This particular slide is not applicable anymore. IAF fulcrums are slightly more advanced than current IN fulcrums when it comes to EW.

did anyone download it before it was taken off the Tube?

The video didn’t contain any new details barring the weapons bay design.

The Mem-Saabs 🙂

The two seater is not dead (yet).

The fighter is being developed on the basis of the Russian perspective aviation complex (PAK FA), of which T-50 is a prototype, to India’s stringent technical requirements. Further development of the program envisages design and development of a two-seat variant and integration of an advanced engine with increased thrust. The two sides are supposed to cooperate in joint marketing of the aircraft in other countries.
Analysts say India’s choice of Russian avionics is a logical step and in line with previous joint programs.
“It would be reasonable to assume that the model adopted for India’s Su-30MKI [fighter jet purchase from Russia] would be continued with regard to its purchase of Russia’s fifth-generation fighter, based on the Sukhoi T-50 prototype,” said Douglas Barrie, air warfare analyst at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.
“The Indian Su-30MKI has some non Russian-standard avionics systems, but the baseline platform, propulsion and sensors are very much Russian, with final assembly of the aircraft in India. The PMF will, I suspect, be to all intents the production standard of the T-50, again perhaps with some non-Russian avionics and systems,” he added.

^^ I suppose that qualifies as travelling in the cattle class 🙂

Twinblade, what’s with the horrendous resolution? Did you film it yourself with a 10 year old Nokia?

Its from the Aero India stream on national information center’s servers. Those poor sods will do anything (including gutting the video quality) to provide a streaming video in SD resolution, suited for the lowest benchmark of what the government of India considers ‘broadband’ ;).

Anyhow, here’s a big pylon for a big bad missile 🙂

As far as I am informed, Iran has been quietly buying small quantities, over a protracted period of time, from former soviet republics. Around 100 is the number I understand they have accumulated. Logic suggests that if Iran can maintain F-14s and keep them airworthy this long, they can certainly take care of MiG-29s.

No way Iran has anything close to that number. Fars news agency is for the lack of better words, farce.

Can you provide a source that any and/or all are increasing production of parts for the Flanker Series at there respect of plants???

HAL has to deliver a total of 222 of which they have delivered ~ 110 and have to deliver ~ 98 complete build Su-30Mki in the next 6 years and 14 coming from Irkut as SKD kits (total ~ 112)
Irkut has firm contracts for delivery of 60 Su-30 SM (2 delivered) by 2016.
Knaapo is committed to delivering 48 Su-35 by the end of 2015 of which 6 have been delivered as per schedule (or is it 8?) with an additional order of 48-72 expected by the end of that contract.
Also there are 124 firm orders for Su-34 till 2020 (~25 delivered).

Just in 2012 alone 10 Su-34s, 6 Su-35s, 2 Su-30SMs were delivered to VVS and ~12-14 Su-30 to IAF. All the above firms have stuck to their delivery schedule till now. You are looking at a production of a minimum of 310+ aircrafts in a period of 8 years without counting Chinese orders from Shenyang or re orders of Su-35 and Su-30SM, or any export sales.
