MKM is pretty great at anti-shipping strikes.

Does it really matter that they did not have their armament for a year after initial delivery? Not like they were in any sort of combat role at the time. IDK, seems kinda inconsequential in the greater scheme of things.

Also, India had problems with crappy R-77s produced in middle of 90s. I don’t think today’s variants will have any problems.

EDIT: Also, how many Su-30’s does HAL produce yearly? Al-31s? Some recent numbers would be nice.

They are both vaguely similar nacelles, pretty obvious they have vast differences though. Then again, Hotdogs trolling is nothing new.

RE: S-duct
IMO, it does not, I think Sukhoi has made it clear they will not be relying on a pure S-duct configuration -there may be partial blocking certainly, but that’s a result of overall scheme not an attempt to hide the engine face. Don’t ask me about the photos, I do not know whats real and what is not.

And what exactly does the Su-34 have to do with Pak-Fa? Aside from using vaguely similar engines at this time?

likely Algerian (or maybe intended for the old Libyan regime) :diablo:
and 2011 and its still not delivered. a contract from 5 years ago..

It is a new aircraft. New line, new tooling, what exactly did you expect?

Weren’t you denying that Algeria was even getting Yak-130 recently?

Poland Signs $44.5M Deal To Modernize MiG-29s

It is really not much of a modernization…

The LEVCONS are definitely not an intake-masking device.
