Jai Shankar: Before operation Sindoor, I told Paki not to intervene our operation, but they don't listen to me! They're not moral!
India doesn't produce anything AESA yet as far as I'm aware. Only exhibition pieces.Furthermore, Russian radar, avionics, networking, and electronics capabilities are non-competetive (Russia's ability to manufacture AESA radar *may* actually be behind that of India), and Europeans are also starting to fall behind in these areas. The only project of value I see for the Indians would be Su-57 with full transfer of technology and eventual 100% domestic production.
Irbis reportedly calculates very well through eurocanard/anerican jamming over Syria.Yes, that is true. However, since the PLAAF operates a small batch of Su-35, the PLAAF is very familiar with the radar. Initially the PLAAF exercised frequently with the Su-35s, but concluded that its radar was prone to jamming by the J-10C/J-16 and found the Su-35 ineffective at operating in the heavily contested EM environment that PLAAF fighters were expected to operate in.

ImpossibleIndian AWACs were not in the theater.

Impossible
Don’t fall for more Indian cope.
It’s always best to judge actions rather than words, especially in India’s case.
If it was as how they claim, that they went in thinking the PAF wouldn’t get involved and that this was basically a sucker punch by Pakistan, then why did the IAF go totally AWOL for the rest of the fight?
If you got sucker punched by someone, the natural reaction would be to hit them back with all your might.
For the IAF, loosing 5-6 fighters, even 3 Rafales, is a small and almost inconsequential number from a combat effectiveness point of view. They still had plenty of planes, and far more Rafales that they could have hit the PAF back with.
If the PAF only managed to achieve its kills due to attacking the IAF unprepared, why didn’t the IAF come back prepared and in overwhelming numbers to avenge the slight?
The fact that the entire IAF quit the field and dared not to come back for round 2 tells you loud and clear what really happened and how the IAF rated their own chances against the PAF.
The rest is just propaganda jamming and chaff being thrown out by Indians to try and distract from how badly they were shown up. Ironically, if the IAF could spam and jam countermeasures half so well, their planes might never have been shot down.
Either Chinese EW is massively ahead of the rest of the world, or one of rumors appears to be wrong.
Does the rest of the world possess working Su-35 radars to study or functional Su-35s to exercise against?Either Chinese EW is massively ahead of the rest of the world, or one of rumors appears to be wrong.
Especially in case of the J-10c, which without self defense pod doesn't carry much in terms EW in the first place, as even ARMs require a yet another, separate pod.
No volume; there's a solid reason behind the well known "D" prototype.
