One of its most important upgrades was the addition of a 3-foot long yellow lightning bolt on the fuselage, just under the canopy. Pilots love it.

As far as I know, the only advance is an organic IRST capability on the Indian MMRCA F/A-18E/F, vs. requiring a LITENING pod on USN F/A-18E/Fs for IRST.
