It is that for now
probably, Not sure why they cant just make it a Darin II and give it an actual MFD and a RWR display

Where is the RWR display?
Alright, a laser-nose Jag w/ an offset pod and one gun. Based on the serial, this is one of the BAe-built examples ?
( Quarter Century of the Jaguar in India – Bharat Rakshak )
"The upgrade program was named INDRA but was later changed to DARIN which stands for Display Attack Ranging Inertial Navigation. To manage this project, Inertial nav-attack system Integration Organization (IIO) was set up in Bangalore. The major sub system for DARIN were Sagem Inertial Platform, Smiths Industries HUD/WAC, Ferranti Combined Map & Electronics Display (COMED), Crouzet Air Data Package and SFIM Flight Test Instrumentation Package – all to be integrated using dual Mil 1553B standard Digital Data bus. The retrofitted Jaguars received IOC in 1984 and FOC a year later in 1985. Reliability of DARIN was far better than the old one. IIO also retrofitted six Jaguars with DARIN and Thomson CSF Agave radar for maritime attack, this variant was named as Jaguar IM.
A recent upgrade program called DARIN II was carried out to extend the operational life of Jaguars by another two decades. Improvements on avionic suit were carried out under this project. This upgrade included Sagem’s Ring-Laser gyro integrated with global positioning system (GPS), it provides position accuracy within 100 meters. Twin mission computers installed on DARIN II jaguars were developed by DRDO’s DARE (Defence Avionics Research Establishment). Smith’s HUD found on DARIN was replaced by Israeli Elbit HUD. A single liquid crystal multifunction display (MFD) and a new chaff dispenser were also added."
Not sure how accurate this is though.
Hmmm
so far

kinda sad tbh Not even unique except for the skin.
Great photo showing that the deletion of the starboard gun is a fundamental part of the wiring upgrades for DARIN-II/III, and DARIN-I Jags still with the gun can’t be hot-swapped to carry the TGP.
Unless there is media somewhere explicitly showing JS170 or other DARIN-I without the starboard gun, the event prize is simply modelled wrong.

yup
British built, upgraded with mk811 engine by HAL probably. And then continued to being modified over the years
@Dragon_Storm_246 do you know when they started fitting the jaguars with the separate pylon for the pod? With the DARIN2?
unfortunately no havent researched it that much

Seems this is the Darin I Upgrade (modification) cuz the Indian AF wanted a more modern display for the targeting pod.

Laser nose, but the Thales TMV-36 from the DARIN-II upgrade, not the original Ferranti LRMTS nose

why is everyone so much into this shit jet
From what I seem to figure out is that the Gun delete started with the DARIN-II upgrade. So if what we get in war thunder is not a DARIN-II then its missing a gun.
