Default RE: 3D with a full scale Jet!!

Um guys hate to break it to you, the Su-30 has been in service since the mid 1990s (1996 to be exact). The F-22 beats the Su-30 in just about every possible peformance rating. The Su-35 cannot really be counted as a combat aircraft as there are only five built, with four of them in "service". The Su-37 only had two built and have only been used to show the aircraft off to perspective buyers.
