150 rounds of 30mm in an "attack" aircraft?

No A-10 this!

Misprint, misdirection or they expect to rely on air to mud missiles, of which they can carry only so many...

That’s the “standard” load for the SU-27 and Mig-29 variants (the 34 is derived from the SU-27). European fighters also carry a similar number for their 27mm and 30mm guns.

The F-35A’s internal gun has only 182 rounds.

I doubt it is similar to an SU-25/A-10 role. Probably more like an F-15 Strike Eagle.
