Russia has completed the delivery of Su-35 for the Chinese Air Force

Russia has completed deliveries to China of Su-35 multi-role fighters, the last aircraft within the framework of the agreement have been sent to the customer, Interfax reports, citing a source closely familiar with the situation. The contract will be fully implemented in 2020, as the contract includes not only the delivery of aircraft.

As previously reported, under the contract concluded in 2015, China acquired the 24 Russian multifunctional Su-35 fighter for 2,5 billion dollars. Deliveries began in 2016, when the Chinese Air Force received the first four fighters. Then in 2017, Russia delivered 10 new cars, and ten more planes in 2018, thus completing deliveries. It is noted that China has become the first foreign buyer Su-35.

The acquisition of Russian fighters was the reason why Washington imposed sanctions against Beijing. In China, the introduction of restrictive measures reacted even closer cooperation with Russia in the field of trade weapons and MIC.

Su-35 - Russian multipurpose super-maneuverable fighter generation 4 ++. Developed in the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It uses the technology of the fifth generation, providing superiority over fighters of a similar class. Machines manufactured for the VKS of Russia are called Su-35С.

Awaiting Chinese copy or new upgrade of j-11

[seti]

A copy can and will be but with Chinese engines. And not soon. In general, this is the same as Heidi or Parsun, but not Yamaha.
Of course, a rough comparison, but on the topic, since the outboard engine and the airplane are like a finger and you understand that.
I would very much like to know how many a year we are able to build these fighters without an emergency mode and loss of quality .. Apparently at least 20-25 pieces.

[igorbrsv]

The potential even in emergency mode is unimportant. In the budget, the pocket was leaked. But if exports increase, then nothing is too late

[Borik]

Who is our next in line for this fighter?

The acquisition of Russian fighters was the reason Washington imposed sanctions against Beijing. China responded to the introduction of restrictive measures with even closer cooperation with Russia in the field of arms trade and the military-industrial complex.

If we have such close cooperation with China, then maybe 50 more will be bought.

VKS Russia

[Voyager]

VKS and so regularly receives these aircraft

Or at least remove banking sanctions

----------------------------
This is most likely not. Trade and banking are most important for China. In vain we supply them with airplanes, of course, we would boil in our own juice.

[IvanT]

And what good is it!
5th and 6th generation aircraft are on the way. You can sit proudly, but you can earn loot.

[Runoway]

Yes, it’s on the whole, relations with China are somehow one-sided, we give them their furs, the sale of the Su-27 taught nothing

[Waldemar]

If you bother to make out Chinese banknotes, you would find British symbolism on protective signs ....

[Zaurbek]

Surprisingly, one can not hear the comments of Chinese bloggers and experts that the J-11 is better. The Chinese already and Su57 comment with might and main, but here silence!

[Yrec]

But what about the 5th generation Chinese fighter? He, by definition, should be better than the Su-35? Or is all this bullshit? Looks like bullshit.

[Zaurbek]

The J-20 is better than the Su57 ... but it's quiet about the Su35C!

[voyaka uh]

They need a Su-35 for two reasons:
1) 2 extra. a set of engines for each of the 24 aircraft. 96 more engines.
2) to conduct training battles against his 5th generation. Su-35 is a worthy rival, on it the Chinese will polish their fighters.

[Yodzakura]

While they will polish on the approach of the su-57 that Russia will deliver if it does not deliver to China very soon

[Zaurbek]

I think the main thing that interests them is the engines and their control system, integrated into the overall control system.

[Waldemar]

Sanded to grind.

[kventinasd]

So far, the best serial combat aircraft in the world.
Western "partners" do not even dare to rise into the air when these birds fly.

[faterdom]

Myself needs more, we ourselves cried their cat.

[ved_med12]

Expensive. We have a fleet in an awful state ... Therefore, production and modernization up to Su 30 cm, while it seems to be a compromise ..

That's due to the export of our videoconferencing and arm.

[Victor1]

after a year and a half after the transfer of the first batch of SU35 to the Kikai, they had their own engine with a variable thrust vector, of course their version of the engine is much inferior to our original, but now who knows what will happen in 5-6 years, the more they can do a large number that can compensate for the quality.
therefore, all this trade with China technology should be more reasonable and cautious.
revenue from 24 aircraft was not worth giving them the opportunity to copy our engines.

[Vlad5307]

Copying the engine itself, mechanically, does little by itself - the main thing is the technology for processing and manufacturing the blades, and copying them simply will not work. Therefore, their engines have a small resource of work.
