[quote]A pair of legendary Indian Air Force fighters taking part in a military exercise in the UK this summer will make a small diversion on their way back to the sub-continent in order to appear at the Royal International Air Tattoo

Two Sukhoi Su-30MKIs Flankers, supported by an IL-78, will make a rare public appearance in the West when they attend the Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on July 14-15 to mark the Indian Air Force
