Is that a fixed aesa or mounted on a gimbal
uttam is a fixed aesa , they haven’t said anything about the azimuth coverage of virupaksha radar but it kinda looks like its mounted on a gimbal ? so ig it will have very good azimuth coverage.

okay mica has eject launchers which means it can be used in between engines. 10x mica incoming!!!
doesnt the UK have any E2Ks with an AESA?
ECRS is in development iirc, but it is heavily planned to be fitted on the newest British EFTs. Was also shown as a plan during RIAT. Not sure if they tested one on an EFT though

given that they removed grom 2, i highly doubt that even for the shits and giggles
Why would the MKI even belong in the russian tree?
Indian vehicle, Indian sub tree nation gets it.

I agree with you, others will not and Gaijin don’t generally like to upset the biggest playerbase in the game.

Look Russian mki
Although Russian mki is basically su30sm
I don’t think they need it but they can certainly get it
