Not like its a small aircraft in any manner - ApG-68 sees it from the edge of its range and even the THP can make out whats coming.

PK neighbors couldn’t even hide this under airliners because this is massive reflective surface.

Russia is pitching a reduced RCS rebuild for the Su-30 and their largest customer is very very interested post 2019…

Lmao raptor of Asia as per rundians.

I wonder why ... Gambler -1 was getting plenty of attention during a recent multinational exercise.

Anyways welcome back ...truly missed your high octane insights.

They had more SU-30s than entire PAF'S frontline inventory...yet Modi was still crying out for Rafales.

Sir, in that range, even me could detect any kind of fighter jet with my naked eyes.

That is more of an embarrassment to NATO than an achievement. Looks like an IRST detection.

And su 30 has a huge radar cross section detect lot earlier than f16 in fact apg68 can detect Su30 àt edge of its range

Yes the radome on Russian SU-30s are white.
In any case , sir what's your take on the intercept detail.

Well its fairly routine, it’s not the first time the Belgians have intercepted Russian air assets approaching NATO airspace.The Russians aren’t trying to hide, they know they can’t - its meaning less posturing by the Russians, probably for domestic consumption.

Probably a little undue since the mechanics of the kill along with the resulting evidence is never going to see the light of day while amraam dodger patches keep the Indian fanboys happy.

And it really shouldn’t come to light because the way some of that evidence was captured would shake the idea of any “walls” around India to the core.

Unfortunately, these days thanks to the economic situation the walls in Pakistan are porous to non-existent.


And not back - just slowly cleaning my tracks where I want to

Belgium is quite far from Russia, I wonder which route it took and how it got there, what's it's range?

The intercept was over the Baltic, the Russians flew over the Finnish Gulf, it’s not far from St Petersburg

But Belgium is in western Europe how Belgium's F16s intercept Su30 over Baltic sea?

Baltic sea is quite far from Belgium

Apparently the lock was on the engines. The image maybe editted, does not rule out the fact that NATO jet has locked on Sukhoi when Sukhoi was on complete superior angle. It is like when you see someone's punch when it has approched your face but avoided hitting you in your nose. And you feel proud of detecting that punch in the air lol.

It was the mercy of Sukhoi's pilot that allowed NATO's boy to do that detection when F16 was below Sukhoi's feet. He has to thank God, he was alive to spread that lame detection ion the web.
