*'''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]] ? -- [[Special:Contributions/70.24.251.208|70.24.251.208]] ([[User talk:70.24.251.208|talk]]) 04:08, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

:*Yes, I was contemplating merging all the articles about the export variants; however, the Su-30MKI and its derivatives and the Su-30MKK and theirs are significantly different from one another. The former have thrust-vectoring nozzles and canards, and are produced by Irkut and HAL, while the other are produced by KnAAPO. 21:33, 21 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
