@Blanchboi

Per this quote, is there any more information available regarding the extent to these changes?

As / when new information becomes available or there are any new developments to share, we for sure will.

@Blanchboi

I have also asked in the past whether we can expect American top tier jets like the F-16C, F-15C, and F-15E to get their respective AESA radar upgrades on their existing platforms, or if we should expect new separate variants (eg. F-16C “Late”, F-15C “Late”, etc.) to come after them. Seeing as we got the AESA radar on the Rafale, the PESA radar on the Su-34, and will more than likely get the PESA radar of the Su-30SM in the future, I am curious about the future of US top tier. If there is no info on this yet, no worries. Just curious :)

Currently no plans for this in the shorter term. The aircraft are not outdated currently by any stretch. Always a possibility it may change later however. But it’s not clear how it would be done if it was.
