Sukhoi was basically built for air superiority while Rafael was built for precision ground attacks while having the ability for air to air combat. Just add R-37M missile and N035 Irbis radar to SU-30MKI and it will become invincible in front of any Rafael
After, super Sukhoi upgrade. 1,Astra mk-2 (160+km) 2. Uttam AESA Rader (better then refal) 3. New Electronic. 4. New cockpit , This time mki could be comparable ❤️

Excellent analysis.SU-30mki is a perfect aircraft.I think India selected Rafael aircraft over SU-30mki because of its spectra electronic warfare system
yes spectra electronic suite is quite advanced but omnirole capability was also important in selecting, and anyways meteor and mixa are already world class , su 30 mki is old bird ,iaf is already working on supersukhoi by upgrading with our own AESA radar and astra mk2 etc but with su 30 its RCS is a big issue in today's arena ,we can only upgrade sukhoi in its wvr capabilities
@@yixinmei5854 bro but Su 30 mki has thrust vectoring nozzle it so it can easily dodge missiles at a close range without using chaff and other counter measures in visual range it’s the king , in bvr Rafael is the better fighter
Most of the technologies in su-30 mki are more than 2 decades old and to compare it with rafale-f-3 version which is only few years old may not be justified because su-30 mki is yet to be upgraded.
It is justified because in real world scenario the two fighting air forces are going to fight with whatever is available in its arsenal, an example would be that an Indian mig-21 had to fight with a Pakistani f-16 in 2019 when things were escalating. The reason to compare su 30 to Rafale is to make comparisons with Chinese Sukhois & j-15 fighters.
Pretty decent analysis and covering morew or less all the aspects. regarding the Passive Sensor comparison between OLS-30 and Optronique secteur frontal, just wanted to add some more details because there is a lot more than the maximum range. OLS-30 is basically a classic IRST sensor, being used in almost all Russian Fighter aircrafts and it only uses a wideband Infrared sensor, capable of working in Infrared frequencies only and Laser range finder is required to identify the target and find the range. Because of that, it is very much susceptible to atmospheric interferance and it cannot provide a proper video feed to the Aircraft's display. On the other hand, Optronique secteur frontal is not a single sensor but it is combination of a wideband IRST sensor, a TV/ Laser sensor working on narrow band visible light wavelength, capable of visually detecting targets at 50 km. The Laser range finder in Rafale has a whopping 40km+ range compared to 3.5km in OLS-30 of MKI. Because of these, Optronique secteur frontal works more like a passive radar, scanning up to 150 degree and can detect 100 targets which then can be combined via sensor fusion in the same display of the Radar. The visbile wavelength camera is very important where rules of engagement only allows engagement after visual identification.
In BVR, Rafale can only carry 2 Meteor BVRAAMs. Thus, in BVR combat, once Su-30MKI dodges 2 Meteors from Rafale, the Rafale will be at the Flanker's mercy. Then it will be 10 longer range BVRAAMs (10 Astra Mk1) on the Su-30MKI vs 8 shorter range BVRAAMs (8 MICA EM + 3 1,390 Kg Fuel Tanks). Once the Astra Mk2 is integrated with the Su-30MKI, the Rafale won't be as dominant in Long-Range BVR combat, as it is now.
Great episode👍🏼 Will be eagerly waiting if & when you decide to make a comparison between Su-30 MKI Upgrade (Super Sukhoi) and Rafale in future. I believe Dassault is working on upgrading French Airforce/Navy Rafale fighters to Rafale 4.0 or Rafale 5.0 version which they will probably offer their clients like India too to upgrade their export version Rafales to similar advancements. An episode on the same (ie. what do these upgrades entail?) will be most welcome too. Love your channel, thank you👍🏼
But su30mki's pilot and wso on 2bd seat gives it added advantage. As WSO could focus on weapons and pilot can focus on flying....with good coordination this combo could be deadly

Its a piece of garbage that belongs in a museum. Rafale was not designed that long ago. It’s about the same age as the su30mki. And the Rafale is considered decent by western standards. US jets surpass the Rafale in a lot of ways. Russian fighters are junk, will continue to be junk, and will be nothing more than museum pieces for future generations to see. Better to invest everything in indigenous or French options. Russia is a failed power. They have 0 to offer us.
Very well articulated and informative video, Su30MkI should be used for BVR being back bone and heavy fighter, so it's imminent upon IAF to improve it to Super Su program, add more EW suite, BVR weapon package, AESA Uttaam radar, brahmos ng, Astra series et al! Not sure if AL41 gets added to provide Power required for such operations, That said need 114 Rafale 4.1 order soon, Jai Hind
I think because of the higher t/w ratio, su30 mki has better kinetic energy generation. And because of flying wing design it has lesser air drag compared to delta wing rafale. So, within vidual range i think su30mki will dominate.. But after we integrate with aesa, better avionics and mwr, su30's bvr capability will increase significantly. And there were rumours that iaf trying to integrate meteor with its su30. If that happens and after induction of astra mk2, i guess its bvr capability can match with rafale. But main problem will be rcs. If our super sukhoi program again initiated (i lost update if ita still going on or abandoned), its rcs will also reduce. So, we have all the instruments to make our backbone formidable. Lets hope we do
Only two contries can test both types India & Egypt ....but they won't give their conclusion cause its quite bothering for the air forces..... But Egypt decided to cancel a new SU 30 acquisition and have ordered more Rafale....
The TLDR version of this video: Rafale blows the Su-30mki out of the water in almost every metric. Su30 has good performance in a dogfight but it doesn’t matter how good you are in hand to hand combat when you’re enemy has a sniper rifle that can see you from miles away.
One good strategy against such fight where it's numerically even . You should get close to the ground for heavy air and use mountains for cover and wait for the enemy to get approximately 30-40 km from you then peek out and use your cobra to point your nose and fire a Astra mk1 and repeating it for 4-5 times will give you victory .it will be really hard but not impossible . Meteor isn't that great when fired from deck and is only slightly better then Astra. Use the factor .
@@flightengineer1990 i am not saying su30 is better . But I am saying it's not impossible to dominate such platforms, it will be 50-50 if you follow such tactics . But the thing is numbers will be on your side .

@@userx946 no. Due to western sanctions, Russia was never able to get their hands on the latest chips. Their military technology still uses older computer architecture which is from the late 90’s or early 2000’s. All chips in Russian weapons come from western sources so they don’t really have much of a say in that matter. Now have they done the best with that they have? Yes. With the limited money and resources they did a pretty decent job. But is it anywhere near western tech? Absolutely not. And it’s due to the chipsets Russia receives for its equipment. You don’t have to believe me. You can look it up for yourself online. The su30 mki was ordered in 1996 which is why majority of the russian avionics and tech are of 90’s standards.
@@boejiden7093 SU-30MKI has several non Russian components including the mission computer, EW pods, helmet sights, towed decoy and more. There's a very detailed analysis of this aircraft on this channel itself. Regarding the whole chips issue it is severely overhyped. This war has proved it. Russia continues to produce more and more weapons despite sanctions. Other countries which over came chip supply issues include Iran who achieved a very successful drone program and North Korea who continues to make better ICBMs every year despite being under sanctions for decades. This proves one of two things either these countries make chips of their own or they have stable methods to smuggle chips out of west.
Sir as per my understanding I think angle of attack is the angle between cord line of the wing to the relative wind direction. FPV or flight path vector is the assumed or projected position of the aircraft relative to the horizon in vertical path profile or horizontal path profile. It is displayed in primary flight display to help pilot to land in runways
Guys guys guys... both are superior in their own sets of mission Su30Mki lags in electronic warfare systems which will come soon by DRDOs projects Overall even if we start comparing it.. we still have both the aircrafts in India, enough to destroy all of Chinese fighters..😊
Su-30MKI was better than Rafale FR1 and perhaps more comparable to Rafale FR2. Rafale FR3 is simply too much for Su-30MKI unless the MKI is upgraded with Super Sukhoi package. As of 2024 ...most advanced fighter in the IAF is Rafale, followed by Tejas mk1A and then Su-30MKI
During the 1st Airforce day of Rafale(just inducted), I saw Su30 & rafale were using every opportunity to fly together outside their routine. Su30 were following Rafale easily whereas rafale were giving their best to out manuver Su30
@@L.K.P_ Not all flanker but Su 30 flanker has special maneuver capabilities. Su30 only lacks a good AESA Radar & good BVR WVR missiles & electronic counter measures.
Rafale is better in bvr as well as within visual range fight. I've experienced this in DCS. Many times, it also dominated f22, which is regarded as the best of the best.
A few years ago during real training the Rafale (old version) had beaten the F-22, which upset the USA enormously. They tried to hide this fact, but eventually the videos came out and they had to admit that "well ok it happened" But that doesn't matter, we're all allies👍👍
Our su 30 have become outdated, IAF needs to hurry regarding its upgradation. It doesn't have missile approach and laser warning system, but Chinese fighters are equipped with these and they also have better radar and avionics compare to oue back bone su 30.
one thing you missed about the radars, there is difference between search range and track range.. in this category mki will be the winner since its radar can search upto 400km+. AESA radars usually have less search range.
Rafale is no doubt excellent fighter, but being old SU30 is still in a league of it's own. If only India gets SU 57 to replace SU30 it's gonna be advantageous to India. Good details in video. ☝️😎
Can we conclude following ? In 26th Feb 2019 type scenario: Rafale is going to be preferred choice as attacker due to Omnirole capability. In 27th Feb 2019 type scenario: Rafale is going to be preferred choice as defender due to great BVR capability. So if not today, SU30 MKI going to be obsolete in/after next 2-3 years as most battles are going to be BVR ?
Su-30mki has some technology which are Decades old while Rafale F-3 standard is quite new. I think after Super Sukhoi upgrade Su-30 will be better than Rafale F-3
@@MrShadw-qn5gp SU-35 also participated in our earlier MRFA competition and IAF choose Rafale over SU35. Super Sukhoi upgrade is nothing but injecting SU-35 capabilities in SU30MKI. So if Su-35 itself is not chosen over rafale then Super Sukhoi has no chance against rafale.
@@HarshVardhan010783 India also pulled out from FGFA program does this means Su-75 has no chance against Rafale. Su-30mki can be compared with Rafale F-2 standard. If the Su-30 can get new engine and avionics and AESA radar it can become equivalent to Rafale F-3. Su-30 have highly Frame with 3D thrust vectoring nozzles. So it'll be king in close combat. Edit :- We've a large fleet Su-30s and Indeed Russian jets are behind in BVR capabilities but it can become WVR beasts. All i would say is IAF knows what they need. Rafale is better but Su-30s are not Obsolete
@@MrShadw-qn5gp Even if Su-30 can get new engine, avionics and AESA radar, all these features can't reduce its huge RCS. Plus it can't beat Rafale in BVR. So as an indian, i also hope Su30MKI has a better future after upgrade, but can't ignore the fact that close combat is going to be a rare situation in upcoming future. All countries are working towards long range missiles and BVR is going to take more than 90% future air-combat warfare.
Lets be bit more fair mate . Rafale $200M - Sukhoi $60M Compare Rafale with Super Sukhoi in future !!! Why compare Rafale with 20 year old technology !!!
@@boejiden7093 we already know almost everything about it. T/ W ratio, radar details, engine details, missile package, payload capacity, range it will carry. The only things left are radar cross section, which we can estimate to be slightly smaller than Rafale, turn radius and angle of attack, which we will get to know as soon as the prototype is tested.
@@LplusRatioLol it doesn't matter, the plane itself doesn't exist thus we would be comparing imaginary numbers against real performance numbers of an aircraft. it's stupid, point less and a waste of time
@@RohanSingh-zc4bm have you ever bought a car. Or even a phone? People typically look out for the next model, when it is around the corner for launch to compare if they are getting a good deal. Considering India might have to buy 114 Rafale under MRFA soon (which are great but very expensive), it would be nice knowing about another option in detail, should you choose to wait out the deal for a better one.
Fantastic topic for discussion. Much appreciated. SU or any other soviet aircraft have superior manuverities and agile in nature which is very good in dog fights. But its a technology of past. Raffle on the the other hand have lesser RCS with berrer avionics and some stealth features. But the aviation vision is fast moving forward to Stealth technology.Faster you spot enemy targets and able to lock on to it is the key of success. Therefore 5+ Generation machines in the only way forward. I am very sceptical about the AMCA project as DRDO have a great record of 25 years or more average delay. But our begger neighbours are announcing Chinese stealth fighter inclusion very soon. So we got to do something very fast to maintain our air superiority in the region ASAP.
Su30mki still have chance to dominant air space if we go for Indian payloads and uttam aesa radars .... su30mki ka main role samne aakr airspace ko defense krna air dogfight and attack role me hai
Waiting for the Super Sukhoi upgrade. That will make the Sukhoi way more capable then Rafale for the BVR combat. That thing is huge, imagine how many T/R modules you can fit in it!
Amazing Technology! A Passive Radar! IAF is soooo incredibly innovative that they put a large RWR in the Radom. Or maybe defense matrix doesn't understand difference between a Passive electronically scanned array Radar and passive sensors like Heat seekers.
I think absence of LWR, MAWS makes Su 30 mki is weak. Not only that, due to open air intake, engine blades are clearly visible which is very negative for su 30 mki. It can be easily detected with IRST and passive sensors. It has high RCS also.I am curious to know that what are actual possibility of within visual range combat? It's not about only between Su 30 mki and Rafale... But with all F15 ex, F35, eurofighter typhoon, Su 35 and Gripen. By the way, I am interested same comparison with super sukhoi...
I think rafale wins because it,s modern aircraft. It has better radar ,letest countermajor system, low radar cross section and carry top level missiles.
@@mr.mastermind4840 true. But the Rafale has superior situational awareness. The Rafale’s pilot will at least have a clue. Not to mention the Rafale has a better missile and almost the same one circle performance as the flanker.

Su-30mki can become best fighter jet of Indian airforce very easily. 1. Saturn AL-41F1 or Izdeliye 30 engine for more power. 2.Uttam aesa radar. 3. DRDO early warning receiver. 4. DRDO advanced self protection jammer. 4. New more powerful mission computer. 5. Glide bomb up to 1500 kg with 100 km range. We Indian are dumbest people are on planet earth. 1. We bought Su-30 in 1997 and compering it to brand new Rafale fighter jets. 2. Cost of Su-30 is 60 million dollar per piece and rafale costs 250 million dollar per unit. 3. Su-30 sacrifice in cross section but gains in super maneuverability. Example is India-Pakistan stand-off. 4. The amount of armament Su-30 can carry is insane.
Su-30mki doesn't have missile approach warning system?, as per my research Su-30mki has radar warning system (dhruti) and dual colour missile approach warning system
Sukhoi was basically built for air superiority while Rafael was built for precision ground attacks while having the ability for air to air combat. Just add R-37M missile and N035 Irbis radar to SU-30MKI and it will become invincible in front of any Rafael

A powerful AESA (uttam upscaled) radar and meteor class missile will really overcome the rcs disadvantage of the big old flanker.
Sir as per my understanding I think angle of attack is the angle between cord line of the wing to the relative wind direction. FPV or flight path vector is the assumed or projected position of the aircraft relative to the horizon in vertical path profile or horizontal path profile. It is displayed in primary flight display to help pilot to land in runways
Hello Defense matrix, how much does your own radar emissions play part in giving away your position?
Guys guys guys... both are superior in their own sets of mission
Su30Mki lags in electronic warfare systems which will come soon by DRDOs projects
Overall even if we start comparing it.. we still have both the aircrafts in India, enough to destroy all of Chinese fighters..😊
Su-30MKI was better than Rafale FR1 and perhaps more comparable to Rafale FR2.
Rafale FR3 is simply too much for Su-30MKI unless the MKI is upgraded with Super Sukhoi package.
As of 2024 ...most advanced fighter in the IAF is Rafale, followed by Tejas mk1A and then Su-30MKI
Sabse acchi baat ye hai ki rafale aur su 30mki dono same team ki taraf se khelte hai❤❤❤
Very good explanation. Love it!!!
Make more non biased video
During the 1st Airforce day of Rafale(just inducted), I saw Su30 & rafale were using every opportunity to fly together outside their routine. Su30 were following Rafale easily whereas rafale were giving their best to out manuver Su30
True Flankers are really good even without much upgrades
@@L.K.P_ Not all flanker but Su 30 flanker has special maneuver capabilities. Su30 only lacks a good AESA Radar & good BVR WVR missiles & electronic counter measures.
Superb comparison. Covered lots of points in a very organized way. 👌
Rafale is better in bvr as well as within visual range fight. I've experienced this in DCS. Many times, it also dominated f22, which is regarded as the best of the best.
A few years ago during real training the Rafale (old version) had beaten the F-22, which upset the USA enormously.
They tried to hide this fact, but eventually the videos came out and they had to admit that "well ok it happened"
But that doesn't matter, we're all allies👍👍
JAI BHAWANI BHARAT 🇮🇳 🇲🇺 BOTH ARE GOOD FOR BHARAT WHEN SIMULTANEOUSLY ENGAGE IN WAR JAI BHAWANI BHARAT 🐒🐕🐬🦚🪂✌️👍😎
Our su 30 have become outdated, IAF needs to hurry regarding its upgradation. It doesn't have missile approach and laser warning system, but Chinese fighters are equipped with these and they also have better radar and avionics compare to oue back bone su 30.
I guess Sukhoi's is our fleet backbone still they lack Aesa Radars 🤦🏽♂️
one thing you missed about the radars, there is difference between search range and track range.. in this category mki will be the winner since its radar can search upto 400km+. AESA radars usually have less search range.
I LIKE IT 🎉😊
Great video.. Back to the Matrix special. Want more videos like this.
Su 30 Upgrade Su 35🫡🙏👍👆🖕☝️🤟✌️👌
Nice video bhai👍🔥
Bhai thank you for this video, kindly do this type of content frequently.
Great explanation & comparison 👍
Very good analysis, leave ground attacks for Jaguar & Stealth Bombers.
Excellent technical explanation...my friend. Keep it up.
We missed videos like these!!!!
Sir great info provided by you please make more comparison videos of guns,missiles,Aircraft ,Army combat suit etc.
Why do we not make a naval version of su30mki to complete the requirement
And why do we not buy more su30mki as we can see that mrfa is not happening?
Beautiful video...waiting for part 2.
Rafale is no doubt excellent fighter, but being old SU30 is still in a league of it's own. If only India gets SU 57 to replace SU30 it's gonna be advantageous to India. Good details in video. ☝️😎
Sir please bring this type of videos for other aircrafts too , it will be really helpfull
36+114 Rafael and Su-30 into 150 Super Sukhoi is the best option for keeping china at bay .
Give Su-30s a SM2 level upgrade & K-77M missile & it'll give Rafale a run for it's money
Very nicely explained, good job done
Make a Vedio on J10 CE vs SU 30 MKI in air to air battle
No comparison
@@mangeshchalan8786 why??
I know the category is different but still....
@@F_W_AYMAAN seriously !!! Even j-16 is a cheaper knock-off of Su30 and Su-30mki has unmatched capability among all of it's variants
@@Shivam-kz2dg J10 CE is more superior than SU 30 mki in terms of BVR....
We really need Indian DCS community.
Sir yaha apane thrust vector control ko jyada consider nahi kiya hai.
Kiya hai, Dogfights mein Instantaneous turn rate ko discuss karte hue, whain par kaam ayega TVC
Very detailed video. Good info. Thx
Just One Qn, What's "Off Bore" ???
Can we conclude following ?
In 26th Feb 2019 type scenario: Rafale is going to be preferred choice as attacker due to Omnirole capability.
In 27th Feb 2019 type scenario: Rafale is going to be preferred choice as defender due to great BVR capability.
So if not today, SU30 MKI going to be obsolete in/after next 2-3 years as most battles are going to be BVR ?
Su-30mki has some technology which are Decades old while Rafale F-3 standard is quite new. I think after Super Sukhoi upgrade Su-30 will be better than Rafale F-3
@@MrShadw-qn5gp SU-35 also participated in our earlier MRFA competition and IAF choose Rafale over SU35. Super Sukhoi upgrade is nothing but injecting SU-35 capabilities in SU30MKI. So if Su-35 itself is not chosen over rafale then Super Sukhoi has no chance against rafale.
@@HarshVardhan010783 India also pulled out from FGFA program does this means Su-75 has no chance against Rafale.
Su-30mki can be compared with Rafale F-2 standard. If the Su-30 can get new engine and avionics and AESA radar it can become equivalent to Rafale F-3. Su-30 have highly Frame with 3D thrust vectoring nozzles. So it'll be king in close combat.
Edit :- We've a large fleet Su-30s and Indeed Russian jets are behind in BVR capabilities but it can become WVR beasts. All i would say is IAF knows what they need. Rafale is better but Su-30s are not Obsolete
@@MrShadw-qn5gp Even if Su-30 can get new engine, avionics and AESA radar, all these features can't reduce its huge RCS. Plus it can't beat Rafale in BVR. So as an indian, i also hope Su30MKI has a better future after upgrade, but can't ignore the fact that close combat is going to be a rare situation in upcoming future. All countries are working towards long range missiles and BVR is going to take more than 90% future air-combat warfare.
Great video ....thanks sir 👍
Sukhoi beast hain to Rafale class hain.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lets be bit more fair mate . Rafale $200M - Sukhoi $60M Compare Rafale with Super Sukhoi in future !!! Why compare Rafale with 20 year old technology !!!
Su 30mki price is 100 million actually the Russian su30 costs just 60 million
Can we compare these 2 to Tejas mk2 as well?
Tejas mk2 doesnt exist. What are u comparing? Blueprints?
@@boejiden7093 we already know almost everything about it. T/ W ratio, radar details, engine details, missile package, payload capacity, range it will carry. The only things left are radar cross section, which we can estimate to be slightly smaller than Rafale, turn radius and angle of attack, which we will get to know as soon as the prototype is tested.
@@LplusRatioLol it doesn't matter, the plane itself doesn't exist thus we would be comparing imaginary numbers against real performance numbers of an aircraft. it's stupid, point less and a waste of time
@@RohanSingh-zc4bm have you ever bought a car. Or even a phone? People typically look out for the next model, when it is around the corner for launch to compare if they are getting a good deal. Considering India might have to buy 114 Rafale under MRFA soon (which are great but very expensive), it would be nice knowing about another option in detail, should you choose to wait out the deal for a better one.
Fantastic topic for discussion.
Much appreciated.
SU or any other soviet aircraft have superior manuverities and agile in nature which is very good in dog fights.
But its a technology of past.
Raffle on the the other hand have lesser RCS with berrer avionics and some stealth features.
But the aviation vision is fast moving forward to Stealth technology.Faster you spot enemy targets and able to lock on to it is the key of success.
Therefore 5+ Generation machines in the only way forward.
I am very sceptical about the AMCA project as DRDO have a great record of 25 years or more average delay.
But our begger neighbours are announcing Chinese stealth fighter inclusion very soon.
So we got to do something very fast to maintain our air superiority in the region ASAP.
We want such types of video comparison between iaf aircraft ❤❤❤❤❤
Sukhoi rafale se thoda kam hai par emotion jude hai us sey, The Amraam dodger 💪💪
In cars its always driver. Is it still same case in fighterplane
Su30mki still have chance to dominant air space if we go for Indian payloads and uttam aesa radars .... su30mki ka main role samne aakr airspace ko defense krna air dogfight and attack role me hai
Waiting for the Super Sukhoi upgrade. That will make the Sukhoi way more capable then Rafale for the BVR combat.
That thing is huge, imagine how many T/R modules you can fit in it!
Amazing Technology!
A Passive Radar!
IAF is soooo incredibly innovative that they put a large RWR in the Radom.
Or maybe defense matrix doesn't understand difference between a Passive electronically scanned array Radar and passive sensors like Heat seekers.
Good analysis
I think absence of LWR, MAWS makes Su 30 mki is weak. Not only that, due to open air intake, engine blades are clearly visible which is very negative for su 30 mki. It can be easily detected with IRST and passive sensors. It has high RCS also.I am curious to know that what are actual possibility of within visual range combat? It's not about only between Su 30 mki and Rafale... But with all F15 ex, F35, eurofighter typhoon, Su 35 and Gripen. By the way, I am interested same comparison with super sukhoi...
what a great explanation of within visual range dog fight 😯
A comparison with super Sukhoi will be nice
How can you compare something that's not been built yet?
Everything is fun and games until you eat a Fox-3 from a Flanker.
Yaar mai DCS jaisi fight expect kar rha tha
Sidewinder ko letter likho
I think rafale wins because it,s modern aircraft. It has better radar ,letest countermajor system, low radar cross section and carry top level missiles.
Good Analysis
METEOR MAKES RAFAEL CLEAR WINNER IN BVR ..... BUT IN DOGFIGHT .. SU30 IS UNMATCHED 💪
It’ll never even get to the merge
@@boejiden7093 That would depend on the terrain in which the fight is going on. But this surely is not a fair comparison
@@boejiden7093true in dogfights flankers are scary
Days of dogfights is well in the past. It's like saying we will win in a swordfight but lose if in a gunfight .
@@mr.mastermind4840 true. But the Rafale has superior situational awareness. The Rafale’s pilot will at least have a clue. Not to mention the Rafale has a better missile and almost the same one circle performance as the flanker.
WVR WW1 aur 2 k jamaneh ka tactics tha ab BVR hi chal raha hain. Isiliye Technology Advancement required hain. Fire and Forget technology ko improve karna chaahiye. Countermeasures ko ignore karneh wala system hona chaahiye Missile mein.
Su30mki me aap khud modifications kr skte hai khud ke payloads add kr skte hai but Rafale lags there.....
एयर तो एयर की क्लोज फाइट में मिग 29 का डिज़ाइन बहुत शानदार है
Well I saw Round 2 video first .... aur ab mai ye dekh rha hu 😅
It doesn't matter which fighter you're flying... It's up to the pilot skills...We can shot down F16 with Mig21... So it completely shows that our pilots are the Best of the Best... Jai Hind🙏😎
Su 30 needs new AESA radar, Astra Mk1 and Mk2 missiles and maybe R37M
Within visual range is an obsolete topic in today's era. So the aircraft which can perform only within visual range can be considered obsolete.
Now su 35 vs rafale🙏
SU 35 any day
Make a video on Rafale vs J20....
what about dcmaws on su 30mki
Rafael is ofcourse best. Also, meteor is currently the best air to air missile in the world.
It doesn't depends on the plane,it depends on the pilot -Top Gun Maverick
How can they be compared they are not in a same catagory aircraft. Rafael is continuously improving platform so it is good is quite natural
Su-30mki can become best fighter jet of Indian airforce very easily.
1. Saturn AL-41F1 or Izdeliye 30 engine for more power.
2.Uttam aesa radar.
3. DRDO early warning receiver.
4. DRDO advanced self protection jammer.
4. New more powerful mission computer.
5. Glide bomb up to 1500 kg with 100 km range.
We Indian are dumbest people are on planet earth.
1. We bought Su-30 in 1997 and compering it to brand new Rafale fighter jets.
2. Cost of Su-30 is 60 million dollar per piece and rafale costs 250 million dollar per unit.
3. Su-30 sacrifice in cross section but gains in super maneuverability. Example is India-Pakistan stand-off.
4. The amount of armament Su-30 can carry is insane.
Regarding last point... Rafale has more hard points and payload carrying capacity..
@@NikhilKumar-tk3rh 38 Ton vs 24 Ton.
@@narayanyadav9210 that includes weight of aircraft as well...compare only payload carry capacity which includes fuel and missile...
Rafale is for intelligent pilots and SU 30 mki for Lionheart pilots who never give up in any circumstances.
Explain every Indian fighter jet with weapons
Su 30mki: Why You bully me !!!
Koi nahi bole ga ham first
ham first
Ham 1st
Awesome mind blowing blog
Su-30mki doesn't have missile approach warning system?, as per my research Su-30mki has radar warning system (dhruti) and dual colour missile approach warning system
Urgent need to upgrade sukhois and order rafale in mrfa deal.
