ALAIKUNDA AIR STATION, India (AFPN) -- For the first time, U.S. pilots faced the Indian Air Force's most advanced, and newest, fighter -- the Su-30 MKI -- during an exercise Cope India 06 mission here.

F-16 Fighting Falcon pilots Capt. Martin Mentch and 1st Lt. Robert “Pipes†Stimpson were the first to mix it up with the Su-30s Nov. 9.

About 250 U.S. Airmen from throughout the Pacific region are participating in the exercise, which Colonel Hanlon said is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The following is a video of a test-flight of the LCA, which has probably been created by Pakistanis. Its audio is jovial, but the video of the LCA is very informative:

The IN looks very impressive. And the Nag is crazy! Hitting it at the top!

Just to give more info, I'm pretty sure that the inboard weapons station is carrying twin Mistral IR AAMs similar in capability to the Stinger family, and designed/made by France.

Thank you for that information planeman, as I did not know about that weapon. However at an Indian forum, a member mentioned that it was the Lahat missile system from Israel.

Do you have any videos of the Indian Navy doing a military drill?

It's an easy mistake to make but in this case they be wrong. :coffee:

The LAHAT looks different. At any rate this other picture of the same launcher from another angle confirms my ID. It's a twin Mistral launcher

The following video demonstrates the hovering of the Harrier and take-off of the Sea-king aircraft over the aircraft-carrier Vikrant of the IN. The audio features a patriotic song.
The quality of the video is slightly poor.

Well, the following report about the Dhruv's exhibition at the Farnborough 2006 mentions that the Dhruv shall be fitted with 8 LAHAT missile systems :

"The Army version has eight LAHAT air-to-ground laser homing missiles as well as a radar warning receiver and decoy launcher and Israeli avionics. A GIAT M621 2 mm gun turret can be fitted in place of the H-MOSP sensor pod."
