How good is Russian new fighter super Sukhoi Su 30SM2

the Su-30 heavyweight fighter has been by far the most successful derivative of the Soviet Su-27 Flanker air superiority platform on world export markets, with over 550 having been sold abroad and the Russian Air Force and Navy themselves having acquired close to 150 since 2009. The fighter adapted the Su-27 airframe to provide a much higher endurance, new avionics better suited to precision air to ground anti shipping missions, and a second seat as its standard configuration to accommodate a weapons systems officer. The Su-30 was for over a decade in production in parallel at two factories - the plants at Irkutsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur - the latter which ceased production at the end of the 2000s to begin manufacturing the more specialised Su-35 air superiority fighter. Irkutsk continues to produce advanced Su-30 variants which incorporate a range of technologies first developed for the Su-35 and Su-37 in the 1990s, providing far superiority capabilities for air to air combat than the original Su-30 including thrust vectoring engines.
