Trashed is one thing, going totally off topic is another!

IIRC the rd-93 is for installation in single engine fighters.

Isn't the latest MiG-29s powered by RD-93s?

The SU-30MKK was the only choice for PLAAF. The Indians had choice of French and Isreali avonics. China didn't have the option. Those avonics make the biggest difference.

hmm, the Malaysians are getting su-30mkm (similar to su-30mki) and the Algerians are too. Trust me, it's not so exclusive.

I reffered to China not Malasia or Algeria. I know Malasia is getting the MKM which will use much of the same avonics and go to India for upgrades.

honestly, i would believe china has a conderable more amount of experince than malaysia, india, and algeria, which all took the coolest looking toy rather than think for future upgrades and maintenance.

I meant if China really wanted something like su-30mki, it would probably get it. I'm pretty sure the Russians were offering su-35s to China back in the days. Remember, it was the first country to get su-27. But China seems more interested in getting something that is better at ground strikes, which didn't turn out to be true unfortunately.
