Just one comment, what you label as Su-30SM2 here is in fact the Su-30MK2.
The MK2 is a slightly modified version of the original Su-30MKK Flanker G produced by KnAAPO for the PLAAF. The MK2 version introduced an anti-ship capability and was produced for the PLAN. It was also sold to Vietnam as MK2V, Venezuela as MKV and Indonesia, which also received a few MKK that were simply designated as MK.
The Su-30M2 was the domestic version of the MK2 and was produced in small quantities only (16 IIRC) and which is purely operated as an operational conversion trainer like the Su-27UB.
The Su-30SM was the domestic version of the Indian Su-30MKI Flanker H, derivates of which comprised the Su-30MKM for Malaysia and the Su-30MKA for Algeria. The Export version of the domestic Su-30SM is designated as Su-30SME and the SM2 is an improved version of the SM. The Flanker H is very different compared to the Flanker G and build by IAPO.
I think that each name is above its picture, so there is not a Su-30SM2 picture. Su-30SM2 can be easily identified from Su-30SM because the first has two dorsal antennas, one new antenna under cockpit and leading edge of wings painted white https://twitter.com/La_souris_DA/status/1598676065282580484?t=itzjD0G0QNP-_BEC2pdcmw&s=19
