Su -30MKI equipped by the Indian Air Force
Su -30MKI played the role of "imaginary enemy" in the military exercise. According to reports afterwards, this imaginary enemy may be China, but there is another saying that he plays the role of Russian air force. Of course, the focus of attention is mainly on the Indian Air Force itself. One is to pay attention to the special edition of Su -30 in India, Su -30MKI, and the other is to pay attention to the technical and tactical level of the Indian Air Force.
According to interviews with American military officers after the exercise, American pilots believe that the Su -30MKI of India is superior to F 15/F 16 in combat capability, and radar and avionics are also superior to the old F 15/F 16. The electronic jamming system has the ability to disable American missiles and must enter the combat state. The Su -30MKI engine has no ability to prevent foreign objects, and the flight interval between each takeoff is 1 min, which affects the efficiency.

But as far as the technical and tactical level of Indians is concerned, the evaluation of the US military is not as high as that of airplanes. The main reason is that Indian pilots are inexperienced, unaware of the weakness of TVC vector engine, eager to start the vector state, causing energy loss, handing over the combat advantage to the US military and being killed many times. However, although the Red Flag military exercise exposed many problems and shortcomings of the Indian Air Force, the Indian Air Force's operational command, coordination and control capabilities, which appeared in front of the world media, were recognized by western countries including the US Air Force.
In 20 13, the Indian Air Force held a large-scale exercise code-named "Tiequan". This is an open exercise, which has been reported by many news media in western countries. In addition to Su -30MKI, Indian Air Force fighters participating in the Tekken exercise also include Mirage -2000, MiG -2 1, Jaguar, Il -76, C- 130J, etc. , the total number is hundreds. In front of the world media, the Indian Air Force finally successfully organized and coordinated a large-scale multi-aircraft joint exercise, and the Indian Air Force is still working hard on how to use multiple foreign fighters.
Compared with the Indian Air Force, the China Air Force has relatively few foreign exchanges. For a long time, the foreign exchange of the Russian Air Force has been limited to the exchange of visits between military officers and delegations. It was not until 2005, after the establishment of the Sino-Russian joint military exercise mechanism, that Russian fighters went abroad to communicate with their foreign counterparts.
In the recent 10 years' history of foreign exchanges, the China Air Force and the Russian Air Force frequently conducted joint exercises, which also reflected the China Air Force's ability of campaign organization and coordination and the pilots' technical and tactical quality, and won the praise of the Russian Air Force. However, in the 20 10 Sino-Turkish joint military exercise, our fighters were "beaten" (among them, our fighters were older). The result of this exercise is, of course, China's first air force exercise with NATO countries, and we are not familiar with the "routine" of the exercise, but through this exercise, we also have a new understanding of the concept of integrated command and joint action and OODA, and go back and make improvements.
At that time, the fighter planes sent by China were the older J- 1 1.
Generally speaking, China Air Force is still in the stage of reform and innovation in the field of training and tactics. Do not forget your initiative mind, absorbing the outside world and facing the future, is the main theme of the current Air Force. Not afraid of "losing face" and "paying tuition fees", it is the right way to improve the air force's combat effectiveness to exchange and discuss the reform of military flight education and training system, innovation of mode and mechanism, development of aviation training equipment, flight training benefits and training of flight talents.
J 20 fighter
Compared with the old enemy of China Air Force, Indian Air Force, China Air Force currently has advantages in the quantity and quality of fighters, and with the service of J-20 fighter, China Air Force has undoubtedly strengthened its quality advantage over Indian Air Force. In terms of joint training with foreign air forces, China Air Force is not very bright compared with India, but we also believe that in the near future, the more confident China Air Force will really go abroad and enhance China's prestige.
