The loadout on the panles seems to be quite low. On a Su-30 having just rocket pods? were there other photos carrying short range air to air missiles along with the pods? What is the pod on the outermost wing pylon?The biggest problem posed by high altitude like the Tibetan plateau is the weapons carried by the panles is limited! This only seems to confirm that! If they can only use a high capacity plane like Su-30 for rocket bombing only thats a waste or rather a gross under utilization, perhaps forced by the conditions.
