Azerbaijan Air Force representatives have visited the manufacturing plants where Su-35 and MiG-35 are produced (KnAAPO and Lukhovitsy). During the visit Azerbaijani pilots had the opportunity to test a MiG-35.
Azerbaijan is looking to replace the 16 MiG-29s acquired in Ukraine (14 9.12 and 2 9.51 UB). According to the Russian press it is interested in acquiring Su-57. I guess chances of MiG-35 are rather small because archrival Armenia just bought Su-30SM, thus a more advanced type is probably sought.

Note that in the original article it does not mention IAPO, which produced Su-30SM. Some of the photos show the delegation at this factory.
