The Jaguar MAX (Mothership for Augmented Xploitation) concept unveiled at #AeroIndia2019 is a post DARIN-3 upgrade proposal that stretches credulity considering that HAL recently acquired 31 Christmas Tree Jaguars from France to maintain the current IAF Jaguar fleet! 
Considering also that HAL has made no headway with augmenting Jaguar engine thrust by fitting the @Honeywell_Aero engine. The MAX concept is not based on threat perceptions, rather it's based on imagined HAL capabilities a la a school science project!
My skepticism aside, there's some thrill in reading what HAL imagines the MAX would wield. Remember, it would also wield HAL's Unmanned Wingman concept that I tweeted about earlier, the design of which is a blatant copy of the Kratos Valkyrie XQ-58A Low Cost Attritable Aircraft
Here is a re-look at the Jaguar Max cockpit, which I had tweeted earlier.
