Flanker enthusiasts, I would like to ask a question: is there real-world evidence that the Su-30SM can carry the KH-38MT?
found this on the RU wt forum (it says the su30mk can use it and this variant of the su30 -MK- is from 1993, the su30sm is newer than the su30mk so should be able to use it without any problems, i think)

I saw people saying that it would have the same engine as the Su27SM, is that true? Nonetheless, i am loving this aircraft.
No Su-30SM only use AL-31FP
As i know IRL early Su-27SM also used AL-31F, which is same by thrust
What is the empty weight of the Su-30SM right now?
18.4t according to the datamine
Seems to be accurate then
Su-30MKI is also 18.4 tons empty
@ron_2303 did a bug report about the 3D inaccuracies of the su30sm, might be good idea to also include this (the wrong tail and flaperons)
The size of the flaperon is not correct

Literally spend zero effort in modeling lol
It, honestly, so weird that 30SM having this modeling issues while same Su-33, for isntance, have IIRC correctly modeled area around it canards and wings
(and a screenshot by BBCRF of Su-30SM on dev for comparison)
Poor QC/QA.
