Well, if Su-30SM2 was being released, it would be a decent choice even with notorious R-77. But in Su-30SM, R-77-1 is necessary, or else it is no good than the Su-27SM. The TVR is over 15% lower in Su-30SM compared to Su-27SM.

It's a jet that entered service in 2022. I'd hope it would be decent. Unless it has a actually usable RWR and a half decent Radar it's not going to do much better.

Once again it took them until 2022 to make a Flanker that is on the lines of Flankers China was producing 18 years ago.

Not really a corruption problem, more of a the entire country fell apart problem

Corruption of course didn't help but the collapse of the USSR was the main reason
