IAF's Sukhoi Su-30MKI

Was there any hardware changes that necessitated this new cone though?

I am guessing that a new radar transparent coating was applied onto the radome

Nah that will come with the new fleet wide update

The radome structure/coating is equally as important. If the atoms/molecules in the coating reflect or absorb radar waves, then it is a serious issue with respect to offensive and defensive electronic attack ability

When can we expect the 1st MKI with DAS-MAWS?

We don't even have a certified frame with all those 6 ir sensors and 80-90 aircrafts have been upgraded with indigeneous dcmaws

DC-MAWS is dual colour missile approach warning system. Dual Colour MAWS system operates in the mid IR band for identifying the approaching missiles of all generations. The spectral information of two colors is used to discriminate efficiently between sunlight reflections, background radiation and the radiation from the missile. The DCMAWS consists of a set of up to six dual color IR sensors installed on the platform, which samples the space in accordance with the defined spatial coverage and integrated with advanced processor running state-of-the-art clutter rejection and tracking...

yeah, i mean our DC-MAWS, not the Russian ones.
If 80+ MKIs have been upgraded with DC-MAWS, do we have any image?
