they are not
1)su-35 has a better integrated system like f-22 and rafale
2)Uses higher thrust engines(142 kn vs 123 kn)
3)better avionics................irbis-e vs bars-m
i am comparing su-30 with su-35
nothing called su-30 mki exists and no one knows the specs
1)The post talks about so called aesa for super sukhoi!!
We haven't seen even fully developed pakfa aesa which is in testing for past 2 years and u are betting on an aesa whose prototype hasen't yet been made??
2)It talks of nothing about airframe
3)The best russian engine after pakfa engine is item 117s of su-35 and it has service life of 4000 hours instead of 6000 hrs as article says..................
and russians are not going to develop a new engine for super sukhoi
NPO "SATURN" > 117S
pls check the link
4)The rest maybe true................cannot comment yet
to quote sengupta
"Also to be noted is that the IAF has gone for the distributed AESA-array configuration (for the mini-AEW & C role) primarily as a back-up capability just in case the DRDO/CABS is unable to deliver the indigenous AEW & CS on time. In addition, have an embedded mini-AEW & C capability within a strike package oriented towards offensive air campaigns has some unique advantages aimed at neutralising the force-multiplier capabilities offered by hostile AEW & C platforms. This is an entirely standalone issue that I will dwell upon in future."
This is utter bullshit as drdo awacs are already in testing as we speak with an s-band aesa
lastly this article is dated
