India’s fleet of Su-30MKI fighter jets may eventually need to be replaced due to advancements in aerospace technology, even with planned modifications. The Super-Sukhoi, an upgrade intended to bring the Su-30MKI closer to the Su-35S’s capabilities, will still be limited in terms of infrared signature (IRS) and radar cross-section (RCS).
All of these things, together with the speed at which radars, surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and air-to-air missiles (AAMs) are developing, highlight the necessity of developing next-generation aircraft that are effective against contemporary air threats.
Fighter planes of the fifth and sixth generations are outfitted with the newest technology to outperform opponents and are intended to function as “spies and snipers.” Although these sophisticated aircraft can be supplemented by older models, frontline
