[Su-34] The NAZ factory in Novosibirsk (UAC(ROSTEC)) has given the VKS a batch of Su-34s, reference not visible. Type not specified, NVO? At least 2 aircraft, judging by the photos. A (white) fuel tank can be seen under the belly.

According to this link, these Su-34NVOs have got Su-35s 117S engines on them. Maybe new electronics as well. Interesting:

Russia received deeply upgraded Su-34Ms powered by Su-35's engine

Russia received deeply upgraded Su-34M powered by Su-35's. This will bring more thrust than the current one. Rostec announced the delivery as the first for 2023

On digging this topic further, I found that new birds of this standard are known as Su-34M while the current birds when upgraded to this M standard would carry the NVO nomenclature.

Do we have this missile?

Nope. This is their PL-15 equivalent(dual pulse with AESA seeker) currently not for export. We have R-77-1 which is way inferior to R-77M. Because of latter's AESA seeker, it is pounding UAF fighters without triggering their RWR. You need digital RWR to intercept/detect AESA emissions. Analogue ones like Ukrainian Migs and Sukhoi have got, has zero chance to counter it.

@randomradio do LCA mk1a have digital RWR?
 
With now US playing dirty games overtly regarding Khalistan movement, F-35 is out of India's future VLO fleet(it hardly had any chance to begin with).

On the other hand, Russians have shown patents of Su-60(twin-seat Su-57), something that IAF always wanted. In fact, we could call it FGFA if we want. Along with that, now type-30 engines have either became operational or are going to become very soon. IAF never liked AL-41F1 but always wanted AL-51-F1. With both these things becoming reality simultaneously, IAF very well may get re-interested in FGFA program.

Countering J-20s is our biggest priority now. Upgraded MKI and Rafale can only counter it with help of our IADS. Su-60MKI/FGFA will dominate it in a 1 on 1 head-on BVR/WVR battle. We need it. Period.
