As far as i know R-77-1 comes by defacto with laser fuse , only R-77 was initially proposed with radar fuse ( frontal section is completely smooth ) so the absence of laser fuse from those under central pylons of the 30SM indicates they are R-77.
As ZVO mentioned R-77 did also come with laser fuse so if all missiles had laser fuse the only reliable differentiating factor would be to look at the fairing around the grid fins.

The R-77-1 is available in two versions with a different fuse

What information is wrong here?
For Ziggy, the original F-15 model 199B configuration with ventrals.

have any data on CY-30CM with Irbs-E?
The Irbis-E radar exists on the Su-30SM2
I don’t have photos, but I definitely saw information about it
In this case if both planes got almost equal characteristics what is the point of producing Su-30SM2 and Su-35S simultaneously?
I think there are reasons for this that I don’t know about.
Why just don’t unificate them in engines, radar and etc? And produce only one plane in single and twin seat version.
You would have to unificate factories at first. Su-35 is KnAAZ, Su-30 is Irkut. If just drop Su-30 production, Su-35 production won’t increase.

Is it correct that SU-33 never got R-77?
