It would be interesting to see the results of Su-30MKI and Typhoon match up when the Indian Su-30 get the Super Sukhoi upgrades with Zhuk AESA, next generation long range BVR and stealth characteristic upgrade package.

It would still be about the same. The SU-30 can’t undo the disadvantages caused by it’s significantly larger dimensions (something shared with the F-15) or it’s lower thrust-weight ratio compared to the newer and lighter Typhoon.
