You should either check your eyes or simply do your homework … that‘s clearly an IAF Su-30MKI!
 
And what do you want to say with this link?
That's the 3D artist who made those animations.
 
A Japanese gentleman makes awesome model of IRIAF aircrafts.

This how end procuct of Saegheh-III or Kowsar-II should look like with a single Turbofan, AESA, HOTAS, FBW, HMD.

I doubt the old 23MFs would be worth anything now but with old IqAF Su-22s modernized and put back into service, I wonder whether any similar effort will be made for the 23BNs. An interesting piece of history regardless.
 
Really bad article. Though I do agree Chinese flanker copies are definitely better than most of the SU-30 variants, with the exceptions off the SU-30SM and SU-30SM2
The J-16 is superior to any Russian flanker including the SU-35.

well if the engine instead of WS-10a was WS-10b

All flankers are more or less the same. Its the same 1970s designed airframe that keeps getting marketed under different names with mid to high levels of avionics change or mild airframe changes. If Russians had F-15 they would have been calling the F-15SE as F-40 or F-45 to milk the fighter jet market with new coating. Russians have this habit.

MIG-35 is MIG-29 9.13 => MIG-29M =>MIG-29M2.
SU-27SM gave birth to the entire SU-30, 33, 34, 35, J-11, J-15, J-16 family.
MIG-27 => MIG-23BN
SU-17 =. SU-20 = SU-22
MIG-31 is MIG-25's mature product.

Before SU-57, Russia had not unvieled a new airframe for past ~40 years.

And none of them are drastically different from each other. This airframe has an elephant-sized RCS from every aspect possible and is high priced and maintenance-heavy fighter that you can't just hide in a normal-sized hardened bunker or in underground bases. Luckily it never got in an A2A combat with light weight monsters like MIG-29M, Rafale, JAS-39E, F-16Block52, F-18E/F or we would have seen it getting shot down. I would not even be surprised if SU-35S (15+ m2, ~100-120 KM track range) by any slight chance get into IRIAF and Kowsar-I (1 m2 RCS, ~90-100 KM track range) surprises it in a A2A excersize.
