They (FTTC/3rd Reg) should have a new serial range as well.

another picture emerged from these Su-30's. This green/sand camouflaged one seems to be the 3rd one in the first picture in this topic.

Some say its to simulate the camo on the newer Vietnamese Su-30MK2Vs. Yes or no? Comparison here http://thebaseleg.blogspot.com.au/2012/ ... amese.html

I always like to see how the PLAAF seems to dare to fire unguided rockets so close to civilian structures (the 2nd pic)
