IAF Su-30MKI - Missile bus with lot's of different weapons

(If added) what line do you guys think it will be added to ?

I think it would come after the Gripen. And then they folder the two Tornadoes and move the FGR.4 after the F.3 folder.

Astra Mk.3 is now being tested on the MKI by the looks of it

Absolutely not. Everything that makes it special and different from a regular Su-30 is either Israeli (like, 75%) or French (~25%). It should be in the Israeli TT (and YES, I know Gaijin declared Indian vehicles go to UK, but they also said once that they will never add top-tier premiums, so everything can change).

That’s an opinion 😭

I guess the British missiles and… Other stuff doesn’t count.

I think I might be fine with the addition of Su-30MKI itself
(In the short term, +1. I am not opposing this idea)

But also, I prefer a bit more domestic unique plane.
So… adding Su-30MKI, but will it be fine not to have it too soon?

I mean…
I want to see both SHar FRS.51 and Su-30MKI.
As long as India is our sub-TT. Why not both?
Just Shar FRS.51 needs to come out a bit faster than Su-30MKI. With higher priority.

I understand and am well aware that the majority of British, teaboo, or Soviets in this forum disagree with the Su-30MKI idea. :|
Because it usually can be considered as Soviet C&P.

But well! I am open-minded about both additions!

Fine to see but not in urgent level maybe?

Israeli missiles, bombs, avionics and electronics are what differ this Su-30 from others, not the very few British weapons - Israel was behind the MKI project.

Well, no. Israel is the one behind the project.

It’s a Russian Airframe and India is considered a sub tree for Britain, so if not Britain than the USSR. Israel would never be considered.
