My Indian followers,#Russians have benefitted a lot from you guys designing and purchasing #Russian origin gear for them to swoop in and buy some you guys paid to develop or revive. Exhibit A: Su-30MKI becomes Su-30SM. #εpsilon 
There are two distinct #Su30 lines, #Indian #Su30MKI at Irkut plant and its derivatives and #Chinese #Su30MKK at KNAAPO plant and its derivatives. The Su-30SM, bought in nos is from MKI lineage. To be fair #Russianairforce also bought 18 Su-30M2s to keep KNAAPO busy before #Su35S
Exhibit B: MiG-29K operated by the #IndianNavy made sure that the #Russians can buy a few for themselves after the #Indian production run was done. Else, they might have stuck to upgrading their Su-33s in the long run.
Vadym is one of those who was trained in 🇩🇪 and now destroys 🇷🇺 missiles and drones with the help of the modern #IrisT system.

The 🇩🇪 system is really modern, powerful and effective. Already during the first baptism of fire in October last year, the system shot down 100 percent ✅ of the targets, these are mostly cruise missiles, - says the anti-aircraft gunner.

Our "#BukM1" destroyed 10 🇷🇺 targets - #Mi24 helicopters, #Su30, #Su35 aircraft. At first we were stationed in the #Chornobyl area, then we moved to another one. When they offered to go to study in 🇩🇪 and learn new technology, Vadym agreed without thinking.
