Mikoyan MiG-29 UPG of Indian Air Force has a fifth generation internal Electronic Warfare system.
The D-29 system developed by DRDO is an internal EW system by DRDO has it's antennas mounted at the leading edge of wingroot on both sides and one antenna pops out from the lower portion of starboard side tail fin.
The jammers are defensive in nature and are used to jam SAMs or AAMs fired at MiG-29. The jammers work on cross eye jamming principle. Cross-eye jamming is an electronic attack technique that induces an angular error in the radar by artificially creating a false target and deceiving the radar into detecting and tracking it. Presently, there is no effective anti-jamming method to counteract cross-eye jamming.
D-29 is an integrated EW system for Radar warning and jamming that encompasses RWR, ECM, ESM functions and utilizes state-of-the-art active phased arrays for selectively jamming the multiple threat radars. The D-29 system serves primarily as a self-protection jammer that will boost survivability, enhance situation awareness and increase mission effectiveness.
D-29 system detects and gives the information about the position of the RF sources illuminating the aircraft and applies the appropriate jamming technique. The system mainly consists of Unified Receiver Exciter Processor (UREP modified to suit the requirements of D-29), Solid State Transmit / Receive Unit (SSTRU) with Active Array Unit (AAU) and a liquid cooling system.
this system was developed by DRDO DARE-BEL.

look like very old technology, like 3-4 generations behind top notch or Chinese, Russians or Western tech

what special of D-29 is? how good is that compared to Chinese, Russian, Americans or even Pakistan? Everybody could design and make it, what important is .... how good?

I agree with you, there is no point for India to have ICBM and even IRBM without advanced nuke technology that can be made very small enough to fit into it. And it is very hard (i.e W-88 class) and India is a long long way to achieve that technology, even the UK hasn't managed to do that. Only the US, Russia, France and China able to do that.
Heyyy, even India hasn't managed to make H-bomb, let alone to miniaturise the nuke warhead. Without H-Bomb, the warhead would be very big to achieve even 30KT
IAF has inducted them into mig 29 upgrade..which means they are good.
Attacks on airbases in the 21st century occur when a swarm of standoff missiles strike the hangars and support facilities themselves. They can also target any fighter out in the open using autonomous capabilities. You can't repair that damage "the same day."
The last thing the IAF shot down, . Keep that in mind when comparing "competencies."
lol you have no idea what you are talking about...modern HAS can withstand direct hit even from 2000 pound bomb. You need to completely surprise and overwhelm your enemy to cause significant damage but even that is impossible nowdays.
Where is dusra Banda by the way
Considering how easily India was "surprised and overwhelmed" recently, on the day it lost a Mig and shot down its own chopper in a panic, I doubt that would be a problem.
Most of the infrastructure is not bomb proof, including many of the hangars. The idea that you can somehow bombproof your entire airbase is a fantasy. Cruise missile attacks strike at the points of critical weakness, and there is nothing the IAF has to counter that. The inherent advantage of low flying cruise missiles is that you have very little (if any) warning. And you're talking about countering China, which has hypersonic missiles, which are technically impossible to counter with any current system.

Abhinandan was more than enough, thanks.
surprise lol!...you mean loosing mig-21 over you own territory while being aggressive ha ha!...7 mighty AMRAAM's were fired that day. only one managed to hit and that to a mig 21 who was chasing your F 16 over your own territory... while a single sukhoi manga to dodge 5.. ever wonder why?...India openly bombed a nuclear nation.. no country has ever done this in history... talk about balls something Pakistan seriously lack...no wonder you military couldn't do s**t after we removed article 370.
Low flying cruise missiles are a threat no doubt but the level of damage they can cause is overblown...as I said most modern HAS are well protected and level of surveillance nowdays make it difficult if not impossible for a surprise attack.... India is building a layered anti-access/area denial zones for whole country like Russia and China. Which will include Indian Air defence system like Akash, Akash NG , QRSAM , MRSAM( barak-8 ), XRSAM, S-400...India own BMD system etc.
as for hypersonic weapons even Maneuvering ones can be countered contrary to myth.
so? even India has hypersonic missiles including Maneuvering ones what's the point?.
Gafoor and ISPR disagree
