they dont ? most mki is more india part than russian.
plus they have all the will of the airframe, they can creat part without russia.
only i can see is the problem is either the engine or control surface system.

i think the problem is more on the Indian air force itself rather than the aircraft, in a span of 10 years around 106 aircraft has been lost.
At it’s core it still very much is a russian plane with critical parts that are still russian at the end of the day.
That too, like i said they use them intensively so it does not help.
Critical parts that India can make almost entirely themselves.
At it’s core it’s a Russian plane made by another nation.
Yeah no, things like engine very most likely not.
HAL actually does produce AL-31FP on their own.

(picture from a HAL production line.)
Then blame is entirely on India lol.
More like entirely on HAL.
The Su-30MKM seems to have somehow lost ±5 degrees of its vertical scan range, but I don’t understand why it hasn’t similarly lost ±5 degrees of its horizontal scan range and remains as it is.
Huh welcome to the club.
You got chineesed buddy.
Also I recommend to run 3-4 R-77’s for short range + 2 Pl-12 for medium to long and 4 R-73’s for close range and dogfights.
Works like magic.
My man, this is the way.
Playing this after the F2 ADTW feels like I’m being handheld

Exactly.
People claim: “but F-2 is so much better because of AESA radar” , well got bad news guys.
At that br range missile performance matters more than radar itself.
Me when casually slinging Fox-3’s in my Su-30MKK while listening classic music.
how is your gameplay with the radar.
i gave up and only fight in WVR with HMS.
bvr for me in the mkk is dead
TWS HDN in the early match, like I always did with the Su-27SM;
I use it to see the general location of the of the enemy and then when in range I switch to HMS, since it is much, much more reliable to get locks and quickly shoot off missiles.
Tws is not horrendous, but it’s way too slow for me, it can get you killed so easily sometimes.
