They Still Don't Get It...

 ... It is a hint. 

BTW, what kind of open mine is in the video, wink, wink? Ah yes, standard complains about Russian "unprofessionalism". Well, truth is if there is one (actually three) aircraft in which you can do this...

That would be SU-35 (also SU-30SM and SU-57). Somebody should invite Tom Cruise to this:

And then ask him what is his opinion on R-37, NetCentric capabilities of SU-35, SU-30SM and SU-57, and, in general, how is it to interact with own (friendly) AD complexes and AWACS. I am sure he will want to make another movie Top Gun: Chihuahua.

Top Gun? OK.

Remember this? Famous MiG-28 "Scene", LOL.


OK, here is the deal with SU-30 SM in Syria. I want to say immediately, however, if I would have been regiment's CO I would go bananas and would smack the pilot of SU-30 SM (and a bunch of the dudes in Il-76) with NSS (Non-adequacy to Service Status--Nesootvetstvie Sluzhebnomu Sostoyaniyu) and would ground him for a while for reckless endangerment and violation of about 3 billion protocols and manuals. Then, after the proceedings, in private, I would pat him on the back and say that he is one crazy SOB and that he has to control his instincts. But here it is--"inspection" of the cargo bay of Il-76 for a complete delivery of a load. Enjoy. That is a RUAF version of Crazy Ivan, or maybe of... "MiG-28 moment", LOL.
