Yeah i remember this -- It was written by i think the super duper 'Brochure' sengupta....sorry but that guy is just no reliable. lets wait for Shiv A or Anatha Krishnan to report this.
Hard to believe that this can be done -- they would end making a new plane altogether.
Not sure who wrote it, the link doesn't work anymore, but as I said, I don't think it's reliable either.
Hi Sancho,
Thanks for pointing me to the article.
So does the upgrade include a AESA radar? As the power required for Irbis E ( su35bm radar) is too high and MKI's current engines cannot deliver that power.
Thanks in Advance.
Sri.
The upgrade will include a radar upgrade too and it was often reported that the Bars will be modified to an AESA version. Not sure if the engines will be upgraded too, or if they would be even replaced by S117 engines, that will be used in Su 35BM and the Pak Fa prototypes, but we can't rule it out.
