India will not buy more Sukhoi Su-30s instead of the medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA), Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief Arup Raha told AIN at the Aero India show in Bangalore on February 19. There had been speculation that India would turn to Russia for more combat aircraft, after three years of incompleted MMRCA negotiations with France for the Dassault Rafale. However, “there is no Plan B,” Raha said.
