GWALIOR: IAF pilots flying their 'top-gun' Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jets are developing a habit of simply outgunning their rivals. After 'splashing' F-15Cs and F-16s, they have now blown the British Tornados out of the clear blue skies.

Though neither IAF nor Royal Air Force were scrambling to thrash the other in Indra-Dhanush air combat exercise, fighter boys will remain fighter boys, eager to notch up 'kills' even if they are achieved in mock battles.

"The British should have brought their new Euro-fighter Typhoons. The Tornado-F3 air defence fighters were no match for our Sukhoi-30MKIs, which performed exceptionally well in BVR (beyond-visual range) combat," said an IAF pilot.

With a comprehensive package of super-manoeuvrability and firepower, the two-seater Sukhoi-30MKIs were a cut above the rest in the just-concluded 10-day joint exercise, the first such held between India and UK in 43 years.

"Sukhoi-30MKI is our golden goose. We don't want to expose all its eggs to even friendly forces. We did not exploit its spectrum of capabilities. For instance, we did not open all operating modes of its radars," said a senior IAF officer.

But what was shown was enough to dazzle the visitors. "All our pilots who flew in Sukhoi-30MKIs came out with silly smiles on their faces.

But the Typhoon, is an absolutely superb plane and we would like to operate it against Sukhoi-
30MKI, probably next year," said RAF strike command's chief of operations, Air Vice-Marshal Christopher N Harper.

IAF pilots, got some hard lessons from RAF about how to operate in an AWACS (airborne warning and control systems) environment. Indian Mirage-2000s, MiG-27s and MiG-21 'Bisons' found the Tornados, aided by real-time information about approaching targets from E3D Sentry AWACS to be more than a handful.

This, emphasised AVM Harper, was necessary if the need arises in the future for joint operations against a common enemy in these "uncertain times". "Today, we don't know where the next conflict will crop up. Airpower has many roles to play, even in counter-terrorism," he said.

IAF Central Command deputy-chief Air Marshal K D Singh, in turn, said: "The biggest learning experience for us were the AWACS. Our fighter controllers flew in them. We have to learn how to exploit them since we will get three of our own next year."
