Subject: AvWeek on Su-30MKIs at Red Flag
Phaid    8/23/2008 5:19:05 AM
Aviation Week has a writeup about the Su-30MKIs operating at the Red Flag 08-4 exercises that concluded yesterday.

www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story.jsp?id=news/INDI08218.xml&headline=India%27s%20Advanced%20Su-30MKIs%20Come%20to%20USA&channel=defense

Contrary to previous reports, the Flankers did operate their radars, but in a restricted training mode. Some of the other restrictions they operated with are interesting as well.

Additionally, a few more interesting writeups:
 
From Thaindian News: US Air Force wants IAF regularly in Red Flag exercise. Welcome to the club.
 
From The Hindu newspaper: Nevada war games in crucial phase. Nothing stunning here.
 
And finally, from The Telegraph: Flying Blind, Indian Sukhois 'Shot'.  Aw, poor Su-30s weren't allowed to use the full extent of their capabilities in an exercise and got shot down by simulated SAMs.  Gee, that sounds awfully similar to what happened to the USAF in exercises over India...

I hope Sweetman didn't pen that article as it's pretty sub standard... 
 
there are a few editorial errors in it that seemed to have skipped and slipped past the editor....
