First, read the parameters of that "infamous" exercise where the F-15s got wiped out. No AWACs, no BVR launches, and no jamming. What did they think would happen? If it was a shooting war there's a good chance the SU-30s don't even get off the ground as the airfields are going to get Tomahawked.

If you were a betting man, would you take 10 Su-30s with the Russian/Indian/Chinese electronic support or 4 F-22s with AWACs/JSTARs/F-18 Growlers? My money would be on most of the 10 SU-30s being shot down with no casualties to the F-22s.

The Indians have Israeli and French avionics.Their AWACS is the Israeli Phalcon system mounted on the IL-78/Beriev A-50.
