Su-30 export version codes are as follows;

Su-30 MKK stands for China
Su-30 MKI stands for India
Su-30 MKM stands for Malaysia

If Pakistan buys Su-30, it will be known as Su-30 MKP.

These planes aren't really a match for western fighters.
I heard that these are the biggest challange to western fighters right now, especially the MKIs. So that is why i wanted to know the capabilities of Su-30 and what was added in MKKs and MKIs.

Seems to me u guyz r interested in Russian Military Sites. U might wanna chk out this site which has loads of links n gives access to a lot of information.

PS the site gives links to sites which are in russian. Check the small red tabs below which tell u which languages the site is offered in. If its only russian u might as well ignore it. :roll

Hey, I was reading some time back in may be bharat-rakshak.com that the SU-30 MKI can also function as a mini-AWAc platform. Is this true?
Also, there were other features that it said something that it can switch off its radar and scan the area in passive mode meaning with only its infra-red scanner functioning. I dont think I am acqurate in this but has anyone heard of this. And if I am acqurate, how does this help in combat. Does it make the aircraft in-visible.....I don;t think so.

I also heard that India is reviving its AWAC program but now is going to use the Brazilian Embrarer jet instead.

Also, gf0012 I want to unlock the thread of anti-aircraft & missile for india in order to post some more information.

There is a device in the SU-27/3x and MIG-29s that was called IRST (Infra Red Search and Track), U might notice a glass ball in front of the canopy of SUs and Migs. They have wide angle passive IR sensors and a laser range finder.It is no match for the radar since it's range is limited and it can be easily fool by natural occurance (sun glint, cloud edge, etc). I don't know about the invisible part but if u can catch the enemy on the tail and they have no EW platform in range and the pilot didn't bother to look back, then maybe u can give him some surprise.
