This suggestion is made for the Soviet Tech Tree.
Which I find meaningless at best since Su-30SM already exists.
But at least there’s another one and it will be possible to use a lot more in battle
The Indian one was already suggested
This is not the same however. Those systems got there because they don’t need additional systems (for example KH-38MT needed proof that it had something prohibiting the integration, which there is nothing saying that). Thing is, the Indians modified their MKIs to very high degrees it would not work here.
Example being rails and western weapon capability. Firstly for weapons like the Derby and ASRAAM being fitted, they need their own rails and therefore also new programming. Same goes for…well practically everything that is not Russian. The Russian MKI did not come with the capability of having them at all, therefore cannot have them (see Finnish Hornet compared to something like base Hornets). “Technical compatibility” would be something which is known does not need changes or is not somehow prohibited to carry them. In this case those weapons are prohibited as they would need additional modifications to have them.
The Malaysian MKM got KH-38s because there is nothing disproving or prohibiting it, with another brochure even saying the 30MK’s could have them
The Finnish Hornet cannot get guided ground weaponry or whatever because it did not get that upgrade/stage.
The same would apply here with the Finnish Hornet. This MKI did not get the upgrades for when it was in Russia and cannot physically and time wise because India needed specific mods from Israel to do that almost 2 decades later.

Not probably, definitely. These weapons are not compatible by default at all, they should not be in this suggestion.
What you’re suggesting here is the Indian Su-30MkI which our lovely Forum Mod Surbaissemaxxing has already made. If you’re suggesting the Russian one, stick to it. You seem to have gotten lost in which aircraft is which. These electronics were not a part of this aircraft, these weapons were not integrated, hell I’m not sure on some but I know for a fact a lot couldn’t even be mounted due to the rails they use.
The logic gaijin has is “Presumed Compatibility”, something that cannot be applied here. Modifications were made the Indian version, none were made to this. This suggestion needs to be altered, an the ahistorical armament options removed.

I don’t think this would particularly stop them if they wanted as we’ve seen some egregious stuff. I won’t change it but I have been working on another armament section.
Btw, also forgot to say…
RVV-SD/R-77-1 also didn’t exist at this point in time so realistically it’d be a worse Su-30SM by most metrics due to N011M not being compatible with R-77-1 by default.
(Lower br but uptier hell ain’t gonna stop that)
Was it not? Nvm I’ll remove it
Shouldnt it be the mka going to the USSR instead, since India is already an integral part of the UK TT?Anyway yes I’d love to see the MKI in game!
if we ever get mka
- give it r77 and its too powerfull with crazy 10 fox3 at 13,7
- give it r77-1 and its just a su30sm.
best way to give these export a chance is to actualy implement the difference ( nerf ) btw export and normal variant of the missile.

I’d vote yes, but it depends on where it is., i dont think UK need Su-30
This one is for the Russian produced fleet of Su-30MKI, India still has their own. Though armament could be different from the Indian version.

Rare -1 from me
Is there any viable source that the Russian-built Original version of Su-30MKI can also be equipped with Western weaponry, just like how the Indian version does?
Prob Gaijin just shove them up anyway in the name of technical compatibility
While Gaijin just don’t let JAS39C SAAF have AIM-120, though.

he updated it you can rethink about your vote
theres always the funky Russian Su-30MKM with a Thales pod
Though I’m unsure what else is compatible with this one, probably SAP-518 and the two warning receivers

Oh well, +1 if Gaijin doesn’t C&P every western weaponry on russian version of Su-30MKI
As long as Sukhoi built Su-30MKI, it seems there is no proper reason to be against it except in that case.
going to remove -1, but let me rethink a bit longer
