It is said, the old Su-30SMs go through modernization program to be modernized to SM2 and since 2025 start producing(not modernizing old ones) new Su-30SM2 which all till the single one come with Al-41F1S and Irbis radar

Adding the Kh-38MT to another nation is the best outcome that could have been, apart from the complete removal of the missile.
The only problem is whenever Soviet and Japan get on the same side in matches
Both Malaysia and Indonesia are Japanese sub trees.

Is Rostec and Sukhoy factory documentary of 2024 a joke to you?
There are no other sources, I repeat all you can possibly can get is what I said + different news.
I would prefer non of countries to have them, then gift it to another one, just hoping the Russian community will make it till the end in steam like china did once
And this documentary showed us what ?
That an airframe was tested with new engines yes, but it is NOT in serial production yet
I read what was posted on their site and they were testing it in 2024. The thing is they didn’t posted anything about new engines, the last batch from november is running on AL-31FP
There was a literal pilot of SM2 and talking about it…
Go watch the video again then. They did not mention serial integration of the new engines, just tests and plans for future
Iirc I read among the batches delivered in 2024 were full spec SM2s, Belarus was even delivered Su-30SM and a handful of Su-30SM2.

Here is an article about Su-30SM2s being delivered
And in the same documentary it’s said since next year they will be delivered, it was in 2024
Any news on the MB326B being reduced in BR. Seems a bit silly for it too be the same as the 326K with massively downgraded firepower (no 30mm, no internal guns, no 7.62 minigun pods) with only 50cals mounted awkwardly on the wings. Surely its 6.3 level now?

so was that small update it for today?
damn i was hoping to see su30sm2s radar
Of course they are being delivered. The thing that everyone tries to tell you but you don’t seem to understand, is that they all have the same old AL-31FP engine.
The new engine ( AL-41F-1S) is not yet integrated into serial production
