From what I understand at least for Russia the focus would be on air superiority, unlike the F-35 is more geared towards ground attack, albeit being still well capable in the air to air.
India might have more interest in the air to ground role for their variant though, with most of theirs being built in two seats configuration optimized for such role,or so I have heard.
However I am sure there are more qualified people around for such matter, planes are really not my cup of tea.
