Russia-China: It was not worth stealing our deck fighter. NI version
American magazine The National Interest writes about how Russia reacts to problems with the Chinese deck aviation. Omitting the fact that Russia and itself are not okay, not only with carrier-based aircraft, but also with their carriers, the author of the material in NI Michael Peck states that "Russia is not very upset about the failures with the Chinese J-15 "
The author declares the following:
It should be clarified here that the J-15 was indeed produced without a license from the Sukhoi company. The fact is that the Chinese at one time acquired one of the first Su-33 prototypes from Ukraine, after which they scrupulously studied, eventually deciding that they could use the technology to manufacture their own aircraft. And the acquisition from Ukraine took place after the contract with Russia was terminated. It is officially considered that it was Moscow that at that time refused to supply Su-33 to China in order to “not transfer technologies”.
The first successful landing of the J-15 on the deck of the Liaoning aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy was carried out in 2012 year.
In Russia, as noted by NI, it was considered that the Chinese are using the technology of the Sukhoi company illegally.
The question is, where does NI get the information that Chinese copies of Russian Su-33 are “fighting one after another”. According to official figures, the J-15 incident occurred only once - in August 2017. Then the plane in the air collided with a flock of birds, which led to the ignition of the engine. However, the pilot was able to land the car.
And this is the conclusion of the author in the American journal, from which it becomes clear to what he initially tended:
And the final result of Peck:
The author declares the following:
In China, these planes are fighting one after another, but Russia was hardly upset, because China at one time created an unlicensed copy of the Su-33 Russian (Soviet) aircraft.

It should be noted here that the Soviet Union and modern Russia also “adopted” Western technologies without the consent of the owners - and this applied to everything from the atomic bomb to the Shuttle and video games. In general, this is a dubious achievement: the nation signs its inability to implement its own technologies.
And the final result of Peck:
If we consider that now the Chinese have acquired the same habit, this can be seen as universal justice.
