00:00Brace for impact. Aviation fans, today, we're taking a close look at the 2025 upgraded Sukhoi

00:08Su-30 MKI India's most formidable air dominance fighter, with new tech, weapons, and avionics.

00:15Is it still a world-class beast? Or is it falling behind? Let's find out. We'll break this into.

00:22White Heavy Checkmark Jet Details. What's new in 2025 White Heavy Checkmark Exterior.

00:28Stealthier or same old flanker White Heavy Checkmark Cockpit and Interior.

00:34A tech revolution White Heavy Checkmark Pilot Comfort.

00:37Long missions or back pain White Heavy Checkmark Performance.

00:41Speed. Range and deadly upgrades.

00:44White Heavy Checkmark Final Verdict. Is it still India's best smash that like button,

00:50subscribe, and hit the bell let's take off. The Su-30 MKI has been India's backbone fighter for

00:57decades, but the 2025 upgrade brings critical improvements. New AESA radar.

01:04ZUK AIM 200 plus KM detection range. Enhanced U-suite. Israeli LM8222 jamming pod integration.

01:13Weapons boost. Astra MK2 160 km BVR. Rudram 2 anti-radiation missile.

01:21Engine upgrade. AL41 F1 S thrust vectoring. 14,500 kgf. Price estimated. 62 million per unit upgraded.

01:33Now, let's walk around this beast. Does it look any different? The Su-30 MKI retains its iconic flanker

01:40silhouette. But subtle changes enhance performance. Radar cross-section RCS reduction. Ram coatings and

01:48serrated edges on panels. New paint scheme. Low visibility gray camo for modern stealth ops.

01:54Hard points. 12 stations up from 10. Now carrying Brahmo's NG and SAAW. IRST and MOZ.

02:03OLS-35 IRST for passive tracking. UV-based missile approach warning. Despite upgrades,

02:10it's still a huge jet. Almost 22 meters long. That's bigger than an F-22 Raptor.

02:18Now, let's hop into the cockpit. Is it still analog or finally futuristic desktop computer cockpit and

02:25Avionics 150-230? The biggest leap. The 2025 cockpit finally ditches Soviet-era dials.

02:33Small blue diamond interior upgrades. Glass cockpit. Two large MFDS multifunction displays plus HUD.

02:44Helmet-mounted display HMD. Elbit Targo 2 for off-bowerside targeting.

02:50Voice commands and AI assist. Reduces pilot workload in combat.

02:56RWR and data link. Integrated with IAF-S Netra AWACS. Still no touch screens but at least it's not all analog like the old MKI.

03:06Now, how comfortable is it for pilots on long missions?

03:11Adult airplane pilot comfort 2.30 to 3 o'clock. The SU-30 MKI was never a luxury jet, but upgrades help.

03:20Level. Small blue diamond ergonomics and fatigue. Seat upgrade. 0-0 ejection seat K36D 5.5.

03:31Oxygen and G tolerance. Improved PBKM system for high-G maneuvers.

03:37Climate control. Still basic, but better than MiG-21.

03:43Mission duration. 3.5 hours with refueling probes.

03:47Pilot feedback. IAF pilots say the HMD and voice commands help, but long sorties are still exhausting.

03:57Now, the big question how does it fly high voltage performance 3 to 4 o'clock?

04:03The SU-30 MKI was always a beast, but 2025 tweaks make it deadlier.

04:10Small blue diamond flight and combat upgrades.

04:13Super cruise almost. Sustained Mach 1.2 without afterburner.

04:20Maneuverability. Thrust-vectored AL-41F engines for insane Pogacab S-Cobra moves.

04:27Combat radius. 1,500 kilometers with drop tanks.

04:32Weapons load. 8,000 kilograms max Brahmo's NG, Astra MK2, R-73 WBR.

04:43It's not as stealthy as rifle, but nothing beats it in raw power and payload.

04:48Final verdict should India keep upgrading it?

04:51Checkered flat conclusion 4 to 5 o'clock. Thumbs up pros.

04:58Heavy check mark unmatched payload and range. Heavy check mark AESA radar and deadly BVR missiles.

05:06Heavy check mark thrust vectoring equals unbeatable dogfighter. Thumbs down cons.

05:12Cross mark still not stealthy. Cross mark cockpit lags behind F-35 rifle.

05:20Cross mark high maintenance costs. Light bulb final verdict.

05:25The 2025 SU-30 MKI upgrade makes it deadlier than ever, but it's not a 5th gen jet.

05:33If India wants future-proof air power, it needs more rifleies and AMCAs but for now,

05:39this flanker still rules the skies.
