    Su-37 vs Su-30MKI

    Hi, i am wondering which one is better. I have heard a lot of people claiming that the Su-37 is better than the MKI...but based on the following website, the MKI is much better.

    http://vayu-sena.tripod.com/info-su30mki.html


    I personally feel that hte Su-30MKI is much better than the 37 for the following reasons, but people in some other forums have disagreed with me on these.


    Su-30MKI has:

    Much better radars(has a nose mounted Israeli radar and it has the same radar as the Su-37 mounted in the rear).
    Much better avionics.
    Much better cockpit and cockpit interface.
    3d TVC while the Su-37 only has 2d tvc
    Stronger airframe(higher percentage of composites)
    Basically, the Su-30MKI has every feature of the Su-37 and much more.

    What do you guys think? Is the site provided above correct?

    the MKI dsnt have an israeli radar . its still N 011M Bars but with better transcievers & newer & more powerful radar computer( made in india).
    The big edge with MKI is that its in production while not a single peice of SU37 is delivered to any AF in the world.

    Actually u cannot even call the MKI TVC to be pure 3D. it just can move along two axis. The pure 3TVC aircraft is yet to be seen in production. (is there any pure 3D TVC nozzle tested ??) ..
    from what i read (years ago.. ) SU37 contained only a single axis TVC. Can u please verify it for me with a link.

    But su-37 is a MR fighter, while our mki is primarily air def fighter.
    EAST OR WEST INDIA IS THE BEST!!!

    MKI vs Su-37, the edge goes to the MKI due to 2 pilots I guess, both planes are quite similar in all respects. The latest tech of Su-37 was used on the MKI afterall. Its almost the same bird.

    Wasn't a lot of the tech from the Su-37 upgraded or repalced with better tech before going into the Su-30MKI?

    it surely was. Futhermore a lot did come from non russian sources too(in cases where russian tech wasnt good nough)..
    the comparison of the two planes is itself not quite right as one is in production for years now while other one is nowhere near production.

    Yeah, i think the Su-37 was only a tech demonstrator.
