Probably but in limited numbers, to be used for training of pilots for PAK-FA family like SU-30M2 is for modern T10 family fighters.
But Su-30SM2 are being used as combat multi-role fighters...
SU30M2 has main role of providing training for modernised SU-27SM squadrons and preparation for SU30SM. But sure they still have kept their combat capabilities. I expect same to be with possible two seater on PAK-FA platform.
ooops apologies I meant Su-30SM (not SM2) ...but do you think that 2 seater PAK -FA will be added as fully pledged combat aircraft.
