No it doesn't.Canards do not act as control surfaces in MKI.
MKI has no need of an additional control surface due to the reasons I enumerated in my previous post.
This is not my view but the view of a retired air force official.
I dont think you have experience of workings of our PSUs.
Those 100 chaps got a luxury holiday in China plus a very handsome living allowance at the expense of Indian taxpayer :D
SU 30 MKI while technically having canards should not be considered a canard fighter it does not use canards the way other fighters do.
With its extremely large wings and tail wings(almost as big as wings of normal fighters), two stabilizers and TVC, it does not need another control surface in...
I am not sure how feasible it would be now to start negotiations afresh with Typhoon consortium.
At the pace these things go, the jet will probably be ready for MLU by the time last made in India Typhoon is inducted.

I think that punishing those two marines wont bring our guys back.
I am happy Indian govt. is pragmatic about this issue. We gain nothing...
Pls stop talking BS.
That is not how it works
.All militarizes including your own punish criminal activities of their soldiers themselves.
It is simply the incompetency of your previous govt. who thought they could roll over India like they do to poor east african countries, that created this...
Why is the fate of two criminals such a big issue in Italy in the first place ?
I don't see Italy making a huge fuss over its other citizens who have committed involuntary manslaughter in other countries ?
Is it simply a case of under estimating India's resolve to punish murderers of its...
Finally the govt is showing foresight and cojones.
This is what me and some same fellows have been arguing all along.
Our defense is strengthened not by buying 126 rafales asap but by making the most bang for buck deals across the spectrum of industry.
On the other hand, ex air force officials...
