Sadly this is no longer true, for example Su30MKIs were better than the planes used for domestic customers (such as Su27SM), Su30SM is a direct derivative of the MKI.

The first plane that was procured by domestic customers that was better than the MKI was the Su35S.

Thus if we are looking into recent sales or into future procurement scenarios, T10 series are different from the Soviet MiG29 exports for example.
