Sukhoi-30MKI starts getting New Secured Radio and Radio altimeter
Published September 15, 2020 |

State-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has undertaken integration of the Software Defined Radios (SDR) supplied by Israeli Rafael company successfully. Su-30MKI also now features an indigenous ANS-1100A VOR/ILS System that helps aircraft navigate by using fixed ground-based beacons when coming for landing and an Upgraded Radio Altimeter which aids Pilot to carry out low level or night flight below 2500 feet.
Israeli Rafael company had won a contract for 400 Software Defined Radios (SDR) from Indian Air Force (IAF) last year to upgrade its Entire fleet of Sukhoi-30MKI. Mirage-2000 and LCA-Tejas fleet. BNET-AR/Global-Link Airborne software-defined Radio will be integrated into most of the fighter jets so that the Pilots can communicate with each other without been eavesdropped by the rival pilots in the vicinity.

BNET-AR/Global-Link is replacing HAL developed Integrated Communication suite INCOM 1210A which was considered a highly problematic and unsecured channel. Su-30MKI will also get upgraded RAM-1701AS radio altimeter which is also integrated with the newly inducted Dassault Rafale fighter jets.

HAL has also confirmed that Garuthmaa smart glide-bombs with 100km range manufactured by the Research Centre Imarat-DRDO-Hyderabad have successfully passed the Integration trials on Su-30MKI and now have been cleared for operations for the fleet. Indigenous developed 500-kg Garuthmaa guided bomb has a range of 100km and is developed to be similar to SPICE (Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective), an Israel made bomb that was used by the Indian Air Force to hit terror camps in Pakistan’s Balakot on February 26.

Shame on DRDO and HAL. They even don't have SFDR.. really sad state because of babu giri in OFBs and DRDO.

Now after this report just read previous Indian Claims of no EW interference against their Defence package and Su-30s and Mirage were call back ONLY because they were outnumbered by PAF striking package on 27-Feb, further there were claims of recording of communication b/w PAF F-16 pilots which was claimed as additional proof confirming the downing of F-16 by MiG-21 flown by Abhinandan.

Why was it "considered problematic"? Was it first noticed to be "problematic" in Feb 2019?

 

[Khanate]

Took the loss of an Su-30MKI for IAF to finally demand secure radios. Such incompetence.

 

[batmannow]

But still Russia the top Chinese friend still can track all indian airforce SU30s at anytime, while also listening its communications with some other resources like its data links

1st update your knowledge on communications device which installed in Su30mki. Just for your information, it's not a russian.

This has been discussed in detail and the Su-30MKI kill was confirmed by three different radars.

Apart from this, at least Three different radars confirmed the kill, Shooter F-16s own APG-66, Erieye AWACS and GCI as well as at least one other member who was part of the package. (Source)

This exploded AMRAAM that IAF was parading is evidence of Su-30MKI kill.
