The Chinese media published an article, which examines the Indian Air Force fighter fleet. On the Sohu portal, they decided to pay special attention to the Su-30MKI fighters, which are in service with the Indian Air Force. The author of the material declares, that India "has problems with Su-30MKI aircraft".
The Chinese author in his article on the pages of the mentioned resource announced, what those losses, which India carried in Su-30MKI aircraft during scheduled training flights, associated with "problematic Russian-made engines". It argues, that "the problem with the engines is old". from the article:
The problem of Russian engines has existed since Soviet times. Over time, the problem of engine power becomes more evident.. Although Russia has made many adjustments, she did not solve this problem completely.
It goes on to say, that India "has repeatedly made claims against Russia". And these claims were allegedly related to "India's dissatisfaction with Russian aircraft engines".
More than strange arguments and statements in the Chinese media, especially when you consider, that a few days ago Indian Defense Minister Rajnat Singh visited Moscow and negotiated new supplies of Russian fighters.
In this regard, the Chinese author's attempt to identify the "problem with the Su-30MKI" looks like nothing more than a desire to find something, which doesn't exist – against the backdrop of the Sino-Indian confrontation in Ladakh. Strengthening the Indian Air Force is not in China's interests. And if you remember, what in India they said about the spotted onboard radar Su-30MKI of the Chinese fighter "navidimki" J-20, then it becomes clear, why exactly against the Su-30MKI Sohu directs its publication.
