Defense News ,India :-  Hindustan Aeronautics Limited's Nasik Division recently organized a special meeting with 56 industry representatives to talk about the upcoming upgrades for the Su-30MKI fighter jets. These upgrades, valued at over ₹60,000 crores, were announced by Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari last year.

During a lecture at Savitribai Phule Pune University, Chaudhari shared plans to transform the Sukhoi Su-30MKI jets from Russian to Indian status. This shift is a crucial part of India's effort to make the aircraft more indigenous. The goal is to achieve a remarkable 78 percent indigenization for the Su-30MKI aircraft through these upgrades.
