No, I am implying India has been using Su30 since before 2000s, and till date had 5 crashes. They have been in recent years, after a series of trouble with engines. IAF uses them far more than Russian recommended hours, and it creates some problems.are u implying that india has 200 su30 mki before 2002 ? lol
except super fighter aircraft crash on regular basis
Fourth, it looks like the display jet which means that it was one of the mid range serials.

Which was number 130...or SB130.
well then it is not logicalIAF uses them far more than Russian recommended hours, and it creates some problems.
yes about 20 unitsNo, I am implying India has been using Su30 since before 2000s
Russian recommended number is too low. India follows western standards - 250+ hours. Originally engines needed overhaul every 1000 hours, IAF had to reduce it to 700.well then it is not logical
Original deal was signed in 96' for 40 aircrafts, to be delivered in 3 years. Successive deals were signed in later years, the second one being in 98'.yes about 20 units
Good Observation!Thanks Oscar, the camo scheme was the exact question I had in mind.
BTW< this looks more like a controlled descent into terrain or than a thump to the ground with no control over the aircraft.
$hit happens. The IAF is not some two bit AF, they are a high tempo, high intensity fighting force who push their men and machines to the limit- the number of flight hours (in excess of 250) MKI pilots fly on their bird each year are amongst the most any fighter jock flies anywhere in the world.Bad time to be loosing aircrafts.
Earlier IAF used to blame the govt. for not having Trainer aircraft's and older Mig 21's. I wonder who they will blame this time
How many MKI has crashed since its induction?
