A quick search revealed that the models purchased by China are SU-30MKK and SU-30MK2.

I wish this was coming for China over the JH-7 premium.
Su-30MK was developed with China money and for Chinese demand and China is the first operator?
Oh please no…
Just give a JH-7 (at proper BR instead of current) or F-8IIM
Tbh Su-30MK is meaningless now (except the Kh-59ME)
No, the MK was developing before China get any Su-27SK. And MKK was made for them by KnAAPO with chinese instructions what they want on new aircraft. They paid for final product not development phase.
Those are trash, subsonic, large, easy to spot and intercept. Also it was wrong amount of them, only 2 were carried with data link pod under the engine.
As much that I have my unpopular opinion on the J-7D, I belive that whatever is done or whatever the tech tree has or can offer, this need to be a higher premium vehicle, not for the greed but just making the research time spent more efficient, although China could get J-10C as @ron_23 is assuming, as a premium it would require logical nerfs to not just jump to top tier, which I di support, an more unique approach.
not as a premium tho
as a tech tree top tier
Yea why tf would anyone want to make J10C a premium
so then logically we can have the MKK with N001VE, MK2 with N001VEP, folder both under the J-11 so it wouldn’t be a garbage bloat grind
Logically they will be placed after Jh-7A because PLAAF wanted new jets with capabilities to use precise weapon.
Along with the JH-7 so players have to grind all 3 on the line until they get foldered in a few more updates…
I mean yes, China can receive the Su30mk2, I just want to know why the hell gaijin never releases the pre-order for it
