Well yes the fact that SFC has opted for 40 Aircraft looks like they are keen to establish a more visible part of deterrence that can be gradually escalated in view of people that can see them , expect calls from Washington we see you are refueling the Bomber from your base time to deescalate.

The Qty 40 for SFC are not Su-30MKI but much more heavier and long range dual crew (side by side seating) aircraft SU-34. It apparently also has a small kitchenett.



Looks like R.Chi-dumbrum's (emphasis added) bums are only of dumb variety and that aircraft's are required to deliver those big-ass high yield dumb bums to convincingly persuade those who are not persuaded by few 20-50 kt fatakadas on Indian missiles.
