The range of 1050 km, the range of 3000 km. Fuel consumption 2.89 kg / km

10,460 kg (equipment) + 100 kg (pilot) + 4700 kg (fuel) + 740 kg (4 Meteor) + 448 kg (4 MICA) + 4125 kg (3 EFT, 5295 kg of fuel) = 20 573 kg, the total weight of fuel 4700 kg + 5295 kg = 9995 kg.
The range of 1155 km, the range of 3300 km. Fuel consumption of 3 kg / km

Ferry configuration:
10,460 kg (equipment) + 100 kg (pilot) + 4700 kg (fuel) + 2750 kg (2 EFT, 2200 kg of fuel) + 4125 kg (3 EFT, 5295 kg of fuel) = 22,135 kg. fuel weight 4700 kg + 2200 kg + 5295 kg = 12,195 kg
Flight range of 4,000 km. Fuel consumption of 3 kg / km

In the hands of the pilots with the same level of training

We compare heavy fighter 2008, with a light fighter in 1986, what do you expect?
Rafale has only one advantage in air combat, the pilots of the aircraft have killed people, first in Libya, now in Mali. The Su-35 pilots still did not kill anyone.

Mathematics is the same for all, and for Russian and Europeans

You ignore it’s a detail: with CFTs the F 15 E still carry 11.5 t. of weapons. And it carry this load for 1000 Nmiles. Can you name something similiar?

Stop talking nonsense!
Weapon weight does not exceed 6000 kg, usually not more than 4800 kg.
Maximum range, unarmed – 3900 km. (15 613 kg of fuel)
Action radius 3,900 km * 0.35 = 1365 km. This range, of course, without weapons, in optimal conditions.

So why on earth do the Russians nowadays call Voronezh-B Балтимор/Baltimor? Is there any historical reason for this? Was it coined recently, for fun? Or is the name completely unrelated to the Irish and English ones?

Meaning of the word in modern Russian, is not obvious. I would translate it as the “Dance of Death”. “Baltimore” – radio call sign of the airfield “Voronezh-B”

Well US/China are relatively less in Mediterranean than other places. it seem real threat is from Middleast

If I understand you correctly.
Russian is not interested in “other places.” Russian Black Sea Fleet must have access to the Mediterranean Sea, this duty squadron based there.
The reason: U.S. aircraft carrier can bomb south of Russia, not entering into the Black Sea
