India to get Sukhoi jets ahead of schedule
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has decided to build Su-30MKIs from kits supplied by Russia in a move to save costs and speed up delivery of the fighters three-years ahead of schedule.
The original plan was to build the aircraft locally and the last of the 140 Su-30MKI was to be delivered in 2017. Building the aircraft indigenously would double the costs.
