An Israeli Su-30MK?

What would be your vesion of the the Su-30MK surface attack version suited with Israeli weapons and/or avionics? If you think that Israeli technology is not suited best for this aircraft what about a western version outfitted with western avionics and weapons. Another idea that would generate more thought would be if your were an employee for Sukhoi and you work in the marketing deparment and you were givem green light for this product who would market it? Would you keep basic elements of Russian technology already intergrated into the aircraft and use Western weapons to attract customers? Brazil, Phillipines, Egypt..?
If I was an employee for Sukhoi and I was assign to market this aircraft say….Brazil, I would keep those engiines, obviously, I would intergrate a combination of Israeli and Russian avionics. My marketing staregy is to concentrate on weapons(dont ask me why I just love these things). I would keep the Russian Bars radar and have Elta establish a new computerized infrastructure. As for weapons I would intergrate the popeye missile, Python 5, laser guided bombs by IAI, BANG or AASM by sagem, maybe intergrate the Exocet and Storm Shadow and keep the Russian AS-18 (Kh-59) Kazoo missile.
My plan will probably suck in the long run and I’ll never get an order but that’s my 2 cents worth. What weapon and avionics combiantion would you use on the Su-30MK and why? Would you suggest a cosmetic change or a complete drastic change and solely use the “MK” as a paltform and make it a “new” aircraft.
