That cockpit looks like an ergonomic nightmare.
The Rooskies never have figured out ergonomics. We got to have a show-and-tell in some Djiboutian Hinds and Hips (the DJ AF ramp was next to ours) and the cockpits looked and felt like something from a Saw movie.
The latest Flanker versions, especially the export ones, have gone a long way to fixing that. The Su-30MKI/MKM cockpits are considerably better than the older ones.
