Armenia is eyeing a $2.5–3 billion deal with India’s HAL for Su-30MKI fighter jets, a major move against Azerbaijan’s JF-17C purchase. Deliveries may start by 2027, featuring Uttam AESA radar, Astra missiles, and EW systems. The Su-30MKI, India’s airpower backbone, now receives a 'Super Sukhoi' upgrade for export, boosting HAL’s global reach and India’s defense diplomacy.
