It is reported what the modernization of the fighter consisted of.
According to the director of the Lviv ARZ Dmitry Matrunchik, the plant worked with co-executors of the state defense order, which eventually "made it possible to provide the aircraft with new avionics." It has been announced that a "more powerful radar station" will be installed on the aircraft, integrated into the onboard satellite navigation system.
According to Matrunchik, the possibilities of monitoring and recording the parameters of the technical condition of the fighter, its engine, and avionics have been expanded.
