Read an interesting report on the RuFAF "Aviadarts 2021" competition. The Su-30SM won the crown in the fighter category, very impressive feat. The two person crew philosophy, the super maneuverability, massive range and powerful sensors make for a sound platform.
Some random browsing around on...

Regarding French help for weapons integration on Russian platforms(Or Vice versa), I doubt it. Egypt doing the same domestically is my bet as they have the know-how and know-why.
The Al Tariq integration would be straight forward, IMO, especially on common platforms(Vipers{?} and Mirages)
One of the reasons why the Mirage-2000s are just great, integration of weapons are relatively easier and no End User agreement headaches
For the IAF as well the Mirages were the Gold Standard as far as mission availability/A2A capability etc are concerned
The Tejas to this day is benchmarked...

Watching some old Republic Day parades
Caught the glimpse of the older Tatra high mobility truck from 1989, no wonder they are liked so much

T-55s and Vijayantas were there in number but the real show was the "Combat Team" spearheaded...
