2km is alot of difference when you combined it with higher speed. Rafale with Meteor will be limited to Mach 1.6 at most. Su-35 will go all the way past Mach 2. 4 Meteor will add considerable drag to Rafale platform. so it will have less fuel to use afterburner.
Meteor does not have much longer range that is only your opinion not independent fact.
no in many page before it have been explained , su-35 carry can go up to M2.35 (max speed) with missiles on pylons 5,6,7,8. Any missile on pylons 3,4 will reduce top speed to M2.2. any additional missiles in pylons 1,2,9,10 will reduce max speed to M1.7
su-35 is bigger than rafale => less affected by carry weapon but meteor is smaller than RVV-BD => less drag
chinese missiles producer say meteor have max range = 160 km , also meteor design was R-77M which was rated as having max range = 160 km ( MBDA bought that design ), it’s range quote by MBDA is over 100 km but not specific , and as been explained before ramjet missiles tend to have equal range to normal missiles having twice the weight
I dont see anwhere 1sqm standard?
L-band AESA you can put on fighter also.

this wing L band radar on su-35 have very very low power , and processing ability compared to what on the AWACs
btw you can find about the standard on google
so missiles have more drag than raised cockpit, more weight, 15% less powerfull engines. as i said your not good in estimation.
Su-30 with Kh-31 missiles (50% heavier than RVV-BD) and wingtip pod. i dobut it is creating that much drag.
we are talking about 5 missiles + pylon , and btw the KH-31 in your pic in carry in the wing station not wing tip like you said in previous post
