The air force had initially planned to modify 40 Su-30 fighters to carry the missile, but today the entire Su-30 fleet has been modified to carry the BrahMos, the officials said.
“As the situation unfolded along the Northern borders (where India and China have been locked in a border row) three years ago, we realised that the potent weapon can be used very effectively for land attack. Today we have BrahMos modified aircraft (Su-30s) in all squadrons across the IAF,” the IAF chief said.
He described the missile as one of the air force’s most lethal air combat assets.
Paijan Chong bros are claiming our victory Paijan.... Noooo!

Just so you know over 80 su-30s can carry brahmos now. Almost every squadron now has brahmos carrying modified su30 among its ranks.
Not exaggerating.

We have BrahMos modified aircraft in almost all squadrons of the IAF: Air Chief Marshal
The combination of BrahMos on the Sukhoi Su-30 has really given us tremendous capability that has enhanced our firepower, Indian Air Force (IAF) Air Chief Marshal (ACM) V. R. Chaudhari saidwww.thehindu.com
Can F35 carry a Brahmos?
No offense but the missile was found intact so either it was a soft kill or the Chinese manufacturing quality was not good enough.What aircraft will India buy? Rafale will not be bought anymore. Typhoon? Su-57? F35? Actually, I think KF21 is a good choice.

Do you think a fighter jet will only fire one missile at a target? When the target is shot down by another missile, it will naturally continue to fly until it runs out of energy and crashes.No offense but the missile was found intact so either it was a soft kill or the Chinese manufacturing quality was not good enough.

Just saying that plane had recovered in case of complete engine fall in the past. That in no way is statement about Rafale whether loss or not as people have been discussing endlessly instead waiting for official declaration once operation closure is declared.Yeah that M88 engine just fell out all by its lonesome self it just got tired of being part of the aircraft.
Nope. Binkov got it all wrong. The alleged MKI wreckage is of a UAV. Mig-29 wreckage looks like that of JF-17/Mirage-V.
My suggestions are the text in white. Ramban, J&K has a Mig 29UPG and a Mirage V crash site.Nope. Binkov got it all wrong. The alleged MKI wreckage is of a UAV. Mig-29 wreckage looks like that of JF-17/Mirage-V.
Only doubt is about Rafale(M-88 wreckage) and maybe M-2000 with MICA/Drop Tank wreckage found. Anyways, we'll get our answers when the time comes.
No mig 29's were lost. It's either mirage 2000 or mirage 3/5Nope. Binkov got it all wrong. The alleged MKI wreckage is of a UAV. Mig-29 wreckage looks like that of JF-17/Mirage-V.

We need to either use the clause and another 36 rafales to atleast allow us integration of the rafales. We can order the rafale f4.1. We need to actively integrate the astra mk2 as fast as we can. We need a pl-17 tier missile. Gandiva is not good enough.Pls understand that we did not loose any Rafale till date but they did get attacked in multiple ways as they had these short range Hammers with them and had to enter Pakistan airspace which was not needed for anyother strike element including Jags and M2K. France must give us source codes to increase the choice of weapons on Rafale. Libya cant be used a a canvas for 2025 and beyond.
