Here is something VERY interesting!

Potential operators
South Korea was viewed in the early stages as a potential operator. Russia launched its Su-35 bid for South Korea's fighter procurement programme at the 1996 Seoul Air Show, and included the Su-37 in the proposal as well. For the bid, the proposed Su-35 would have used both a phased grid radar and AL-31FP vectoring-thrust engines; the aircraft would have been assembled in South Korea. The contract, worth roughly $5 billion, may have been partially financed through a debt reduction deal on money owed by Russia to South Korea.[48] In the end, the F-15K was chosen.[49]
Both the Brazilian Air Force, and Venezuelan Air Force have expressed interest in purchasing Su-35s to replace older aircraft.[50] On 23 May 2006, it was reported that Venezuela planned to purchase dozens of Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, and as many as 100 T-90 tanks; an order for 24 Su-35s was placed in October 2008.[51][52] The Su-35 participated in Brazil's F-X and F-X2 contests, the decision of which has been delayed several times.[53][54] In October 2009, Anatoly Isaikin, general director of Rosoboronexport, declared that the company would provide 120 fighters and a full technology transfer deal to Brazil.[55] In mid-2008, the Brazilian Air Force selected three finalists, none of them the Su-35,[56] however in January 2011, President Dilma Rousseff again postponed the acquisition.[57]
Since the early 1990s, an extensive sales arrangement of the Su-35 to China has been discussed; in 1995 Sukhoi officials announced their proposal to co-produce the Su-35 with China, on the condition that China agreed to purchase 120 aircraft.[58] However it has been alleged that the Russian Foreign Ministry had blocked both the sale of the Su-35 and Tupolev Tu-22M bombers over concerns regarding the arrangements surrounding Chinese production of the base Su-27.[59] In November 2010, it was reported that Rosoboronexport was ready to hold talks with China on the sale of Su-35 fighters.[60][61] In 2012, Russia and China are reported to be close to signing a contract for 48 Su-35 fighters.
According to the report, the only remaining obstacle is Moscows demand that Beijing guarantee proper licensing for the production of Su-35s.[62]
In July 2008, Russia offered the Su-35 for sale to India, Malaysia and Algeria.[63] In late 2010, Libya was expected to sign a contract for the purchase of 12 Su-35s.[64][65] The civil war in Libya and the resulting military intervention caused Rosoboronexport to lose $4 billion in arranged contracts, including the Su-35.[66] Sukhoi approached US-aligned Australia in 2002, offering Su-30 family aircraft, and the Su-35 targeted as the prime "export" fighter.[67][68] Since 2008, other nations in the region have either acquired the Su-30 or exhibited interest in the Su-35 with Australia concerned that the RAAF F-35 will be "overmatched" if the Su-35 becomes the dominant opposition.[69]
Indonesia is also interested in the Su-35BM as a replacement for its F-5E/Fs.[70] Vietnam is also interested in the Su-35BM as a replacement for its Su-30s
