Report: Malaysia may seek India's help to train pilots to fly Russian fighter jets
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/25/asia/AS-GEN-Malaysia-India-Russian-Jets.php
Quotes:
Malaysia might send pilots to India for training on how to fly sophisticated Russian-made fighter jets that Malaysia has purchased, a news report said Friday.
The Royal Malaysian Air Force wants to train 72 officers as pilots and weapons system personnel to handle 18 Sukhoi-20MKM jets that are being handed over to Malaysia in stages, Col. Syed Salim Syed Abu Bakar told Malaysian reporters in the Siberian city of Irkutsk.
Most of them will be trained in Malaysia, but some might be sent to India, which has agreed in principle to provide training for Malaysian officers on the use of multi-role combat aircraft, Syed Salim was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency. |

No the IAF did not operate any Fitter series.
The Fitter is the code name for the Su17/20/22 series.

Thanks mel. No. IAF did not operate any fitters. The last Su they operated before Su-30 was Su-7.
