Janes understands that Malaysia and Indonesia are looking to procure air-launched variants of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile to arm their Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets.
Hopefully its technically possible.
@Zapper does all Flanker variant can carry it? Regarding the aircraft structure and pods.
Might make sense to give the Su-30s some strike capabilities. Maybe for surprise attacks from long range with targeting data supplied by drones? Su-30 doesn't have the EW capabilities of Rafale and it has a big RCS so can only be used in certain situations.

I still rather the Su-30 be gradually phased out. Operating both Western and Russian aircraft brings many logistic challenges. Many Western munitions can be used across American, Korean and even French aircraft while for Russian Su-30 you need a completely different supply chain which is inefficient.
