https://eurasiantimes.com/russia-gets-cutting-edge-su-30-sm2-fighters-with-powerful-new-radars/ REF the engines, "The initial lot of Su-30SM2 aircraft being delivered to the RuMoD does not feature the AL-41F-1S engines. According to Interfax sources, deliveries of Su-30SM2s with AL-41F-1S engines could begin no earlier than 2023." https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2022/11/28/su-30sm2-fighter-is-in-serial-production-a-new-batch-is-expected/ The initial order is going to the Baltic fleet but overall it is the intention to equip both Navy and VKS. There is already another batch on order.
