Should’ve clarified, I mean the first batch of su30s that India got. So they were originally exported as su30mk, then upgraded to the mki standard?
Ik later on Russia exported some mkis and they started to build the mki locally, was just talking about the initial mks they got
No the first Su-30MKs thst India got are named Su-30MKs they are practically a two seater Su-27 and they got them in the 90s. Once the Su-30MKI was delivered these Su-30MKs were sent to Ethiopia

They did have the additional pylons though, so they could very much sit at 13.0 with their additional weight being a tradeoff for their additional payload capacity
Seems pretty terrible ngl, only 5km
For UV type maws this usually the range you will get
what are all the types of MAWS available ?
UV or PD
UV is passive with worse range
PD is not passive so can be detected but has better range with ranging and has better time in bad weather
IR. You forgot ir
It’s IR + UV afaik
However idk but only uv ones are mentioned here

I don’t think their were enough people not fighting in the war to even produce any more planes, especially the Su-57 with how long they take to make (and how broke the country and company are)
i think they are producing about 10-12 plane per year, not to forget this is only the base model and maybe there a upgraded version (su57m or sm ) all i heard is that they are focusing on bigger weapons for alternative r37m who is in prototype phase and better engines with maybe a double seat variant. to be short, russia is producing a lot of planes, i really meant it, plus lets not forget that russia air force is still based on the su35 and su34, stealth is only like a side thing, its like usa keep f22 for air and use only f15e and f16 for strike to save money from building a multi billion project
