Sukhoi 30mki

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and Air Force Chief RKS Bhadauria today inducted South India's first squadron of multirole Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jets, modified to carry BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles

The India Air Force (IAF) will carry out fighter jet operations from four airports in the north-east and two in West Bengal as part of training to familiarise pilots in coordinating with civilian operators.

A Sukhoi-30MKI multirole fighter jet of the Indian Air Force carried out a high-speed manoeuvre known as the "vertical Charlie" in a salute to Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria at Hindon Air Base in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad today.

The Air Force today scrambled two Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jets after the Army detected a Pakistani drone flying close to the border in Punjab's Khemkaran sector, sources said. The neighbouring country responded by sending two of its American-made F-16 jets.

The Indian Air Force is in the process of equipping its Sukhoi-30MKI with Israeli SPICE-2000 laser-guided bombs, as part of its effort to make the fighter jets more potent, official sources said.

The Defence Ministry on Tuesday rubbished Pakistan's claim of shooting down a Sukhoi-30 jet of the Indian Air Force (IAF) during a dogfight last week, saying the claim appeared to be a cover-up for the loss of a Pakistani fighter jet.

A Pakistani surveillance drone was shot down by a Sukhoi-30MKI of the Air Force in Rajasthan's Bikaner today, sources said. This was the second drone to be downed by the IAF in a week; the first was taken out over the Kutch region of Gujarat by an Israeli-designed SPYDER surface-to-air missile system on February 26, according to reports.

The manufacturing facility of the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd producing Sukhoi fighter jets can be used to build the fifth-generation fighter aircraft if the government decides to go ahead with the proposed Indo-Russian joint venture, T Suvarna Raju, the chief of the aerospace behemoth, has said.

Nearly 20 planes of the Indian Air Force or IAF will perform touch-and-go landings on a stretch of the Agra-Lucknow Expressway today, starting with a 35,000-kg C-130J Super Hercules aircraft that will drop special forces commandos to secure the landing zone as part of the special drill for the fighter jets that will follow.
