A group of Indian warships today arrived in Vladivostok, the main Russian Pacific Fleet base, to begin drills with the Russian Navy after exercises with the US Navy.

Three Indian warships INS Ranvir and Ranvijay, both missile destroyers and indigenous Frigate INS Delhi, a Kirch Corvette and the tanker Jyoti docked at the famous Russian far eastern port, Itar-Tass reported.

Can anyone explain the Red Mi-17s in the second pic? I've seen them before, why are they painted red? Different role- SAR, amphibious assault??

+ in the first pic, they are not MKIs but SU-30MKs (paint schme, lack of TVC, Lack of Canards and have seen this pics with full story @ Livefist)

i think these red helicopters are to be used in an event of surrender... so that they can be viewed from long distance and are not fired upon

The Mi-17s are painted in Hi-Vis config since they are likely to operate over the Sea in a SAR role. They also have flotation devices fitted.

About the Canards etc, that is an old picture of Su-30s during a short deployment to Car Nicobar.

I think its Mig29...

No they are SU-30MKs ( before they were replaced by MKIs in mid 2000s) notice double canopy and paint scheme (Mig29 has never been painted as such) there a numerous pics of SU-30MKs being painted in this scheme before MKIs came in and adopted modern grey scheme.
