it would be Very interesting SU-30 MKI is our Best Figther ................. Last year USA just sent 4 F-15 without any AWACS......... this year the excersise got really serious with 12 F-16 and E-3 Sentry AWACS ........... so India had to feild Somethign Serious apart form Mirage 2000, the Sukhoi 30K, MiG 21 Bison and MiG 27 which will also take part in the excersise ........... i can see Videio on Indian News Channels showing the Excersises today
The Su 30 MKI is a customized Su 27 PU built according to Indian specifications.
