Technologywise both aircrafts are quite same .....Airframe, radar and engine have similarities. Avionics are different coz both have different roles for their countries ((China) Su-30MKK/MK2, (India) Su-30 MKI).

They look same same from outside ,but a closer look shows that they are very different inside ! MKI has the upper hand in all areas ! :)

Su-30MKK :china:

Rate of climb: > 305 m/s

+ jointly developed by Russia and China

+ M400 reconnaissance pod developed by china be used to detect the blind spot behind the aircraft to provide targeting information for rearward-firing air-to-air missiles, but this capability has not been utilized by the Chinese yet.

Crew: 2

Unit cost: US $40 million

Max takeoff weight: 38,800 kg (85,600 lb)

Powerplant: 2× Lyulka AL-31FP turbofans with thrust vectoring, 131 kN (29,449 lbf) each

Maximum speed: Mach 2.35

Radar: N011M Bars (Panther) (PESA)

Role: Multi-role aircraft

Range: 5,000 km and 8,000 km at a cruise height of 11 to 13 km with air refueling system

Thrust/weight: 1.07 (at loaded weight & 1.15 with 50% fuel)

Rate of climb: > 355 m/s

+ canard increases the aircraft lifting ability and allow high angle-of-attack (AoA)

+ avionics sourced from Russia, France, Israel and India

+ radar range of 60 km in the rear hemisphere

+ N011M has a 350 km search range and a maximum 200 km tracking range The radar can track 15 air targets and engage four simultaneously. These targets can even include cruise missiles and motionless helicopters. The Su-30MKI can function as a mini-AWACS as a director or command post for other aircraft. The target co-ordinates can be transferred automatically to at least four other aircraft. The radar can detect ground targets such as tanks at 40–50 km.

+ A modified Su-30MKI is being used to carry BrahMos cruise missiles with 300 km.

+N011M can function in air-to-air and air-to-land/sea mode simultaneously while being tied into a high-precision laser-inertial or GPS navigation system.

Su-30 MKI has to be the best acquisition by its air force. I was wishing for IAF to induct LCAs instead of MKI. MKI along with SH will be one of the deadliest combination of 4.5 generation MRCA.
 
.
I always knew that MKI was better than MKK , but never knew MKI was far better and ''cheaper'' than MKK ! ;)

some sources claim MKI make in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) costs only $22.5 million per unit against $40 million of imported ones ! but i do have my doubts .

IAF will eventually acquire a total of 230 Su-30MKI. Out of these 90 will be made in Russia by Irkutsk Aircraft Production Association (IAPO) while the rest will be produced in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Production might be increased if necessary. HAL chairman Nalini Ranjan Mohanty has said that the Indian-built Su-30s will cost only about $22.5 million .

The Second prototype - made its first flight on March 23, 1998

This plane has a single nose wheel. This airframe was modified from the T10PU-6, which was the 2nd prototype for the Su-27PU.
