAF deploy jets from their bases.
Indian Airforce is responsible for Naval strike? 2 Squadrons? Which are these 2 Squadrons which you are referring to? Please name Those 2 Squadrons here.
Sorry, i don.t know Squadrons names. Iaf used jaguar for Naval strike training and having 2 sqn or something, old 1.8 decade or so, after that no much. Last time I heard , 40 mki with brahmos. I have seen jaguar in action, in Naval strike training, just flying in formation.

Not necessarily true.
Su30SM is based on design of MKI. MKI is basically a Indian design incorporated on base Su-30. So the design change done on Su-30MKI has been implemented on Su-30SM which makes it much more maneuverable platform then the basic Su-30.
The design of SU-30 MKI was derived from SU-27 and also has a mixture/Fusion of Technology from SU-37 and the original SU-30 itself. After that SU-30 MKI was born and later SU-30 SM was derived from it. Also Sukhoi SU-30 MKM was derived from SU-30 MKI too.
Partially correct.
You are right but Partially Correct here. Those SU-30 MKI which were delivered to India without any Canards and TVC engines were known as Sukhoi SU-30 MKs. In 1996 ,india had placed an order for Sukhoi SU-30 in 5 Different Batches. The 1st Batch consisted of 8 Sukhoi SU-30 MKs. 2nd Batch consisted of Sukhoi SU-30 MKI which had israeli and French systems integrated in them. After that, whichever Batch of Sukhois came all had Canards in them. So the number of SU-30s which we received without Canards are :
from su27ub/su 30 - Irkut Corporation.
But SU-37 acted as a Testbed for TVC (Thrust vectoring control) and TVC was used in Sukhoi SU-30 MKI. So in some way, Sukhoi SU-37 played a role in the Development of SU-30 MKI.
Irkut sold su30 to india.su30mki derived from su30 with is derived from su27ub. Irkut developed su30mki to meet iaf requirement using tech from su37 etc with french equipment, canards is for balancing weight due to bars radar. Irkut build sukhoi trainer. Chinese su27/30 different.
