Here is a complete thread on missing "Su30" of IAF. Back In June we highlighted this point nd since then Indians hv provided large no. of illogical explanations to cover tht loss, but still couldn't answer how they lost the 12th Su30 (reported by their own media) if nt hit by PAF
Initially the came up with the argument: as @vayusena record mentions only 11 accidents so there z no 12th loss but it turned out to be a piece of crap as @htnew @ETDefence @ANI wrote explicitly tht " IAF has lost 12 Su30 jets/ 12 jets R ordered as replacement to keep no. at 272
Then Indians argued out of 11 accidents 10 jets crashed while the 1 in 2012 had minor damage nd got repaired. In ths regard @vayusena changed its record after 8 years nd added word "possible repair"infront of 2012 accident. So they stated there z no link btwn ordered nd lost jets
The above stated argument of Indians also got refuted as we hv solid evidence tht 12 IAF had deficiency of 12 Su30's when ths proposal was forwarded in August 2019 due to which 260 out of 272 Su30's were available. Out of 12 jets 11 had crash/extensive damage while one hit by PAF
The list 12 Su30's which were unavailable to IAF in Aug 2019 when proposal for replacement presented z as follows:
2009: 2(1 in April+1 in Nov)
2011: 1
2013: 1
2014: 1
2015: 1
2017: 2 (1 in Mar+ 1 in May)
2018: 1
2019: 3 (1 in feb hit by PAF+ 1 in july due to birdhit+ 1 in Aug
2009: 2(1 in April+1 in Nov)
2011: 1
2013: 1
2014: 1
2015: 1
2017: 2 (1 in Mar+ 1 in May)
2018: 1
2019: 3 (1 in feb hit by PAF+ 1 in july due to birdhit+ 1 in Aug
some of their so called experts like @VinodDX9 floated the non sesne of "one testbed" to cover IAF loss nd complete the count of 12 jets but here again they failed as @hvtiaf stated clearly the testbeds R nt included in 272 jet Tally delivered to IAF out of which 260 R available.
In addition to all ths Indian demanded evidence of Su30 kill which PAF presented. So lets start with pilot claim which holds key in any A2A kill. Here z the account of S/L Hassan Siddique (TJ) who hit IAF Su30 of 221 sqdn. He z nw promoted to W/C rank
Secondly here z Air Commodore Ahmer explaining the detonation of AMRAAM warhead and how the detonated AMRAAM which IAF presented is the solid evidence of Su30 kill. Initially indian media also accepted IAF lost Su30 to F16 but then they were forced by IAf
When reputable platforms like @AFMonthly nd F16 database validated PAF claim of hitting IAF Su30 an ex IAF officer @joe_sameer posted pics of leftover part of detonated AMRAAM without warhead nd seeker as a complete missile. He forgot if AMRAaM misses it won't detonate like this
Last but not the least another solid evidence of Su30 kill is the presence of Mi17 on SAR mission in that area. The Su30 hit set panic among the ranks of IAF which resulted in its Fratricide.
