Why would you want a technological demonstrator only when the Su-35S is already available.But I am sure IAF won't go for the Su-35S unless the Russians make a twin seat variant even then I suppose it would be highly unlikely for the IAF to go for them.

Su-27M/Su-35 has canards.The Su-35BM/Su-35S has no canards this is the deep modernisation variant of the Su-35/Su-27M.
after these upgrades will MKI be at par with 35BM?
But su-35 is already a close cousin of su-30mki they have only liitle difference in hardware and software.maybe after these upgrades they will be the same
Sengupta is very unreliable source. Pls think before posting his innovative ideas those are far from reality.
I am still undecided on that actually. I do think that he is not the most reliable source, but he often has very interesting infos, especially when it's about the specs of Indian developments, or procurments.
In regard to the MKI upgrade I also had some reservations, but I do think if we go for more thrust it will be a modification of the engine that HAL already produces, instead of a new licence production of the S117 engine (although that is an upgrade as well). IAF seems not to want the S117 engine for Pak Fa / FGFA and puts pressure on the development of the new AL41 engine, that's why I think if we see HAL producing a new Russian engine, it will only be that one and not the S117 inbetween.
Sorry for late reply. Earlier wrote a reply but failed to post it due to some net problem.
I am more confirmed now that Prasun is very unreliable. His second incarnation is worse. Few days back he wrote an article where he said IA is buying or bought Skyranger air defence gun while there is no single news report about it and the company Rheinmetall is actually black listed by MoD. I will be more happy than anyone else to see Skranger for Indian armed forces and I have talked about it many times in this forum. There are few other areas where he is lying caught red handed.
Rheinmetall was dropped from the list when Indian procurement authorities realized it was working with banned South African company Denel.
