According to the military information I've gotten:

# The frontal RCS of the fighters:
1. Su-30MK: 10.0~15.0 m2+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 3.0 m2
3. MIG-29S: 5.0 m2
4. MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 1.0~1.2 m2
5. F-16 series: 1.0~1.2 m2

# The air-to-air detection capability of the fighter's radar:
1. AN/APG-68 V5 (F-16C/D): 75 ~ 85 km for RCS = 5 m2 target
2. AN/APG-68 V9 (F-16 I): 95 ~ 110 km for RCS = 5 m2 target
3. AN/APG-80 (F-16 E/F): 130 ~ 160 km for RCS = 5 m2 target
4. NO-11M (Su-30MKI): 200 ~ 250 km for RCS = 10 m2 target
5. ZHUK-ME (MIG-29SMT): 120 km for RCS = 3 m2 target


According to the formula:

a. The maximal detection range for F-16C/D (AN/APG-68V5) to other fighters in head to head engagement:
1. Su-30MK: 90 ~ 100 km+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 65 ~ 75 km
3. MIG-29S: 75 ~ 85 km
4. F-16 and MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 50 ~ 60 km

b. The maximal detection range for F-16I (AN/APG-68V9) to other fighters in head to head engagement:
1. Su-30MK: 115 ~ 130 km+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 85 ~ 100 km
3. MIG-29S: 95 ~ 110 km
4. F-16 and MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 65 ~ 80 km

c. The maximal detection range for F-16E/F (AN/APG-80) to other fighters in head to head engagement:
1. Su-30MK: 155 ~ 190 km+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 115 ~ 140 km
3. MIG-29S: 130 ~ 160 km
4. F-16 and MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 85 ~ 115 km

d. The maximal detection range for Su-30MKI (NO-11M) to other fighters in head to head engagement:
1. Su-30MK: 200 ~ 250 km+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 150 ~ 185 km
3. MIG-29S: 170 ~ 210 km
4. F-16 and MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 130 ~ 175 km

e. The maximal detection range for MIG-29SMT (ZHUK-ME) to other fighters in head to head engagement:
1. Su-30MK: 160 km+
2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 120 km
3. MIG-29S: 135 km
4. F-16 and MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 90 ~ 95 km

about N011M's detection range.. a general google gives out 400km detection range for 20 sq m RCS ships.. i.e a 336 km range for a 10 sq m target. Please recheck your figures for the same.
