why this production Su-34 number 02 without installing the ejection seats?:confused: can any one explain?
Well, sometimes you don't need an ejection seat, any old parachute pack can substitute :D
Installing ejection seats shouldn't be a big deal, assuming they aren't already installed and that picture has some kind of an optical illusion about it.

The 02 wasn't entirely completed during the introduction ceremony. Except for missing seats I also can remember uncompleted tail spine, replaced by some kind of dummy tube.

Oh yes, I will never forget the piece of drain-pipe and tape, just what you want on a $50 million dollar strike plane.:D
Seriously though, Like flex said, 02 was incomplete, looked like the key issue was to get it painted and polished rather than airworthy.
