Two Su-30MKI fighters of the Indian Air Force defended critical facilities during a raid by Pakistani F-16s armed with AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. The incident occurred on February 27, 2019, according to Air Marshal Amar Preet Singh.

Singh explained that the Pakistani Air Force used American-made fighters. In response, Indian pilots scrambled two Russian-made aircraft to intercept the enemy.

Pakistani pilots fired AIM-120C AMRAAM missiles (air-to-air guided missiles with a range of over 100 km) at the Su-30MKI.

However, the Su-30MKI, known for their super-maneuverability and advanced electronic warfare systems, evaded the approaching missiles. The "Sukhoi" did their job, they withstood.

Singh emphasized that the AIM-120C AMRAAM did not hit their targets. Their debris was later found on Indian territory.
