Most if not all should of the Su-30s should fly each day. There is expected to be more sorties flown next week than this week.

Stupid question perhaps, but are they all Su30MKI-3 models? And is there an external difference between the MKI and the -3?
Last one: does SB138 also carry a space between SB and the numbers in her serial? I am positive about the other three SB 065, SB 167 & SB 309.
