Seriously? You could have ordered the contender. EF Thunder. I think it was finances which stopped Pakistan.

But how many on Su30 and Su27 :hitwall: Clearly, Su30 and Su27 is NOT the dominant fighter in PLAAF in terms of numbers.

Thats training hours. How many hours were they clocking on Su30s or Su27s?

The article was about Chinese first division flying Su27s. They were only clocking 120 hours. In 2007, IAF was clocking 200-240 hours on Su30s. http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/india-signs-deal-with-russia-to-swap-fighter-jets/28224/ in 2005-06, Su30s operated by India had average 1500...

Indian french Mirage don't suffer that many crashes, nor we hear about so many issues with them from IAF. They are older than Su30 MKIs.

100 fighters is NOT a "very small number" by ANY stretch of imagination. Do provide me a source of 200 hours though.

Su 30 MKI in India has faced majorly engine issues.

https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/772471.shtml Sorry dude, you don't know what you are talking about. China had 100 Su30s by 2004. And Su30 is NOT third gen aircraft.

False. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/su-30-fleet-plagued-by-engine-woes-poor-serviceability/story-CUNvrCuhWdK0w4J6jVecIK.html India does not manufacture those ball bearing neither it manufactures engine.

Because they do not put that much stress on the plane.

Yes they are. They are worthless because they cann't fulfill the Indian need.

No, its not blaming the fighter but the fighter is not fit for the scenario India wants to apply to. High Intensity War. Its worthless there. Its useless in the training for such a war. Its a terrible selection of plane for the job. Chinese fly 120 hours a year. IAF 200 + hours a year per...

Chinese are moving away from Russian design into their own designs like j-10X. Engine is still a big issue for them though. BTW, Chinese pilots average on about 120 hours of flight time a year. IAF is close to 200 or more. Clearly, someone is doing more intensive training than the other. Once...

Well as I said, if Chinese on the forum want I can post pictures of Chinese soldier in errr... not so good shape after this conflict. The site rules do not allow me. If owner agrees, I can do it.

The guy is literally lying between the legs. LOL!

I have pictures of chinese soldiers with heads detached from this conflict in Galwan. If the site owner allows, I can post it. Wanna enjoy :enjoy: ?

Not even from the same video. Its from near the lake. you can see the boats. Its from an earlier skirmish.

Thats a Rafale like platform or F-18 like platform. Very much possible but judging that India is already buying those from outside, why they will go for such a platform. Actually... now you mentioned it, India has somewhat of a similar program(s). Its Tejas MK-2 or as they call it now Tejas...

Su-30MKI is a worthless platform inducted by India due to purely political reasons. Indian Airforce conducts its training for a high sortire rate, through out the year. Indian Gagan-Shakti exercise is an example. Low availability and low engine life of Su30MKI makes these planes a dead weight...
