    Yes I can see some advantages of Su-34 over Su-25 such as

    1)Can loiter over the battlefield for a much much longer time
    2)Would be much faster and can support troops across great distances
    3)has much bigger firepower

    disadvantages
    1)Much more expensive to maintain but heyy it would be better to make the su-34 do CAS than to develop a whole new plane which would be expensive
    2)Can’t operate from unprepared airfields

    Hmm, Su-34 if armed with some right anti tank and other weapons could become a good Su-25 replacement? It could take the CAS role as well as strike, anti shipping and limited air defence/interception.

    SO Yakhnot-M is the best Russian Air Launched Anti Shipping Missile?

    I thought Mig-29SMT/M1/M2 can carry two Yakhnots and a Flanker can carry three according to some sources.

    This thing is pretty armored, why is it like that? Is it going to perform CAS or anything like that? Also any info on it’s radar?

    That would’ve been a flipping crazy radar.

    Any info on the APG-77 AESA for F-22? Like what are it’s specs?

    Yes Gripen is a great plane, pretty capable except it’s range is a little too small but rather advanced and easy and cheap to maintain however it’s not cheap to buy, anywhere from 50mn to 65mn is the average cost.

    I’d rather go for something like a Mig-29M1/M2/SMT which is pretty capable if not just as capable as Gripen, except a little more to maintain but twice as cheaper to buy.

    and I mean F-18 is not an ugly bird like F-4 and therefore doesn’t deserve such a crappy name and Rhino? Rhinos are ugly 😛

    On top it looks like Mig-25/31

    I thought so too but it doesn’t appear to be like it.

    I don’t much about the MKM but it seems it’s very similar to the MKI just with some South African avionics, but otherwise it has canards, TVC and other things I think.

    I am not sure those BVRless F-7s, F-16s and MIIIs would make a big difference at all against all those hordes of Indian BVR Flankers, Mig-29s, M2Ks and not to mention Mig-21s.

    So what’s the problem with SH being kind of interoperabled with the rest of the US forces like you said F-35 could? SH can too right? It will be in service with USN for a long time now.

    So all 20 or so Su-30MKIs will knock out the entire PAF (well over 350 combat planes) on their own in the first few minutes of the war? Wow that would give them all over 15 kills each plus bonuses! Shocking…

    I thought it was way mor than 20.

    Don’t forget normal Flankers, Mirage 2000s, Mig-29s then Mig-21s will probably fly in.
