Missile load on Su-30SM

This photo is quite impressive, as it shows a Russian Su-30SM with 4 R-73, 2 R-77 and 2 Kh-31. A few years ago this setup could not have been possible because Russia could not afford advanced weaponry. Note red colours on R-77 missile, which led to some comments. In Russia inert missiles are painted white with 3 black rings. The red colour was used on early R-77 series. There is a well known photo from the 90s of a MiG-29M with them.
