The Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has for the first time published an image of a Su-30 MKI fighter with four RudraM-III air-to-surface missiles, two on each wing pylon.
Equipped with advanced guidance systems, the RudraM-III missile will have high maneuverability due to its 18 stabilizers. The munition will be able to accelerate to Mach 5, making it elusive to air defenses.
The missiles will also perform a dual function, being both anti-radar and strike. The heavily armed aircraft will be able to effectively destroy defenses, even those covered by layered air defenses.
The Su-30MKI multirole fighter is produced in India under Russian license by the state corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. It forms the basis of the Indian front-line aviation.
Su-30MKI Characteristics:
Maximum speed at high altitude — 2125 km/h, maximum flight altitude — 17.3 thousand m, thrust-to-weight ratio — 1.0.
Earlier www1.ru reported that modernized anti-aircraft missiles will be included in the ammunition of the latest Korona-E SAM system
