Who knows the REAL weapons integrated with Su-30MKI? I know the Russian specifications enlisting R-73, R-27/R-27E and R-77 (RVV-AE) AAMs plus Kh-25MPU, Kh-29L, Kh-31A/P, Kh-59M and KAB-500Kr air-to-ground missiles. No problem with AAMs. According to UN conventional weapons register, India bought several hundreds R-27 missiles, 30 R-77s in 1999, 120 R-77s in 2000, maybe some later (no data for 2002 and 2003). But, until 2001 (including) India didn’t receive any air-to-ground missiles for Su-30MKI. Are there any Kh-29, Kh-31, Kh-59M or KAB-500 in India?
