Read that the new upgraded Su-30SM2 will share engines, radars and other devices from the Su-35S making them more compatible and simplify logistics / repairs. They will in effect become the 2-seat version of the Su-35. Plans are that over time all the Su-30SM's will be brought up to SM2 standards.
Initially the Su-35s systems were untested and immature, but were also related to things developed for the Su-57... now that they have operational experience with the Su-35, including in Syria, then it just makes sense to fit that same equipment to all Flanker type fighter bombers.
The Su-34 stuff is probably different enough to warrant its own upgrade but some things for the Su-35 could certainly be used but it will need its own upgrades of other unique things like the radar for example.
This means despite having various versions of upgraded Su-27s, Su-30s, Su-35s, and Su-34s, they are going to end up with essentially a single (35) and two seat (30) fighter/medium strike aircraft and a medium strike (34), plus the stealth pair of Su-57 and S-70.

Another su-35S will remain in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the 23rd Tallinn fighter aviation regiment.

With the su-57 all their tactics and strategies/air combat philosophy will need to be reconsidered.
Before they had su-35/30 and now they have stealthy su-57 controlling s-70, su-35 and su-30 which will also control new drones. They will also use datalink for controlling missiles launched by other aircraft...
So the research squadrons will have thrir hands full the next 10 years.

It's an old video, but it shows a maneuver that even I doubted was real at first
...Until I saw it with my own eyes during MAKS-2017.
So yes-Su-35 really has such maneuverability.
