Ram coating has been done in India for the past one decade.
Would you care to point out the reports to that effect, which imply RCS reduction is done way back 4 years!!!
The russians are not providing SU-30 agreed upon and they are providing RCS reduction technique... which by all accounts recent development!!!!
Please either you say India has developed or developing.......if you do not know DON'T BS here .
See you first started with Russian exported the technique now India going it alone!!! What kind of credibility you and your DODO spreading for the last 30 years.
P.S: Next time if you do have to say anything technical please think over before posting.
I have heard they reduced MKI to 3 m2. while they made it better on jaguars and other mirage's.
Sukhoi Flanker aircraft benefit from low-observable modifications
More than 100 aircraft in the Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flanker family have been equipped with a set of low-observable (LO) modifications that reduce head-on radar detection range by 50 per cent, according to Dr Vladimir Kisel of the Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electromagnetics (ITAE) at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
Speaking at the IQPC Defence conference on Stealth in 2004, Dr Kisel said that he was unable to say which air forces had received the LO modifications, which were carried out over the past 10 years. However, the Sukhoi has generated most of its revenues in that time through sales of the Su-27 series to India and China, raising the possibility that some of the Indian Air Force aircraft that performed unexpectedly well against US Air Force F-15Cs in last year's Cope India exercise may have been LO-modified.
The suite of LO modifications includes radar absorbent material (RAM) sprayed on to the inlet duct walls; RAM applied to the compressor face of the AL-31 engine; and the installation of a frequency-selective-surface (FSS) screen inside the radome, in front of the radar dish. (Similar modifications have been applied to the F-16 under the Have Glass and Have Glass II programmes.)
ITAE and Sukhoi make extensive use of real-world hardware in LO testing. Dr Kisel's presentation showed outdoor radar cross-section (RCS) ranges using a modified aircraft (not an RCS model) and a line-up of operational air-defence radars rather than a specialised instrumentation radar. Signatures from the inlet ducts were measured with the engine running, to model the effects of rotating engine stages.
This is from 2004 itself.
That the MKIs in particular have received LO modifications has been stated by an European defence analyst writing for the Journal of Electronic Defense in 2005.
Dio you know what is the RCS of flankers? and reducing it by 50% makes how much RCS?
Do you also give some credibility to word "may be".

In post-2010 PLAAF, J-10A/B will be used as air superiority fighter, whereas J-11B/Su-30MKs will be multirole fighters mainly for ground attack, now you tell me J-10 is a low-end companion for Su-30MKs? Give me a break!
J-10>>>>>Su-30MKI, and JF-17>=Su-30MKI, regarding air superiority.
God, tell me how blind people could be to see the truth and how reluctant they could be to accept it...Please be serious man! The Su-30 series is considered to be among the best in the world, whereas the J-10 is considered a capable fighter in the league of an f-16. The MKI is the best of the Su-30 series so to compare MKI vs J-10 is not even doing it justice.
