Su-27M Canard, no TVC

Too bad they renamed the engines to not even give it the proper thrust
And with no “Cobra Button” the Su-27SM cant even Cobra in sim now because of the Fly By Wire

Isnt Su-27M just the Su-33?
Correct. And the Canards are effectively vestigial. I.e. they literally only exist to get the fumking plane off the ramp of a Kuznetsov. Also, they had to redesign the radome to not scrape said ramp, and that forced them to reshape the LERX’s, and the now the wings have a shitton of surface area because the plane had no right being selected over the MiG-29 (Sukhoi cheated, sorry papa Pavel), and thus folding wings HAD to be a thing along with reinforced landing gear for all the extra bullsh*t.
Sorry Su-33 stans, I love all of God’s children, but this thing rides the short bus.

That’s the Su-27K, and the Su-27M is the inital designation for the Su-35, which does have TVC (and canards).

Did Russia ever attempt to and I cant believe im saying this but Canard the MiG-29?
Su-35(Export name for Su-27M) and Su-35S(new Su-35 with TVC, but without canards) are different planes

I don’t believe so. The only Mikoyan with canards I can think of is the MiG-1.44

MiG-33 with one big engine is just photoshop. Real MiG-33 is MiG-29M for export
