This thread is for all updates and discussions related to the Super Sukhoi upgrade program of the Indian Air Force to upgrade its existing fleet of Su-30 MKI jets.
Keep it clean.
looks more like russians are themselfs reluctant in giving MLU to MKI rather they want india to have Su35 as barnd new Su35 with latest AESA based radar and internal jammers and all those gizons as on MLU'd MKI would cost just over 25%-35% to estimated MLU cost of super sukhoi programme
hence it would be better if we do a indipendent MLU with israeli EL2052 radar and version of F16 engine in our MKI frames and try bringing cost and spares and mantinece headache down
Change the image to original MKI rather than SU 35.Russia, India discuss modernization of Su-30 aircraft

Moscow and New Delhi may work out an agreement on modernizing the Indian Air Force’s Sukhoi Su-30MKI multirole fighters before year-end, The Hindu reported on August 17.
According to the newspaper, the parties made considerable headway with their upgrade talks last month, when a Russian delegation came to New Delhi to discuss the military-technical cooperation.
“The consultations took place last month, and good progress was made. We hope for the deal to be made soon,” The Hindu quoted an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The upgrade will equip the fighter jets with sophisticated avionics, radar and weapons and reduce their radar signature.
According to preliminary estimates, the upgrade of up to 200 Su-30MKIs may cost $8 billion.
The upgrade will be handled by India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
The Su-30MKI multirole fighter was developed to meet the requirements of the Indian Air Force.
Don't post stupid stuff
There are a few painted sukhois in IAF, just Google it.No offense but IAF need to paint those Su-30MKI ... why South Asians suck at Painting their Fighter jets ?
The key items for Super Sukhoi that Russia can provide are the AL-41F engines and a powerful AESA radar. The rest of the upgrades will probably happen with indigenous components - DRDO has already developed high powered jammer and better multi-functional displays exclusively for Su-30MKI.Super sukhois shall get many technologies fro pakfa. Rightly this will be a plane with near fifth generation technologies.
