Before it was the Su-35 which had 3 MFDs (two on the front, one on the left hand side of Russian Origin) with a N011 radar.
then comes the Su-37 which had 4 Sextant MFDS of French origin in the front arranged in a T shape, with side stick controller and N011M radar.
The Su-30MKI features new cockpit idication system, a newer high resolution colour MFD of French origin (3 in the front cockpit all on the front dash, with 4 on the back) and an Israeli HUD and also using an N011M.
Next is the redesign of the Su-37 which is re-engined with a non thrust vectoring engine, and the 4 french MFDS are erplaced with 3 Ramenskoye MFDs arranged similarly to the Su-35, to on the front, and one on the left side. Its rather shocking to see them revert from 4 back to 3, however each individual MFD is larger than the sextant one used by the last 37 and MKI. The HUD is still rather “old” looking and does not look as advance as the MKI’s HUD.
supposedly the Su-35UB has something even newer and more advanced..
