Sukhoi Su-30MKI
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
Sadly conflict in present day has become a reality show rather than a serious thing. Hanging out in subs like R/combatfootage or watching some vice war documentaries will pretty much desensitize an individual..
Of course Internet makes people brave. They can defeat the whole world from the basement of house singlehandedly.
Being desensitized and being brave are two different things. You can watch all the porn you want doesn't change the fact the you wont be able to perform the deed when it needs to be done so yeah...
Even if not Peking it still shows that we have the capability to hit targets in SCS.
Imagine a Su 30 mki taking off from A&N travelling all the way to SCS, then launching its Bramhos on a Chinese aircraft carrier and sinking it and then return back to A&N.

In this Configuration , it will be used
As a Electronic Attack / Jamming Aircraft
Surely. But what concerns me is the problem stated in Livefist report:
"After grappling for years with the pod, the Indian Air Force finally in 2015 realised it simply couldn’t use them for two reasons. One, they were heavy — and when slung onto wingtip hardpoints, they cut into flying envelope like a butcher’s knife.
‘With the Russian pods, the Sukhoi is basically a transport aircraft,’ one of the scientists says."
(Link :EXCLUSIVE: How A Secretive DRDO Lab Is Saving The IAF Su-30MKI)
I wish the new indigenous jammer fix the problem and in near future, we'll see MKI with EW pods as well as AAMs, just like E/A-18. I know it is quite not as good as Growler, cos it still misses two more pods. But I guess even though it doesn't feature an integrated EW suite like Rafale or MiG-29UPG, it is still very effective EW platform to counter the challenges of west.
Any idea if it was used during Op Bandar as a part of the cover for Mirages?
And if possible, can anyone explain or atleast send a detailed account (article or PDF) of Remora ECM pods? I can't find much on the internet.

The Growler have a solid EW attack suit, its electrical wirings are rated for high capacity and designed to work in intense electromagnetic environment without any interference,and it's gun is replaced with some crazy EW equipment.
We can also make MKI like growlers,the production line is still open. Two squadron airframe can be made and later convert to EW attack fighter.
r77svd not regular r77
normal r77 effective range 50km
new r77 rvv sd
new r77 with rvv sd effective range 110km
difference is the holes near the warhead
the one in video is r77 rvv sd 2010 or later batch dont ask me how i know the year but trust me( if not just google
)

I am dreaming of the day when our Sukhoi's and Tejas will be flying with just Indian A2A missiles (Astra 1, Astra 2, Astra IR). Rudram, SAAW & Guided Munitions. By then we should have couple of Squadrons of Tejas Mk1A and few Sukhoi's with Super Sukhoi upgrade.

The increased power is needed not only to create a reserve of traction. It is needed to power the more advanced avionics on board. Thanks to this, it became possible to install a powerful radar on the aircraft with an increased detection range of air and ground targets and to provide power to the electronic warfare system.
