India’s capabilities to maintain its Su-30 fleet quickly and effectively has received a boost after a new deal signed with Russia. The agreement allows for the Indian Air Force (IAF)
to receive spare parts of Su-30 aircraft within 30 days instead of the
previous 12 months. The five year agreement will cut away red tape such
as license, customs clearance and bank guarantees which in the past had
to be completed for each part ordered. This will allow for the IAF to
keep its Su-30 fleet at optimum levels of operational capacity. For two
countries who love bureaucracy, 12 months to 30 days is quite an
achievement.
Adding to this, there have been rumors that Russia will upgrade India's existing inventory of Sukhoi-30 MKI (NATO Flanker with Canards) to Super Sukhoi. It will impart Indian MKI a considerably smaller RCS (Radar Cross Section), better weaponization and slightly improved Vectoring Thurst.
