In July-August 2008 an Indian air force contingent with eight Sukhoi Su-30MKI combat aircraft participated in the international RED FLAG `08 advanced aerial combat training exercise in Nevada, USA, along with fighters from U.S. and French Air Force. It was the first time that the Russian-made Su-30MKI participated in multinational manoeuvres involving US and other NATO fighters.The exercise results are widely discussed in the world aerospace media.
