Merge with Sukhoi Su-30MKI

According to this article by RIA Novosti, the Su-30 is divided into two families, the Su-30MKI, ordered by India, Malaysia, and Algeria, and the Su-30MKK/Su-30MK2, bought by China, Venezuela, Indonesia, Uganda, and Vietnam. In that case, this article should be merged with the Su-30MKI, to consolidate WP's coverage of the confusing Su-30 family. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 03:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Oppose': It is used by Malaysia and is lengthy enough to warrant its own article. Being of the same family, (that too by just one article) does not mean it needs to be merged. Anir1uph (talk) 13:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Merge: With only five paragraphs, most of which are duplicates of details covered by the MKI article, there seems very little reason to keep a seperate article on this variant if not even the official sources sub-divide to this extent. Kyteto (talk) 18:32, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

• Comment is there a need for separate type articles apart from the main article Sukhoi Su-30, say with a subarticle Sukhoi Su-30 variants --- (and including Sukhoi Su-30MKM/Sukhoi Su-30MKI/Sukhoi Su-30MKK/ etc ) or if there is a need, shouldn't all the export versions converge at Sukhoi Su-30K ? -- 70.24.251.208 (talk) 04:08, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
