Su-30MKI - Super Sukhoi Upgrade Program.

[Khan vilatey]

IAF hasn't yet decided on the upgrade details. HAL is offering an indigenous upgrade, which is also under consideration. It includes all indigenous avionics and the big deal is the indigenous Uttam AESA radar variant that will be developed for the Su-30MKI. It'll transform the beast.

That and the addition of Astra Mk1, Mk2 and then Mk3.


ISPR statement also said no F-16s were involved and that 2 Indian pilots were captured and in hospital..the "doosra banda" as he was referred to..and the doosra banda promptly vanished after that.

Pakistanis believe ISPR when it suits them and not when it doesn't.

oh abhijit already answered why Indian indigenous weapons are not being used. They are extremely inferior

Really?? LMAO! I love how that Hotel Management graduate has got so many Pakistani fans on this forum.

He's mostly considered a clown in India by people who know anything about defence.

There was a time when we in Pakistan were Not sure about our abilities to take back territory because we thought india would fight as one due to the facde of democracy. Modi solved this problem for us. So yes

Can HAL field good avionics? Does India have good avionics solutions? or will they be imported solutions?

I get an impression that India is focussing / focussed on kinetics - FBW; landing on carrier; opening the full envelope, new and bigger aircraft like MK2; TEDBF; AMCA etc.....but did not focus (yet) on the electronics part.

Although not much is shared, Air Chief's visit means it is an important step along the way

With Wing Commander Manash Kumar Guha, IAF ASTE TP, flying as WSO

CAS visited Bengaluru & interacted with test crew of Aircraft & Systems Testing Establishment & software engineers of Software Development Institute. He reviewed ongoing projects & flew a Su-30MKI to witness the capability enhancement on successful completion of one such project.

This plane is so badly serviced. Compare to J-16 which are clean and shiny.

Poor quality workmanship is a quality of the IAF, top to bottom. Suprised you are suprised...

he needs to lose weight

He's a qualified Test Pilot, recently flew a Mirage-2000 solo, the Tejas before that and now the Su-30MKI. I think he's pretty ok for his age, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to fly these fighters on medical grounds.

Some people monitor weight, others the servicing aspects and few others the amazing fact that a serving Chief of the Air Force is fit enough and capable enough to pilot fighters solo.
Depends on which spectrum one wants to highlight.
Salute to this gentleman for hands on approach and leading by example.

Probably not in daily service. Weight is strictly monitored in terms of physical health.

But if his weight restricted his health in any way he would never be allowed to fly solo or even back seat for that matter. A paunch doesn’t mean he isn’t medically fit otherwise.

He also once made a video on 5th Gen Aircrafts, rest is a history. Now he’s the most memed...

Our aircrafts are more than 20 years old, J-16s are just a few years old.

Yes obviously you’ll say it.
