I assume that you and SherEPunjab will never post in a thread about the US ever again since it is not allowed in your view to post about any other country.
Have a nice day.
LOL You sure picked on the wrong guy! I have always maintained that I will never post anything negative about the US or its policies where they don't concern me or my country of birth - check my posts - all of them. You would have had a point about Indians gloating over very little if only you had been objective about it. Instead, you chose to be partisan and whine about it. I agree, I do have a bit of a hang-up about defending my nation's honor and dignity. I am not ashamed; I could do worse, I suppose *shrugs*
Avionics: The Su-30MKI features an all-weather, digital multi-mode, dual frequency, forward facing Phazotron N-011M radar which has a 350 km search range and a 200 km tracking range. The radar can track and engage 20 targets and engage the 8 most threatening simultaneously. These targets can include cruise/ballistic missiles and even motionless helicopters. The radar is combined with a helmet mounted sight system, which allows the pilot to turn his head in a 90º field of view, lock on to a target and launch the TVC-capable R-73RDM2 missile. The radar's forward hemisphere is ±90º in azimuth and ±55º in elevation. The N-011M ensures a 20 metre resolution detection of large sea targets at a distance up to 400 km, and of small size ones - at a distance of 120 km. Coupled with the air-launched BrahMos ASCM, the Su-30MKI will become an un-challenged platform for anti-ship duties. BrahMos is a result of a joint collaboration between India and Russia and is a variant of the Yakhont ASCM (which has not entered Russian Navy service). The aircraft also has a rearward facing NO12 radar - fitted in the tail sting - which alerts a pilot to the approach of an enemy aircraft on his tail. This radar has a range of 50 km for a 3 square metre RCS target and 100 km for larger ones. It features a surveillance area of ±60º in azimuth and elevation. It enables the pilot to fire the R-73RDM2 missile without turning to get a positive lock on the enemy aircraft. The missile will be launched as usual and will then flip 180º to intercept the enemy aircraft.
The second batch of eight aircraft (Su-30MK-IIs) would be delivered in 1998 and would be fitted with Sextant Avionique's avionics from France, liquid crystal multi-function displays (MFDs), a new flight data recorder, a dual ring laser gyro INS (inertial navigation system) with embedded GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), EW (Electronic Warfare) equipment procured from Israel's IAI (Israeli Aircraft Industries), a new electro-optical targeting system and a RWR (Radar Warning Receiver). The third batch of twelve aircraft (Su-30MK-IIIs) would be delivered in 1999 and would feature canard fore-planes and the last twelve aircraft (Su-30MK-IVs, also known as Su-30MKIs) would be delivered in 2000 and would add the single-axis, thrust-vectoring AL-31FP turbofans. The first 32 aircraft delivered would then be upgraded to the Su-30MKI variant, in a phased manner.

Strange, I never used the word "gloat" at all. If you feel you have to make up what I posted to make your point( whatever that is) than it appears it will be useless to have a discussion with you.
My point was, why is this such a big deal in the news. It was one contrived war game, yet some are making such a big deal out of it. If you feel that is defending India's honor and dignity than you just go right on believing that.
