Why did we buy a large number of su27 india and choose su30? On 27 july 2002, a ukrainian air force su27 fighter aircraft crashed into a crowd during a flight show in liviv, ukraine, killing 85 people and injuring more than 100 others, making it the most serious such incident in history。
The cruise accident was not uncommon, but it was a major one in 2002。
The ukrainian air force pilot, manipulating su27 at a low altitude to perform a very difficult dive. Su27 was not stable and suddenly lost control during the dive and fell on top of the tree. The two pilots escaped from the emergency ejection and were both injured。
The uncontrolled su27 crashed into an ir 76 and set fire, and the wreckage continued to roll forward into the crowd。
As a result, 85 people died, more than 20 of them children, more than 100 were injured more severely, and 300 others sustained minor burns and burns。
It was not the first time that an exhibition accident occurred in su27. In 1995, three su27 aircraft belonging to the russian warrior flight show crashed into a mountain in viet nam, killing four people; at the paris air fair on the outskirts of paris, france, a su27 crashed during a similar operation。
After examination, it was found that there was a mechanical malfunction in su27. But how can such serious casualties be caused by normal flight routes that avoid audiences as much as possible
Ukraine’s loose governance is responsible for this
On the same day, a flight was temporarily arranged to dive at a very low altitude, while the pilot changed the flight route without permission and chose to fly directly above the audience。
However, ground staff were not aware of this, and a significant amount of fuel was put into su27, resulting in a major explosion of the aircraft following a mechanical malfunction。
Following the incident, the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian air force, general strelinikov, the commander of the 14th air force, lieutenant-general onishak, the deputy commander of the 14th uaf, major-general tretiakkov, and his assistant, lieutenant-colonel yachuk, were dismissed from their posts and arrested by the public prosecutor's office。
As for the two pilots who claimed to jump from above the audience, they were subsequently sentenced to 14 and 8 years。
The problem of the accident was serious and reflected many of the problems of su-27。
Su27 has been selling for mobility, but is so unreliable。
Why, then, did india choose to buy su 30mki when it first purchased a large amount of su27
The reasons are as follows:
First, india does not have much need for susud。
In the 1990s, the sudan liberation army (sla) purchased large quantities of susou27 because of its weak air combat capability。
Since the turn of hostilities between china and the united states in 1989, sla has felt a great air threat。
On the basis of the existing six-and-seven, as well as the delayed build-up of eight combat forces, it is completely impossible to confront united states warplanes。
In the face of the taiwan air force in the early 1990s, there was also no advantage to sla warplanes。
Under these circumstances, the sudan liberation army is eager to take control of the air rights of taiwan sea and sea, and the purchase of air-powered fighter aircraft su27 is the most practical act。
The original sla purchase of s-27 was air warfare and could not attack the sea-to-ground at all. Today, such fighter planes are virtually non-existent, but they were important。
During the crisis in the taiwan strait in 96, the only warplane that our forces were able to confront the united states forces, f14, was su-27。
In addition to being highly mobile, close range can be used to launch r73 combat missiles, and most importantly, to launch r27 medium range missiles. In today's view, r27's performance is a piece of crap, but it solves the problem of the lack of aerial capability of sla。
For india, the demand for air rights is less urgent and less urgent。
India's main opponent is the pakistan air force, whose air battle core is f16. The military embargo imposed by the united states on pakistan also severely requires that it refrain from using f16 for war against india。
The indian air force's demand for air power is then small and there is no need to purchase su27, which is already lagging behind in the world because of its single performance。
Secondly, the indian air force's mode of operation requires su30。
In the decades of the indian-palestinian conflict, the primary role of the air forces of both countries was to attack the ground。
During the kagil conflict in 1999, the air forces of both countries had little air fighting and continued to attack the ground against each other, covering infantry operations。
For its part, india and pakistan believe that there will be no full-scale war between the two countries in the future and remain confined to border conflicts。
In this pattern of low-intensity conflict, india clearly believes that su30mki is more appropriate, having a strong ground-to-ground and sea-to-sea strike capability and being hailed as an aerial bomb truck。
Naturally, su's 30mki is also perfectly capable of air warfare, and india does not need an early su27 air war。
Third, the value for money is high。
India bought su 30mki, and the value for money was high。
The international sale of heavy combat aircraft su 30mki was only $40 million。
And my country's 10th is a light warplane, and it costs 40-50 million dollars。
It would be cost-effective for india to contribute to the development of its own 30mki industry。
In practice, it has been proved that the purchase of su 30 mki by india is not problematic. Over the years, 300 su30mki have been the main indian air force and are still the main fighter jet with a strong operational capability。
