Uganda spends 740 million on some Russian fighters- presumably Su-30s.
Unless I am mistaken, India does operate IR R-77 and R-27s, and have quite a few aircraft capable of employing them.

Su-35 still flying around.
Is the internal gun going to be a new model?
It’s not all about range. Apparently they both have their ups and downs – I think Kh-31 sustained speed is greater.

Big photo of 20380.
What a photo – Gorshkov, Soobrazitelny and Boiki all in a line.
Apparently Soobrazitelny is basically completed.

The happy crew- with the menacing bow of the Gorshkov behind it. That thing reminds me of a mini 1144.

Good footage inside an A-50.


Deploying helicopters to Libya? How reckless, sheesh.
@ Jo Askura:
I thought 117C topped out at 142-145kN?
You think the Russian definitive standard will have a more advanced engine than PAK-FA-MKI ? (ok ok I’ll call it FGFA). I would think they will try to unify as much as possible. No reason not to give the Indians the latest engine either.
Soviet era fighters has always been more manoeuvrable and agile than Western design. They were the first to use trust vectoring on a flying a/c… and while the USAF was studying low RCS, they thought the future would be to agile a/c, not subsonic “stealth” a/c.
So it’s not surprising they do well in simulation against Typhoon, Rafale etc…
That’s quite a generalization, and an inaccurate one at that. MiG-31 and F-16 say hi.

“South Korea is to invite bids for a new stealth cruise missile to equip its Boeing F-15K Slam Eagle, following technical glitches implementing Lockheed Martin’s AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).”

The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of a possible $72 million deal to upgrade the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s Boeing F/A-18D Hornets.
“The proposed sale will cover a mid-life upgrade to the service’s eight-strong fleet of aircraft, as well as six Raytheon ASQ-228 advanced targeting forward-looking infrared pods.
In addition, the deal will include software development, system integration and testing, test sets, aircrew and maintenance training, support equipment, spare and repair parts, and other elements, the agency said.”
