Gets mocked by Meteor missiles from 150Km
Meteor is not in the room with us yet tho
Also MKI please steal meteors from the indian rafales as well🙏🏻

Nou.
Small nitpick, it now uses Dhruti RWR (R-118), which adds 2 more sensors on top of the vertical stabilizers
not sure if it changes vertical coverage angles tho.
it also now covers D band (1-18ghz) instead of 2-18ghz on tarang, still no K band coverage sadly
Some new glide bomb on mki, called TARA
EVEN MORE FREAKING GLIDE BOMBS, KHAGANTAK (enter random mass numbers here)
both in IR and gps variants
grom 1 equivalent
so now mki has the following glide bombs :-
TARA
Khagantak
Gaurav
Spice
SAAW
like dawg why so much

Happens when a nation is developing capability.
Spice was the OG glide bomb on Su30 but was imported from Israel.
SAAW is basically the first glide bomb developed by DRDO but has lower mass at 125kg .
Gaurav glide bomb is heavier than SAAW in 500 -1000kg category.
On the other hand the TARA is a guidance kit that can be fitted to any dumb bomb. It is a replacement for the Spice. SAAW and Gaurav are glide bombs from the start.
Khagantak is a private development which Government of India is encouraging to reduce imports and increase export of weapons to other countries as well.

india upgrading their su30s ? yeah no lmao
send 150Billion to D’assault for 250 more rafale.
what a joke
Can’t blame them tbh, the Rafale is so pretty… Who wouldn’t lose their mind and spend their entire budget on it?
honestly, you are clearly an hypocrite for saying that, at the end of the day it’s the same thing for the indians which is no money for indians jets.
hypocrit fro what lmao ? for saying that india dont know how to invest their money ?
no money for india project because they all spend it in the wrong project to end 10 years late for their 5th gen plane.
cant blame them, but in a world where you have a country next to you with nearly 300 and more j20.
rafale is not the only option on the table
Obviously super sukhoi upgrade is much better than any rafale that exists rn

IIRC they are also exploring the options on 5th gen fighter like SU-57E

they are, but the whole idea is to buy a minimum batch and get all the tech transfered to them.
their goal is not the su57E itself.
I am hugely opposed to both Russia and Britain getting Indian Su-30 models.
Russia should not have them because they use NATO systems.
Britain should not have them because they rely on Israeli and Russian weapons. I already oppose India being within Britain as it is. The shoehorning of Soviet equipment into tech trees without historical relevance is lazy and unneeded.
Would be so great if India was its own nation, but it won’t be so whatever
russian mki doesnt get nato weapons. only get the targeting pod and ECM from south africa i think ?
