@Serpentine will the engine on su-30 be able to divert 4 time the electricity to the new radar without being tasked?

If we can get Irbis-E radars from Russians, it would still be very great, even if they don't agree with ToT for the radar.
The best choice is to buy 100-120 Su-30's most advanced upgrades available with ToT and also buy 50-100 Su-35s without ToT (if they agree with it). With the current economic situation of Russians and their stand off with Europe and U.S, they will be more than happy to have a customer buying nearly 200 aircrafts from them, so we should get as much as we can from them.

Russians currently have 2-3 squadrons of Su-35, so purchasing 50-100 Su-35, and 100-120 Su-30s(which they have about 3-4 squadron of it in service) is not what they will want. But, I fully understand your point.
About financial part of 150-200 jets, I can say that they will ask about 10-12 billion dollars, plus 2-3 more billions for required trainings, ... If IRIAF decides to use this fleet for 30-40 years, there would be about 500 million per year cost of maintenance, ... for this fleet. Some people inside Iran may not like it, as you know. But, anyway IRIAF needs to be modernized.
I'm not an expert in electricity generation in fighter jets, but if I'm not wrong, electric power in jets is provided by emergency power unit which is a gas turbine using water/hydrazine as fuel. So if there is more demand for electricity, simply a more powerful power unit can be used and since the Su-30 and Su-35 are almost the same in air frame, there wouldn't be a problem with space or fitting in a new power unit.
Again, I'm not an expert in this field, maybe others can elaborate.
Of course, but regardless of the costs, the air force needs a huge boost.
Another option is to go for fewer number of jets (Su-30 or Su-35) and wait for PAK FA to be fully operational, then we can buy a good number of them.

this is what I said from the beginning
I am not a fan on excessive spending on military but 500 million $ is peanuts for having a fist in the region to lean on. The GCC is getting bolder and bolder every day.Russians currently have 2-3 squadrons of Su-35, so purchasing 50-100 Su-35, and 100-120 Su-30s(which they have about 3-4 squadron of it in service) is not what they will want.

Even 200 su30 wont make our airforce stronger than gcc . Won't forget when we get those planes they got f-15 silent eagle and f-35I am not a fan on excessive spending on military but 500 million $ is peanuts for having a fist in the region to lean on. The GCC is getting bolder and bolder every day.
Are you sure they will get F-35? I thought it is only going to be sold to Israel?Even 200 su30 wont make our airforce stronger than gcc . Won't forget when we get those planes they got f-15 silent eagle and f-35
