Su 30 MKI: How much does it cost??

[desiman]

Why cant we simply add the MKI radar to lca? i mean can we
?
if we can, y don we?

not possible in the current configuration, LCA's nose is too small and the radar on the MKI is meant is specialized for jet like the MKI. The LCA's is much better off finding a radar that suits its needs.

The "Pidda Sa" F404 Engine of Tejas and that too single engine cannot power Bars radar. MKI have to AL31 engines.
Plys The Tejas itself is a "Pidda sa" jet compared to Flanker and it does not have the space to house the huge Bars Radar
