Indian Jags and more

Post by Maveric »

Some IAF hardware from a recent trip to India, sorry about the quality but walking around airbases with a long lens is still a no no hence shot discretely

Any idea what jet 8,9 and 10 are they look like SU-22 but I wasn't aware the IAF had them,

Yup, that's a MiG-27, and from the looks of it they are on their way out, so that's a great catch! :)

Thanks for looking and yes it definitely does appear like a Mig 27 I again thought they had been retired but I guess I'm wrong they were very loud

Wow! Shame they have to be taken so discreetly, because was a feast they are! So much goodness.
