HAL이 Su-30MKI의 현대화 사업 예산으로 40억 달러를 요청했네요. 260기 중 150기 개량 예정으로 2024년부터 인도될 예정입니다.
레이더를 국산 우탐 MK3 AESA로 교체하고, IRST도 국산 시스템으로 바꾼다고 합니다. 콕핏 디스플레이도 교체하고 디지털 비행통제컴퓨터도 장착되며 국산 공대공미사일과 순항미사일, 센서 포드를 장착할 수 있게 개조될 예정입니다.
Su-30이 인도 공군의 수적 주력이었네요. 900기 넘게 생산됐던 MiG-21 바이슨은 128기까지 줄었습니다. 전투기 수량이 698기로 국토 면적 대비 적은 것 같네요. 중국 공군은 2300기.

India to modernize Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter fleet with $4 billion program

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is going to request $4 billion from the Indian Ministry of Defense to upgrade the country’s fleet of Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets, Indian media reports.
The upgrade – dubbed Super Sukhoi – has been announced in 2021. However, it has been hanging in the balance since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
A revamped upgrade program is now expected to be approved by the Indian government, several Indian news websites report.
Earlier reports suggest that the program was reoriented towards wider employment of domestic aerospace companies.
New electronics
The upgrades mostly concern the jets’ avionics and sensor systems. Notably, the slotted planar array radar, which dates back to the 1980s, is bound to be replaced by a Uttam MK3 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, manufactured by HAL.
The radar is to be complimented by a new domestically-manufactured infrared search and track (IRST) system, although its advantages over the original OLS-30 system remain unannounced.
A modernized cockpit with new displays is also going to be installed, in addition to a new digital flight control computer (DFCC).
The weaponry is also to be upgraded with the ability to carry an expanded range of domestically-manufactured air-to-air missiles, cruise missiles and sensor pods.
150 out of 260 Su-30MKIs operated by the Indian Air Force’ are expected to undergo the upgrade program, which is planned to start in 2024 and deliver the first upgraded aircraft by 2025.
India’s most numerous jet
The Su-30MKI is a fourth-generation fighter jet designed as an India-specific variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, a further development of the Soviet-era Su-27.
50 of India’s Su-30MKIs have been manufactured in Russia, while the rest were built by HAL under license.
Since deliveries ended in 2018, the Su-30MKI remained Indian Air Force’s most numerous combat aircraft, serving alongside smaller fleets of Mirage 2000s, MiG-29s and MiG-21s.
In 2019, India started receiving its most modern aircraft yet, the Dassault Rafale. Production of the Su-30MKI was stopped, and plans to upgrade the aircraft to make it competitive against 4.5 generation jets, such as China’s Shenyang J-16 started.

제가 알기론 MC는 인도제가 맞는 것으로 알고 있습니다. 이외 추가적으로 내장/포드형 전자전장비를 국산화하려했는데 그 물건의 성능이 너무 저열해서 테자스도 그렇고 이스라엘제로 선회했었고요
@마로 인도 정부 자료를 찾아보니 개발이 늦어지고 있다는 (2003년) 것들이나 나왔는데 달리긴 달렸군요.
