Wow I had no idea the Indians are getting ripped off so badly with those Su-30MKI prices. WOW.
This thing's been dropping all over India in the last two decades without enemy action. It doesn't even have a first generation AESA and no long range missiles either. Did nothing against PAF in 2019's skirmish. Which means the Su-30MKI is useless against JF-17s and F-16s. Didn't prevent PAF from shooting down a Mig-21, didn't shoot down any PAF assets, didn't prevent PAF ground strike, didn't aid situational awareness to prevent their own forces from friendly fire. Up to $120M for such a machine in a package presumably lol.
