The Mig-35 OLS has problems and isn’t finished, would be a mistake to try to integrate that into IAF MiG-29s. Also they are supposed to have a new Zhuk variant, Zhuk-M2E.
Also what pic are you talking about, the one that I see on rianovosti english is one of a Su-30. Nice journalism.

Note: neither a Gripen nor an F-16 fanboy here, just saw that elsewhere.

“Second stage of government testing is completed by the Su-34”.
Sure Sure. My bet is the F 35.
And I will put some money on the F 35 entering IAF service further down the line as well.
IAF 2030 – FGFA, AMCA, F 35. 😎
More like, IAF 2030, Su-30MKI, FGFA, AMCMA, Tejas…..AND F-35? IMO, that would be a terrible idea.
Second serial Superjet flew today.
I am not well acquainted with the Indian Navy, so no comment, but in Air Force there is no space/or need for it, given Su-30MKI number increase, MMRCA, Tejas, T-50 AND the intent for eventual AMCA induction.
:rolleyes:
Please show a source. F 35 was not requested by nor offered to Indian Air Force. It is on offer to the Indian Navy which has not rejected it and according to report leads the race to equip IAC2.
Navy is a different story, though by no means certain that they will get F-35. For AF, it ain’t happening.
India operating the Sukhoi/HAL FGFA, their indigenous Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft AND the F-35 at the same time would be…. very strange
India has already rejected that F-35 offer.
Pogosyan has been declared the head of the UAC. His majesties rise continues.
Su-30MKI makes a twin engine MMRCA purchase pointless. If there is no trust in the Tejas program, go the Gripen route, at least it has a niche.

Some superb photos of the new Mi-8AMTSH. The projectors are of French origin.
now now my canine friend, don’t be mad at me because a mainstream aviation magazine said something bad about your favorite air force.
They didn’t say anything bad. They quoted what is obvious bull**** from “Georgian officials”. Either way, it shows what sort of unprofessional crap they tolerate, I would love to see the reaction if something similar was posted about a :western: air force.
