No news and trusted source. So, just take it as fake news for now.

Excellent catch

still in AI colours but they’ve removed all AI writing, replaced it with IAF and registered it as a military aircraft

Nice...... beware enemies pvt company does possess its own airforce
Others have private army but we went a step ahead by initiating private airforce
Jokes apart I hope necessary changes would have been implemented for conversion

Looks like minimal work has been done so far other than re-registering it. I guess for now they are trying to get their pilots trained up on the new fleet

they’ll have to spend a long time in BLR to be refit for the AEW role, I’m not sure if they’ve even identified the private player to undertake the conversion work

It will be done by Airbus. Putting a radar on top of an aircraft is no joke. Things have to start right from wind tunnel scale model stages.

Indeed it’s a huge undertaking and they’ll have to have a lot of OEM support although we’ve not heard a thing or any agreement with Airbus as of yet. Afaik they were looking for a private player to undertake the Conversion work

The range is for the radar not the flying range of the plane itself, right?

It's for radar, but the plane itself is not finished yet so it's just a speculation
