I wont wonder if Russians reduce rcs and add jammers and make stealthy to make Su30mki a 5th gen fighter.

Isn't an AESA radar a part of the "Super" SU-30MKI UPG anyway?

Does the MKI engine have enough power the' light ' up the AESA radar? considering its weight and armament post Upgrade.

Does anyone know whether the Super 30MKI is going to come with Supercruise.

Hard to say at the moment, because it is not clear if the MKI will get more thrust and if so, which engine. Also important will be the emptyweight, that is much higher compared to the Su 35BM that proved SC with the S117 engine.

spark provided a article which shows super 30 up gradation offers new engine with 6000 hours life and 15000 kg thrust.

From the trishul blog I know, but that is neither confirmed, nor based on any available specs. The latest Russian engine is the S117 that the Su 35BM and the T50 prototype uses and not even they have such specs. We have to wait and see.
