Wait India is actually getting more Su-30MKI? Are they nuts? That's like buying a Pentium running PC in 2022.

Or are they getting French/Israeli/Russian contractors to upgrade and modernise them. Surely not the same old models.

Dude, it's India, importing expensive military equipment with funds that should be directed toward feeding their starving populace is an election winning strategy.

What's your problem? India gets obsolete jets, Russia gets paid, literally a win-win situation for China :D .

Edit: actually win for India too! Win-Win-Win for every one! Jai Hind!

EW Capabilities of PLAAF. South Asia is witnessing quite a lot of EW activity. Both India and China have Integrated Air Defence Systems with various types of Radars, sensors, SAMs and AWACS. China is known to have dedicated EW aircraft and Anti-Radiation Missiles which are integrated with their fighter aircraft. They have potent ECM equipment onboard the fighters in addition to a large number of Ground based EW Regiments.

The IAF over the years has gained considerable experience in generating effective active ECM techniques, as the IAF has Fighters, Radars and SAM systems of diverse origins in its inventory. Most of the weapon systems with China are of similar design and we have been able to refine our EW techniques based on our knowledge of their systems.

I really don't believe India has to fret over not having developed the Kaveri to perfection. Even Chinese efforts at indigenous engines for its J-10, FC-1 and J-20 fighters have failed spectacularly (they're forced to import Russian engines for all these fighters). This shows that engine technology is very hard to master, and the learning curve is steep.

A lot can happen in 10 years.
