Su-30 MKI firing Kh-29 TE, which has a range of 30 Km. Its usually launched in a dive, (http://www.ausairpower.net/Kh-29-Kedge-Su-30MK-Launch-1S.jpg) which has the disadvantage of bringing the aircraft into the AD envelope. This MKI is firing the missile straight and level, and there is a Litening pod. A straight and level launch allows the aircraft to stay as far away as possible. Kh-29TE is a LOBL missile (http://edefense.blogspot.com/2005/12/25-years-of-service-of-russian-kh-29.html), so they have found some way to get the Kh-29 the Litening feed.
Is there any higher resolution? Thanks.:)
