Indian and Russian defense delegations discussed joint defense projects and defense issues of mutual interest, in particular, the Sukhoi/HAL Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) and the upgrade of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter, the sources at the Indian Defense Ministry sources told Sputnik.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, the India-Russia intergovernmental commission on military and technical cooperation held a meeting in New Delhi, bringing together the delegations headed by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his Indian counterpart Manohar Parrikar.

India Seeks Foreign Defense Firm to Build Domestic Single-Engine Fighters "We discussed… the FGFA project and [upgrade] of SU-31 MKI which is presently India's priority," the sources said on Wednesday.

The Russian-Indian FGFA has stealth capabilities and is based on the Russian T-50 prototype jet. The FGFA project came about following the signing of a Russian-Indian cooperation agreement on October 18, 2007.

KRET's ZHUK-AME FGA 50 AESA Radar For MiG-35, Su-35, SU-30MKI

Russian defence electronics maker, Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET) showed its Zhuk-AME FGA 50 active phased array (AESA) multi-function compatabiel with the MIG and Sukhoi family of aircraft, at the Air Show China today.

The new radar can detect targets beyond the line of sight, track up to 30 of them and destroy up to 6 targets in the air and 4 on the ground.

Zhuk-AME FGA 50 is a multifunctional, multimode AESA radar (LTCC) that is designed for detection, acquisition, tracking and classification of targets on land, air and water. It can provide information support at low altitudes, navigation, as well as guidance for sophisticated air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons.

“This modernized Zhuk radar station has already received its passport for exporting. The system beats competitors in many tactical and technical aspects and was designed for the new generation of aircraft including the MIG-35 fighter”, said Deputy CEO of KRET Igor Nasenkov in a statement.

Zhuk-AME can function in various modes and can simultaneously detect and track targets on land, air and water and provide missile guidance for these targets.

AESA allows to increase the detection range for Zhuk-AME up to 160 km and to simultaneously operate in "air-air" and "air-land" modes, to recognize and classify group and single objects, to simultaneously attack multiple targets with high-precision means of destruction, as well as to transmit tactical data to other aircraft and to carry out electronic countermeasures.

The Zhuk-AME FGA 50 – multifunctional multimode AESA radar (LTCC), providing simultaneous tracking of multiple targets due to electronic beam position control.

The radar is designed for detection, acquisition, tracking and classification of targets on land, air, and water. FGA 50 can provide information support of low-altitude flight, navigation, guidance for sophisticated air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons. It has advantages in technical characteristics over its competitors, while being smaller and lighter.

The possible aircraft which could be equipped with Zhuk-AME with AESA could be the MiG-35, the Su-30SM, Su-35 and the Su-30MKI.

The AESA radar will most likely be offered as part of the Su-30MKI upgrade package for the Indian Air Force
 
wonder if supercrusing is a possibility with these new upgraded engines ?
 
what if they put couple of F16 engines on MKI with a variant of F16 AESA radar and avionics of MKI ... just asking a curious question .... is that even possible ?

With the 117S supercrusing is possible already if the engines are upgraded in the lines of the 117S maybe supercrusing is a possibility. F16 engines as powerful as they are but are not designed to supercruse, AESA is already being worked on for the 30MKI but more likely that they will upgrade the pre-existing radar somehow.

looks more like russians are themselfs reluctant in giving MLU to MKI rather they want india to have Su35 as barnd new Su35 with latest AESA based radar and internal jammers and all those gizons as on MLU'd MKI would cost just over 25%-35% to estimated MLU cost of super sukhoi programme

hence it would be better if we do a indipendent MLU with israeli EL2052 radar and version of F16 engine in our MKI frames and try bringing cost and spares and mantinece headache down

F 16 engines shall be under power.
FOr AESA of F16, you will requre to put additional modules to exploite the bigger area offered by nosecone of sukhoi. If Additional modules are put, it will work much better than MKI Radar. EW will work fine.

Yup,only after you mixed vodka with beer for night. Then it will be realised in your dream.
 
su30mki coupled with brahmos will be our one of the most important strategic weapon system.this will be the first time iaf will get true deep penetration capability.

question-is there plane of integrating brahmos with naval mig29?
Plane or plan ?
