The Sukhoi SU 30 MKI, which is the mainstay of Indian air force fighter fleets, will have to undergo up-gradation to remain relevant to future air warfare.
The Sukhoi Su 30MKI is a twinjet multirole air superiority fighter developed by Russia's Sukhoi company and built under license by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for the Indian Air Force. A variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, it is a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter.

Development of the variant started after India signed a deal with Russia in 2000 to manufacture 140 Su 30 fighter jets. The first Russian-made Su 30MKI variant was accepted into the Indian Air Force in 2002, while the first Su 30MKI assembled in India entered service with the IAF in 2004. The IAF has nearly 260 Su 30MKI’s in inventory as of January 2020. The Su 30MKI is expected to form the backbone of the Indian Air Force's fighter fleet to 2022 and beyond.

Su 30’s were delivered to India in 2004, then the technology has changed a lot, and there has been some advancement in weapons especially Air to Air missiles and radar systems. Su 30’s were well suited for upgrades as they have large cockpits which can be used to keep additional equipment. The Su 30 MKI after up-gradation will be known as Su 35+ fighter aircraft, which will be considered far superior to the Chinese fleet of Su 35.

HAL is looking to overhaul and upgrade 200 Sukhoi SU 30 MKI with a super Sukhoi upgrade package, that will contain more Indian systems and subsystems in SU 30MKI.
