Defence Industry Daily: Typhoon vs. SU-30MKI: The 2007 Indra Dhanush Exercise

Duck,
The IAF calls the MKI the Rhino?
That's confusing, since that's what the US Navy calls the Super Hornet...

Bombay, Flanker H is the codename for the Su-30MKI. The PRC Su-30MKKs received the codename Flanker G. The names are not allocated by NATO, but by the ASIC (formerly ASCC).

An interesting quote from the Defence Industry Daily article

Quote:

Exercise Indra Dhanush 2007 came to an end on July 12/07, reaching its crescendo with a 6 vs. 6 aerial combat involving 4 Indian Su-30 MKIs, 4 British F3 Tornado air defence variants, 2 British Typhoons, and 2 of the Royal Navy's GR9 Sea Harriers

So presuming that they were not GR9's, what were they?

Low obs,
I refer you to the first post of this thread, the Rhino's are the 30 Sqn IAF, equipped with Flanker SU-30 MKI. I is for India, as the crews will tell you in no uncertain terms!

Christ alive,
with that air threat I wouldn't want to be flying around in a sub sonic GR9 with no DL or FCR.

DL is datalink? The GR9 doesn't have one?

Low Observable - As Yeller_Gait said, the Rhinos are the No. 30 Squadron. The other two are No. 20 Lightnings and No. 24 Hunting Hawks. So far we have some 50 of them, only a hundred and forty more to go. Or maybe a hundred and eighty... :cool:
