Just one question...IF this deal materializes then
how SU35 sthands against SU30 MKI n Rafael....???
what will be our advantage ???
The deal is still a big "IF" -- because the only confirmation we have had is the "talks are being held" -- whether this leads to a deal or not ... nobody knows as of now ... there is still a lot to consider ...
However lets suppose a deal was to be confirmed, as far as the "advantage" of SU-35 goes, usually the advantages are not noted in as ... Our aircraft X has this this and that advantage versus the adversary's aircraft Y ...
The advantage is noted/considered in the sense of what capability it brings to our airforce ... and to put it simply we would have the ability to do deadly deep strikes via our aircrafts and give our navy a very potent air arm ... that is more or less the crux of it all ..
Another factor would be ... what configuration of SU-35 we end up getting .. because there would be a high level of customization involved keeping in view that we would be operating Russian, American and Chinese jets all at the same time in an era where the concepts in use is network centric warfare ...
If the configuration we end up getting, has the luxury of integrating Chinese/Pakistani weapons ( + future weapons we acquire from other countries .. eg . A darter etc. ) and the luxury of customizing it where we can have the radar electronics of our choice from say China ... then the balance of power in the air, technologically atleast, would be the first time "balanced" since the "lost decade" ...
