Are there any Flanker variants flying with the Pero antennae?

Well thats the question, I know that the Su-27SM uses the N001VEP and the that the SKM variant uses a slightly different version with the same designation. Apparently the Pero was offered to China for the Su-30MKK3 but that they chose the Phazotron Zhuk-MSE before the entire project was canned. I have never found a reference to any flanker flying with the Pero which I find curious as you can supposedly just plug it into an existing N001 set thus making it a fairly effective and cheap upgrade.?

Can anybody help?

Here is a link to the Pero antennae- http://www.niip.info/main.php?page=raz_sky_pero

Thanks in advance sealordlawrence.

Edit: One of the advantages of the Pero over the basic N001VEP is that the former can engage 6 air targets and 4 surface targets compared to 4 and 2 respectively for the latter.
