2. Su 30 MKI
3. Dassault Rafale
4. Eurofighter Typhoon
5. F18 Super hornet
6. F15 Strike Eagle
7. F16 (dont know the block numbers, some latest block 52 or 60 or whatever)

J-10,honestly i don't know much about it. Also i believe that j 10's real life performance data ,i.e,videos,reports,specs etc aren't available over net. Thus i ruled j 10 out.

Gripen is yet to prove itself i believe.

+1, All the anlysis about J10 is only available from chinese forums, even western analyst quote chinese forums. Chinese never bring j10, which is operational in large numbers to any international airshows. I have never seen it perform a complete vertical loop.

For CAS bring in the A-10.

Yes as of now , but when J31 will be matured , it might be available at very low cost around $30 million a piece which would be too cheap after a decade . It might not carry heavier equipment , but can carry CAS weapons and 2 missiles for its defence with good maneuverability and the aircraft being stealth will be detected very late than other CAS aircrafts . Its low cost and features makes it a better aircraft to support ground troops . A wild and sensible guess with the available knowledge of J31

Su-35BM Strange Maneuver

Su-30MKM doing strange maneuver ??? - YouTube

There is nothing special about these moves. They are the result of the 3-D vector thrust engine. These moves however are not that useful in combat and the aircraft often loses altitude doing them, making them vulnerable. Most aircraft with 3D vector thrust engines would be able to pull something similar.

 

[HeinzG]

Going for 4th and 4.5th gens. and lower only

1) SU-35BM
2) SU-30 and it's derivatives/Eurofighter/Rafale

Airsuperiority - F22
Strike Mission - F35
MultiRole - FGFA
Electronic - E/A18G
Surveillance - Mig31
Interception - Mig1.44
Maritime - Super Su30MKI
CAS - J31
Nuclear - AMCA
Anti Terror - Jf-17

For CAS bring in the A-10.

some more advice.

B-2 for air superiority.

and SR-71 for strategic bombing.

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Su-35 can rape anything that flies. Rafale is a multirole fighter, more in the league of the F-16/-F/A-18 etc

But India rejected Su 35 for the fact that the next update for su 30 mki will contain more or less the same components in Su 35.
Moreover Super Sukhoi MKI will be more advanced with AESA radar. But yes, its still a development project.
