Even More MKIs?

[johnny.hoffman8]

I bet the Russians are pushing SU-35s instead... And why would the indians not want the 35s anyway? It's an obvious upgrade to the capabilities vs the MKIs, and the planes are not that different for maintenance and training purposes.

I can answer to your question. Indian Air Force simply called for TWO-seater version for their operational doctorine for air-superiority mission in long range. Two-seaters will help their pilots to relieve the mentally exhaustive and effectiveness in team working and networking. Even British Royal Air Force pilots are very impressed with Indian pilots for their aggressiveness and intelligence in superior fighter, Su-30MKI. There are Su-MKI mk.3 version that will intergrate 5th generation technology for their own FGFA seperately from Russian's Pak-Fa. FGFA is also two-seater stealth air-superiority fighter as request of operational doctorine of Indian Air Force.

Sure, but what about the networking capability of the Su-35 new radar?
Lets say if one Su-35 are transmitting on full active mode followed by four Su-27SM transmitting in passive mode.
Couldn't the Su-35 get fire solution for the other flankers as well?

I'm not sure how far the Russian gotten on the networking, but i think thats why modern radars today can fire x missile..



Thanks

This mode was in MiG-31 in 80-s. MiG-31 and Su-30 (it was planned that Su-30 would be a fighter of targeting and control) are capable for the control of a group of 4 Su-27 or MiG-29.
Su-35 have all this systems.
I don't know about "remote control" of the fighters in a group but transmitting information about current observerd situation it of course is able

There were earlier questions about the production line for the Su-35 starting up, it's starting up right now. "?????" ????? ????????? ???????? ?? ???????? ????? ???????????? ??-35? | ??????? ? ???????????? | ????? ???????? "??? ???????"

And the final delivery date is apparently 2015, not 2011, which means these fighters were purchased with special budget allocations, outside the regular 2009-11 budget.

Ok, so that would equal to about 9 aircraft a year.
Which mean we'll see at least 4-9 Su-35S next year.
Thx for the update.

Edit:
Are there any more info on what the upcoming batch of 12 Su-27SM will contain?
Radar, engines, ewe, jammers etc etc..
Perhaps a SM2 upgrade?



Thanks
