Well, in a concession to suave and debonaire, we have a panel of ladies from GQ come in, and go through all your posts, particularly your personal pictures?? Forbin, I think that is one of those French words and my spellchecker, she says I got it wrong, you prolly got POM due to those Parisian runway "wing-tips" and that black suit and dark glasses you wear, kind of like the "Kingsmen"?

Su-30SM is in fact a Russsian Su-30MKI with canard, vectored thrust only difference Russian electronic replace Israeli, French also a little in MKI but have same radar a Bars N011M a little better as Phazotron N001VEP on Su-27SM3 and Su-30M2 165 km/target3 m2 vs 150, track up to 15 targets/eng 4 vs 10/4 for other but remains claearly inferior to outstanding Irbis used by the Su-35S which is much more expensive and i think for it Russian AF have buy this new Flanker.

Yes, tThe Russian Air Force uses the SU-30SM. I believe they have 39 currently as of the end of 2015. I believe they plan 60 of them.

The Russian Navy has ordered 20 SU-30SMs and taken delivery of eight of them I believe. They plan on a total of fifty.

The SU-30SM is a specialized version of the thrust-vectoring Su-30MKI and MKM variants

Apparently, the Russian Defense Ministry was impressed with the MKI's performance and initially ordered 30 Su-30SMs, which is a Russian special version of Su-30MKI for the Russian Air Force. more orders followed..

The Russian upgrades are based on Russian requirements for radar, radio communications systems, friend-or-foe identification system, ejection seats, weapons, and other systems.

The full order for 60 aircraft for the Air Force was signed in March 2012

Naval orders have followed.

Exact for order numbers.

For Navy the 8 yet delivered to Gvardeyskoye/Crimea Rgt replace Su-24M others after and new planned definitely, logic for the Rgt with Su-24M to Chernyakhovsk/Kaliningrad these Rgts have also some Su-24MR normaly remain in AF right now yes.
In AF replace Mig-29 and Navy Su-24M.

I think a naval Su-34 would have made for a nice Su-24 replacement, they're pretty much the same weight.
But maybe too much to ask for right now. The Su-30SM is a good, heavy multi-role fighter. Even though, 60 + 20 doesn't seem like a particular large number for a country like Russia.
Then again, there are still Su-34 and Tu-22M3 on the big end and I guess quite some "standard" Su-30 + legacy Su-27 & MiG-29.
