I can never stop marveling at how humongous Su-30MKI are.
Will the Jaguars be re-engined at all?Jaguar DARIN III in primer! Can see the retractable IFR probe outlined

If you mean upgrades then very unlikely but replacements perhaps
I'm talking about replacement. Honeywell F125IN was the engine of choice and RR backed out leading to single vendor situation. Hence plan was junked.
I guess it is possible but introducing American dependency these days is very risky....the US dems are very anti-India especially if BJP is in power as they can't push the agenda easily. We wont know all the details but I would think if AMCA is real and more than scale models then we should rather get Rafale's and let jags retire at some point.
No that plan is dropped.
I heard there is an indigenous engine that will replace it.
No hvt sir had confirmed that no reengine will take place
Probably because the Jaguars will start getting replaced. With MiG 21 phaseout in another 5 years (replaced by LCA Mk1 and Mk1A), the Jaguars are all set to be replaced by the LCA Mk2.
That may be used in ucav but not here
Most likely Rafale's and ultimately at some point Tejas line
Its potency went down with new ship based AD these days....I guess still very potent vs Paki navy
Not one in 2014 , now it is rafale + darin 3 , later tejas mk1 a and mk2 , super sukhoi but nothing before 2023
I don't think any fighter aircraft had AESA in 2014. As for 2021 it seems only Rafale.
Darin 3 soon
I never understood the logic why Tejas got EL/M-2032 (rather than EL/M-2052) as it clearly needs AESA radar rather than SEPECAT Jaguar where EL/M-2032 would suffice.
