NEW DELHI: Much like the Americans, the British too are keen to evaluate the most potent fighter in the IAF fleet, the Sukhoi-30MKI "air-dominance" jets.

And what better way to do this than to take a high-voltage spin in the twin-seater Sukhoi-30MKI itself while it tears through the skies. Visiting Royal Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Glenn Torpy, no mean pilot himself with some 4,300 hours of fast-jet flying, is ready for the challenge.

"It will be a great opportunity since the Sukhoi-30MKI is one of the most modern fighters in the world,"said Torpy, talking exclusively to TOI on Saturday.
