Su-30MKI set for a bigger bite? India weighs 300-km Russian RVV-BD missile upgrade

[Raj-Hindustani]

Pakistan will always maintain first shot advantage, the PAF has been clear on that. At best, this missile may pose some threat to the Erieyes only, but the track record of this missile in Ukraine is awful at best anyway. The range, as with all things Russian, is massively inflated and the actual range will be a lot less anyway. We know the numbers for the performance of the radar for the Su30MKI (Raptor of the East/mini-awacs) with its actual performance with 2 x Su30MKI shot down by the PAF to date.

Pakistan can get the required information from Ukraine on the actual field performance of this missile as a matter of course anyway.

Ahh, can’t we say the same when India is already evaluating the P-15 missiles?

You simply can’t generalize it like that. “Who can shoot first” depends entirely on the specific scenario, timing, situational awareness, targeting, and operational planning during the time frame. There is no universal rule that one side will always get the first shot.

Russians certainly understand Indians very well. Whenever Russians are desperately short of money, they always manage to make a substantial profit from "shrewd Indians."

Even though Indians have been burned by the Russians countless times, they remain very willing to keep the process going.

Well. Russian has milked china over the past decades for selling technologies, and weapons.. not less than india.

China bought large numbers of Russian aircraft, air-defence systems, missiles, engines, ships, and associated technologies. Examples include Su-27/Su-30 fighters, S-300 air-defence systems, Sovremenny destroyers, and numerous missile/engine technologies.

Why

Why? Is there an official, universally defined classification for 4.5 Gen? because if you are referring to AESA radar, it is a common feature of many 4.5-gen fighters, but it is not what alone makes an aircraft 4.5 generation. and it's not mandatory to have it

Overall avionics, sensors, weapons and flight-control architecture were substantially more advanced than the original 4th-generation baseline.

4.5th Gen is AESA, high capacity data link and long range BVR.

SU-30MKI (In it's current form) does not have this, no use trying to paint a turd.

It was good for the 90s, now it is obsolete or veering on obsolete.

The Rafales India has are true 4.5th Gen, comparing an SU-30MKI to them is just....well...bizarre.....

Maybe next time thinks before you type, cause truth hurt more, we did learn a lot from the Russian and can we say the same about India?

For example, we are moving on to test our own VCE engine, and our southern neighbor still struggle on kaveri.

Don't take on your EGO, these are the facts.. just Google it

The way Chinese talk about India as if Russians gave China everything for free without ,milking them....

"the Su-30MKI was considered one of the most capable 4.5-generation fighters in service."

Don't expect to reason with the person who said that.
