No It doesn't... It can be only used on Su30MKI, Su35, and Su34... I don't know about Malaysian MKM or Algerian MKA but other Su30 and 27 versions cannot have them due to inferior engines and small generators.

You find that irony while there has been 66 pages and as many as 1000 posts regarding this... that's the amount of understanding you have.
And Su30MKI would detect as well as track the clean JF-17 Beyond 200km.
With much larger scan area and more powerful aswell as sophisticated EW are plus points of MKI other than its huge radar.
In absence Saab Eri eye AEW&C aircraft it is highly likely that Su30 won't even allow JF-17 gets their radar scan on itself.
The radar of Su30 is Phased array how many times I have to repeat that other than advantages of higher beam steering agility, much faster scan rate and much higher scan area along with greater targets tracked it also has high anti-jamming capabilities and Low probability of Intercept... by the time the JF-17 radar identifies the signal from MKI its radar would've already changed them and a new set of signal remains to be wondered about... for the KLJ-7 processor.
I wish your air force thinks about it the same way... about your current capabilities.
The reality doesn't change.
Bison scored Kills on F-15block 52 even now.... and specially with IAF pilots getting a good time with the experienced pilots of Singapore air force(who I guess have had far more hours on F-16 than what PAF pilots have had) and their latest block52 aircrafts... providing a good time for Russian, domestic, Israeli and another country(I would not name that)'s jammers a good work out and evaluation time.
While you and according to you your air force feel they are full equipped and more than capable.
Here's the message by one of the squadrons to your PAF.
I never said escorted.... forced back is not being escorted may be in the madarsa version of English but not for rest of the world.
Out of which only 13 were BVR shots accounting for only 6 kills.
There hasn't been any incident of R-77 fired in combat and you already talking about multiple launches.
Although there was the incident where multiple launches of R-27 by Su27 killed a Mig29.
And where does this come from ?... your local madarsa news...
Consider this a polite one, discuss the topic in hand instead of religious abuse or you will be under the crush next time.
According to Crobato in 2002....
"The Su-30MK ECM system comprises an electronic intelligence (ELINT) system, 50-mm chaff and flare dispensers in the rear fuselage with a total of 96 charges and two wingtip pod-mounted active jammers.
The aircraft weapons includes a cannon mount, missiles, rockets and bomb ordnance.
The cannon mount includes a built-in GSh-301 30-mm automatic single-barrel high-rate-of-fire cannon. It is housed inside the starboard wing leading-edge root extension (LERX). Its ammunition load is 150 rounds. Missiles, rockets and bombs are mounted on launchers, in launching pods and on beam racks including multiple racks attached to 12 hardpoints.
The Su-30MK can carry up to six R-27R1 (ER1) air-to-air medium-range missiles with semi-active radar homers, two R-27T1 (R-27ET1) heatseeking medium-range missiles, up to six RVV-AE medium-range active radar-homing missiles and up to six R-73E short-range heatseeking missiles.
The air-to-surface guided weaponry of the Su-30MK aircraft consists of 6 Kh-31P passive radar-homing anti-radiation missiles, 6 Kh-31A anti-ship active radar-homing missiles, 6 Kh-29T (TE) TV-homing missiles or Kh-29L semi-active laser homing missiles, 2 Kh-59ME TV-command guidance medium-range missiles (to fire the Kh-59ME missiles the aircraft must be equipped with the APK-9E weapon control pod) as well as 6 KAB-500Kr and 3 KAB-1500Kr TV-homing bombs.
The maximum weight of the unguided air-to-surface weapons carried by the Su-30MK totals 8,000 kg. It includes 8 500-kg bombs or ZB-500-type incendiary canisters, 28 250-kg bombs, 32 100-kg bombs, as well as 80 S-8 rockets in four B-8M1 pods, 20 S-13 rockets in four B-13L pods or four S-25-OFM rockets in O-25 launchers.
