the Su27SM has a improved N-001V radar not Bars. It has a russian glass cockpit not a western equipped one.
the malaysian MKM, the MKI and MKK2-3 will remain the best of
the in-service Flankers for a while. no canards and TVC either.
Its a MLU. they got rid of the old soviet style cockpit which is a
major good step.
But all the flanker still suffer from same lack of cheap, short range
PGMs and high quality lasing pod the western a/c have.
Litening on MKI and perhaps Damocles on MKM will again be
the leading edge on flankers when they are introduced. israel has a contract
to integrate litening and their LGB kits into MKI.
