I think that the MiG-35, Su-30 MKK3 and Su-35 BM and the future Su-37s are more capable with cheaper price and with the promise of cheaper operating in future and the reliability on russian that they won't force an embargo on any buyers and also the technology that they are offering isn't cheap in the western market.
I agree, but remember that the MiG-35, Su-30 MKK3 and Su-35 BM are primarily air-superiority fighters with secondary ground attack abilities (although MiG-35 is admittedly more multi-role), whereas the F-35 is a light strike fighter with secondary air-to-air capabilities. Moreover, I thought the Su-37 was only a technology demonstrator.
