Warranty Compromise Agreed on India Rafale Contract

[Sri]

referring to this news ..
Russia and India to work on 5th-gen upgrade to Su-35 fighter｜Politics｜News｜WantChinaTimes.com

we already have a deal <FGFA >for fifth gen fighter programme.
Super Sukhoi is upgrading the SU30 MKI fighter to capabilities of fifth gen fighter.
Rafele is for MMRCA....

Then why India is going to develop a fifth-generation upgrade of the Su-35 Super Flanker ?

Thanks
Well The news itself states it could be Su30MKI ==>SU35S
"The Defense News report did not specify the details of the differences between the Su-35 and the Su-35S. However, a Chinese military expert cited by the Global Times stated that the fifth-generation fighter will likely be based on the Su-30MKI that Russia and India developed together and will be equipped with advanced fifth-generation fighter avionics purchased by India, including active electronically scanned array radar, an infrared sensor for longer range targets and a custom tactical data link suited to the needs of the Indian Air Force, along with anti-electrical interference equipment. The source also stated that the fighter likely has limited stealth capabilities, including metal plating on the hood of the cabin and stealth materials coating the air inlets. Stealth capabilities hinge mostly on the exterior design of a fighter, however, he said. The area of the fifth generation F-22 that reflects radar is just 1 square meter and Russian aircraft maker Sukhoi has stated that the area of Su-30 series fighters that reflects radar is around 20 sq m."

So My understanding is Super SU30MKI is SU35S. Otherwise it doesnt makes sense.
