Not entirely, it would likely have access to BrahMos which is also compatible with other Russian aircraft, though that could also be added to the SM probably.
…yes? The Russian one did not have weapons that didn’t even exist by the time. It did not time travel.
One cannot just put a missile on something and instantly expect it to work. You need programming for that. All of those need programming and modifications, which the Russian one did not have.
No idea why existence now has to do anything here with a Russian missile that is already proven to be able to be used on 30MK’s (which you even posted in the suggestion as an image), same of which cannot be said for the early versions of the listed weaponry.
It should be able to carry it, but as for functions I do not know.
Regardless, using that as a comparison to justify, or what appears to justify the Russian MKI getting those weapons does not make sense at all.
-
The weapons did not exist at the time, or at least not in the way they are now
-
They needed specific modifications to be fitted, as one cannot just put a missile on a jet and pray for it to work. A western missile on an eastern fighter 100% needs further modifications.

I won’t even get started with the internal systems. It’s like comparing the MiG-21 F13 with the MiG-21 Bison.
In short, it does not work. Only logical way is to give it the weapons and systems (like the Israeli ECM and such fitted in Russia, which I am not against that), otherwise it’s like wanting as I previously said saying the F-4C needing Kurnass 2000 weapons and systems and such.

I’m all for it getting whatever it was compatible or delivered with as well, but I’m not going to act like others are impossible in this game.
Other air craft get stuff they never got all the time. Just look at all the ldircm helis.
Look at mig-29N.
could you like make a list of stuff it can get ?
as far as i know is
- target pod
- ecm pod
- brahmos
I’ll make a defining section for it later, I’m still gathering details.

is the mki same plane as this image ?
No thanks I think there’s plenty more interesting members of the Flanker family
a flanker with few differences with su30sm(even can see it as sm’s early version).With MICA?why not give mkm aim120 first.better give it to the UK.
It would not get MICAs, it would not get AMRAAMs either which no flanker ever received.
They’ll get the Indian variant if anything at all, this is Russian and will go to the USSR tree.

Better give it PL-12s ;)
Added to the USSR tree?
Hell yeah!

It is only operated by india so therefore it should go into the Indian tt when that gets added
If you read the post you’d quickly find out that’s not true.
Maybe the later version of it, but the initial batch was flown by Russia for development and testing which incorporated some French and Israeli tech.

Isn’t the base version th su30k not MKI? Also ii know the mki was flown by Russia for marketing but i still think the mki should go to india since it its in active service with the Indian af but im fine if the ‘30k goes to Russia. Not sure if its an amazing idea to give Russia another su-30 but yeah
Yeah that’s cool. I’d like to see a form of the Su-30MKI 2000 added to the Soviet tree, doesn’t mean it’ll happen because there is better options.
idk why thats bad the russia get its export plane that didnt buy.
i mean we have uk with bunch of exported stuff add to the tech tree.
even the weapons on some EFT.
That’s cuz almost no one bought them. Most of the vickers export tanks weren’t used except the Vickers Mk.I used by India as the Vijayanta. The Su-30MKI was bought and is in active service by India
China also got its export stuff, this wouldn’t be any different.
With its open weapons architecture maybe even some of the Indian weapons as well.
no one also bought challenger 2E and yet we have it.
