The IAF is in the process of inducting additional Su-30MKI aircraft manufactured underlicence by HAL

Prototype is noting to do with the deal... the signing of the deal is for the no of requirements... PKAFA is a joint coloration of Russia and India, as already agreed we should get a prototype of fgfa(IAF customized) but the russkies was delaying... remember guys from our side was complaining that Russians were not cooperating and not letting us to share the tech as it was agreed. also in between IAF had a mixed feeling whether to go with single seat or double, then with the cost over running the no were reduced and so...

U need to do more research.

Augmenting operational strength: IAF in the process of inducting more aircraft

 

[migflug]

Instead of buying more su30 we should buy more pak fa and customize it and in parallel develop FGFA

What about the Super Sukhois?

thats an MID LIFE UPGRADE programme which will start once orignal 272 numbers are achived

And they must have 117 Engine.

And they must have 117 Engine.

what makes you think they wont

 

[Ankit Kumar 001]

Perfect solution would be to duplicate the production line so that we get 28-30 fighters per year and around 300 fighters are inducted by 2021.

What you're talking about the releasing of fund for the research from ou side??

No,depends on the diameter and fit too.We simply don't know if pakfa engine will fit.
So its all speculation.

If we get 117s of su-35,it will be more than enough.

Too many heavy twin engines. They are not maintenance friendly. No country even usa has such large % of twins in their inventory

Su 27 and its variants are the low cost equivalent for US made f15 egle/ strike eagle,and USAF is having more than 400 such costly birds.

 

[migflug]

Can someone give official source of engine change in super sukhoi (to 117s)or whatever.
But not of pks (trishul)

No,depends on the diameter and fit too.We simply don't know if pakfa engine will fit.

117 is 117s with fadec. Pak fa engine will be izdeliye 30. 117 is for prototypes only. Hence 117 can fit on su39 though it has 3% larger diameter

 

[he-man]

117 is 117s with fadec

No,its not.
117S already has fadec.

su39

Whats su-39??

 

[migflug]

No,its not.
117S already has fadec.


Whats su-39??

Its su 30

No,its not.
117S already has fadec.


Whats su-39??

I havent read anywhere 117s having fadec . Why would anyone develop new engine for just 5kn addition

 

[he-man]

Its su 30

There is no official size description of 117 anywhere.
117 is supposedly more lighter and efficient in fuel consumption but i may be wrong as no official info is available.

I havent read anywhere 117s having fadec

Then read this.3 rd point.
