in india even when a small cesna or a trainer crashes there is a big buzz all around ,i am 100 % sure that no su30 crashed of iaf but news coming out of china does not come with any proof,heared they lost some j10 !
according to taiwan news paper china has lost atleast 5 su-27/30 and one is said to have crashed into mountains due bad wheather ,cannot confirm it has no news crosses the great wall of china
iaf loved this planes ,it is also called has Hero of 71 war .this was only plane that iaf pilots relied on,some of the early su-7 pilots where gnat pilots moving from a small gnat to huge su-7 was diffcult for them ,
ajeet was the name given to iaf gnat like mig29 is called baaz in iaf .and kiran mk are still used for training purposes and iaf aerobatic team surya kiran (rays of sun ) fly this planes
