IAF Su-30MKIs to exercise with US, France, Saudi in Desert Flag exs in UAE

[SQ8]

You took the attempt of a blatant troll thread puking fun. It is like a kid saying look I am invited you are not lalala but here you are taking the bait which makes you worse then the troll.

Stop acting like a betrayed wife. There is nothing wrong with having multiple exercises with foreign countries and there is nothing wrong with India having exercises with allies. Stop acting like a brain dead there is no cure for that stuff

So if I am worse than the troll supposedly by replying to him, what does that make you?

 

[Trailer23]

Good for all the other participants. IAF will make great moving targets for all the others to pick on.

...and thank God they won't be flying anywhere I live. Last thing I want is for a Su-30MKi crashing on my head. Pardon me but the Crash Track Record for those MKi's is a known fact. Every crash is blamed on technical-glitch.

By the way, what's the deal with this Journalist? Its like he's reading from a teleprompter fixed on the ceiling.

No Turkey or Pakistan in this exercise. Surprising.

IAF Su-30MKIs have had exercises at Al Dhafra with the UAE Air Force a couple of times. Is it worthy of any issue why there must be a huge attention to it ??

Su-30MKI is weaker than China's Su-35S which has more advance radar and more powerful engines and MAWS and better cockpit.

 

[Imran Khan]

these UAE guys can not even name an exercise without copying USA .

 

[The Maverick]

i think Pakistan is a regional super power, India is not there yet..

not with 9 billion defense budget and forex at half of the mighty Bangladesh at certainly not when 60% of your air Force is obselete mirage 5 and f7

 

[kingQamaR]

SU30 is at home here doing exercises and doing acrobatic air shows

first time used in a real combat vs potent force it collapsed like house of cards

 

[Windjammer]

		Common sense, Chinese Radars are not allowerd to operate within the NATO exercise. JF-17 participated in this exercise held in Saudi Arab with numerous top of the line Western Jets.

 

[The SC]

The aerial exercise 2021 desert flag will be held in the United Arab Emirates with the participation of 10 countries, including:

UAE

The USAF, the French Air Force, the South Korean Air Force, the Saudi Arabian Air Force, the Bahraini Air Force and the Indian Air Force will also participate..as well as the Kuwaiti and Jordanian Air Forces as observers..

The Hellenic Air Force will participate for the first time as an observer..


India will participate with 6 SU-30 MKI fighters ..

 

[Gomig-21]

Hopefully we'll get some great pics of this exercise. The Indian Air Force has been a strong participant of this specific exercise for a while, now. The Hellenic AF participating as an observer this time means they'll probably be flying next year. Same usually with the other observers.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

What about Pakistan?

That was just a bilateral exercise. This one is not a bilateral exercise but a multilateral exercise organized by US Military Central Command.

"Dodgers" going as well?

Interestingly - while PAF avoids mixing Chinese equipment with the west, generally the west especially the US are fairly respectful about OPSEC. On the other hand, Pakistani brethren are the ones running first to them with “Guess what I saw the Pakistanis are doing”
