But unlike the MKM, the MKI has a noticeable difference in the antenna fastening

antennas are integral part of the RWR, without them it would simply not work.
they are longer than L-150 antennas

ur missing the point. I’m saying SPO antennas =/= SPO RWR. The Su30mkm can have a RWS-50 RWR that uses the SPO Antennas.
Antennas of RWR are not universal. For something like that to work SAAB would have to design an RWR specifically for Russian interfaces. That is if Russia would even be willing to share technical information about L-150 antennas.
That RWR display screen shown looks a bit similar to Astronautics’ promotional material for their 3ATI / EW MFCD’s
Not saying it was made by Astronautics, but I find the similarity pretty funny.

Your own source shows that both sides provided complete blocks of avionics, not something that was joint developed. There is a humongous differecnce between these 2 methods when military is concerned.
Im not saying it was joint developed, Im saying that SAAB made the MAWS and LWS to work on a russian plane so wondering if they needed permission for the antennas are out of the question
That plus the official UAC website says only the lwr and maws were made by Saab, and doesn’t mention anything else
And they have no obligaiton to state everything SAAB gave to Malaysia. There is no concrete evidence to deny SAAB’s RWR
You can replace “Saab rwr” with literally any rwr if that’s all the evidence you have, lack of omission
is there any concrete evidence to prove the saab rwr?
There’s a manufacturer’s document that describes all modern (post-1991) aircraft. The 30MKI doesn’t have anything listed in the RWR section, since it’s not equipped with L-150, while the 30MKM has L-150-30.
Spoiler
To be honest, I don’t know, anything is possible, India often cooperates with Western companies.
This is the Algerian one, i take it?
yes
MKI/MKA
Most likely, MKI is noted here because there was a Russian prototype with L-150:

Thanks for the source, looks like TsKBA provided the RWR for the MKM.
