ORIGINS- HOW THE ICONIC SUKHOI SU-27 FIGHTER WAS BORN

@Major Shaitan Singh

Thanks for posting this highly informative article

Now that Rafale talks are collapsing; let us upgrade SU 30 MKI as much as possible
and get some 500 Su 30 MKI
 
Waiting for SU 35
 
A very good plane. A simple and yet, an effective air frame.

A dangerous opponent that never saw any major war.
 
The AL-41F engines currently fitted to the T-50 are unreliable. The radar is inadequate. The airframe is poorly built, with serious implications for the jet’s stealth profile. And in light of these defects, $6 billion is too much to pay up front. But as owing to the fact,Russia’s new T-50 stealth fighter is fast, maneuverable, heavily-armed and hard to detect on radar.But according to Indian air force officials, in practice the Sukhoi-made stealth jet is also too expensive, poorly engineered and powered by old and unreliable engines. Major why/? 8-)

Apart from the Cobra Maneuver - I love the "Vertical Charlie" maneuver performed by IAF Su-30MKI at the republic Day Parade.
