i want to know about the recruitment,selection & training process for the su-30 project in sunabeda-2 ,HAL Township.

Hi, I do not have the recruitment,selection & training process. However, i think the procedures chosen are designed to intake pilots that are considered the best and have passed the most stringent training in IAF to fly this fighter. Basically, only the 'best of the best' (in IAF) fly the Sukhoi-30 MKI. -Dr Johnson

- Is this page about Su 30MKI or about other planes? I don't care if mk-1 does NOT have TVC if i want to fave some information about this plane. Also it is useless to compare it to F22 and eurofighter so offten. Jure

The Sukhoi 30 MKI is one of the world's leading fighters in roughly same class as F-22 & EF2000 so comparison relevant because all fighters come from roughly same class (world's leading air superiority fighters). Moreover, MKI, is a derivative model (OF Sukhoi 30) NOT distinct separate fighter (it is a heavily modified fighter) so distinctions have to be used to explain this fighter's individual abilties from the other fighters in its fighter family from which it comes from (Sukhoi-30 family). Please only make judgement comments if you are from military background, all other comments should be made as questions. -Dr Johnson

hi sorry, really ... no comment but .. what about a really new engine? contact me at freeside@myrealbox.com really new pls

Hey Dr Johnson ... I feel we should have got a 30 mm gatling cannon like the gsh-30-6 with at least 250 rds for the su 30...If u find a 6 barrel gatling cannon too heavy or whatever what do you think about a 4 or even 3 barreled gatling cannon...I feel the su 30 could be a much better dogfighter with this...What do you think??? basilik

[edit] AmEng/BrEng usage

There seems to be some despite over usage of American (AmEng) or British (BrEng) English varieties. There was an argument that an article which concerns a European topic is to use British English. However, no such convention exists; WP:ENGVAR makes no such statement. It does say that "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular national region uses the appropriate variety of English for that country.", but Russia does not have an appropriate variety of English. However, WP:ENGVAR does state "Where an article shows no signs of which variety it is written in, the first person to make an edit that disambiguates the variety—for example, by adding a word of distinctively British or US spelling—is equivalent to the first contributor in these terms". The first revision of Sukhoi Su-30MKI that was not merely a redirect page was created by Ajay ijn at 11:53, 8 July 2006. Referring to that particular revision, it is somewhat clear that that BrEng was used, as is discernible in section 1.5.1 with "b) Through the Colour Symbol Generator and Monochrome Symbol Generator Modules" (italics added). Therefore, I stand corrected and propose that that British variation be used on the basis of that point, not the incorrect justification "the usual 'convention' is that articles on European subjects use British spelling per WP:MOS".

[edit] Angle of Attack Claims

I have serious doubts that this airframe can pull 180 degree AoA as claimed in the article. According to the Wiki article on Angle of Attack, the highest demonstrated alpha was 89.8 degrees for ten seconds by a Su-35. 24.61.36.80 22:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Does seem to be drawing a long bow. I've inserted a tag asking for evidence. Moriori 23:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
