“We are looking at modernising our Su-30s with the help of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) as it has a lot of expertise in the field,” Colonel Hovhannes Vardanyan, who heads Armenia’s Air Force Department, told HT on the sidelines of multilateral Tarang Shakti 2024 air combat drills that concluded at the Jodhpur airbase on September 13.

HAL has built the Russian-origin fighters for the Indian Air Force under licence at its aircraft manufacturing division in Nashik.
