mkk On internal fuel only: 3000 kms, With on mid-air refueling: 5200 kms

iaf sukhoi su 30 mki willl get a new radar in 2010 may be it will be a aesa radar

even i feel that navy should get 30 to 40 mki of there own let iaf have all 190 mki for them self then you see naval mki will be more deadly then iaf’s mki

navy will also have some su 30 mki i had a chat with harrier pilots in goa some time ago and they said in future few mki will be shifted to navy but other thing they told me was that airforce is not infavour of navy getting more fighter planes they think they can do the job but navy is still pushing for advanced fighters they are commited to n-lca has they want more fighters and mig 29k will coming to the my place in 2007 i mean goa right ,they is good enough chance of naval variant of mca in future

i donot think that mca will be ready by 2012 or 2014 has claimed by ada and hal other wise mca may turn out to be a double engined lca with streched wing and better avionics

nlca will take to air in 2009 and around 40-60 will be inducted and harldly anything about mca comes out in indian press it may be still in drawing boards and may only fly in 2017 or some where around

does any one have a picture of owax plane ???
