Brother,
I was part of the team that inherited most of the engineers from bison retrofit, trust me when I say, you need to have this conversation again, d don't be surprised if the the FFB is mated to PRGS21 seeker as well. C-2769 was one of the first two aircrafts sent to russia for the BIS upgrade, it got it's new radar in 98 and fired a RVV-AE to a target drone for it's user trials. The two protos went through almost 180 flight tests.
Below is the image of the Bison holding a RVV AE, as the 51 Sword Arms operate both MF and Bisons, you might want to check with you friend the information again.
Dear sir,
You are more than welcome to entrust the production of aircraft to any other agency or produce it by yourself.
