The 7 has a larger warhead, and won't go after a friendly if it loses track on a bandit. They're perfect for use if you have friendly a/c in your front 140 degrees or so(my opinion)
but I doubt any frontline US unit even stocks Aim7s today. Except for maybe live fire training.

the article didnt say what is the version of VVS'Su-30 that was deployed,only said "new Su-30" so my guess is SM model
i want Ka-52,remember some post in ED forum that said ED is doing a Ka-52 and Su-35 simulator for VVS but it's just a military only-sim,not a commercial product..so sad...
