Mig29M2

Saw ‘John Nicol Flies’ on Wings the other night. He went up in a 2 seat Mig29M2. So far as I know it has a full authority digital flight control system, retractable inflight refueling system, a reprofiled cockpit (similar to the two seat SU27 I thought with outstanding crew visibility) and new for Mig29 trainers, it was fitted with a radar making it fully combat capable. The pilot said the radar was also new but we didn’t get a good look at the cockpit. Can anybody tell me more about this aircraft? I know it has a greater stores capacity due to 4 pylons under each wing. Does it have a ‘glass cockpit?’ HOTAS, FADEC etc? Have the engines been uprated at all. Has anybody ordered it and is the Russian Air Force going to procure it? Is there a single seat version?
