Russia has renewed its offer of the Izdeliye 177S engine for India’s Su-30MKI fleet during President Putin’s recent visit to India, putting propulsion at the centre of discussions around the Super Sukhoi upgrade plan. 🇮🇳🇷🇺 Su-30MKI currently uses the AL-31FP, producing 123 kN AB and 76 kN dry thrust. Its Total Technical Life was recently extended by HAL from 2,000 to 2,500 flying hours. The 177S can deliver 142 kN AB and 88 kN dry thrust, around 16% higher AB thrust, along with a 6,000-hour service life and lower fuel consumption.

I get why Pakistanis were targeting the Indian S-400 🇮🇳 by spreading fake, doctored satellite images of its kill. It's because this very system gave them one of the most painful blows in their history, shooting down 06 of their 🇵🇰 aircraft in one go, taken out at a world record breaking range of over 300 km. The S-400 simply did what it was built to do.

Pakistan is set to start receiving J-35 stealth fighters from China as early as next year, ahead of schedule. A total of 40 jets will be delivered. It's important to note that a toned-down variant will be provided to Pakistan, but it's still a significant leap. Pakistani pilots are already in China for the training to get familiar with the platform.

With the Indian Navy Chief in the US 🇺🇸, Washington may showcase the B-1B Lancer, while Moscow 🇷🇺 could highlight the Tu-160M “White Swan” during Putin’s December visit. If acquired, these long-range bombers would give India 🇮🇳 the ability to strike Chinese carrier groups at stand-off ranges, expanding its maritime strike reach, deep-sea deterrence, and anti-access capabilities across the Indian Ocean.
