It should be noted that India was pleased with the actions of Russian aircraft in battle.
Pakistan marked the second anniversary of its Air Force's operation during the Indo-Pakistani conflict on 27 February 2019 last Saturday. The Pakistani air attack was a rather unexpected response to the Indian Air Force's attacks on a training camp in Balakot on February 26, 2019, where, according to the Indian side, Kashmiri militants were being trained for battle.
Su-30MKI fighters of the Indian Air Force very successfully counterattacked Pakistani aircraft, while one of the aircraft even managed to evade the Pakistani AMRAAM missile. As a result of all the actions of Indian pilots, at least 10 of all 12 missiles fired by Pakistani planes fell very far from their intended targets.
“Despite the numerical superiority in the sky, not everything went according to the plan of the Pakistani Air Force. On that day, fighter pilots from both sides tested their strength in the sky for the first time in a long time, ”said Indian military expert Samir Joshi.
According to him, the Su-30MKI fighters in the end simply thwarted the attack of the Pakistani Air Force.
In another post, Joshi also stressed that the Pakistani Air Force jets were very well protected from the Indian Armed Forces anti-aircraft missiles, but the Su-30MKI counterattack was able to catch them off guard.
Now the Indian side, impressed by this, is considering a proposal from Russia to supply an additional batch of such Su-30MKI fighters.
