Su-35C went to the exhibition Airshow China 2014
Airshow China 11 is due to open in Zhuhai on November 2014th. During this event, Chinese and foreign aircraft building organizations will showcase their latest developments and negotiate the supply of a product. One of the largest expositions at the exhibition will be presented by Russian aviation industry. Several enterprises from Russia should present already known and new developments. In addition, a planned demonstration of equipment in a static parking lot. The highlight of the Russian exposition should be the Su-35S fighter of generation 4 ++.
Russian fighter Su-35 was spotted in the Chinese city of Taiyuan (Renmin Zhibao) 05 / 11 / 2014
The newest Russian fighter, which will take part in the Airshow China 2014 exhibition, went to China last Thursday. The plane rose from the airfield in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and made a six-hour flight to Zhuhai with one intermediate landing. In the cockpit of the fighter was test pilot Hero of Russia Sergei Bogdan. The Su-35С aircraft will also perform demonstration flights under the direction of S. Bogdan. Visitors of the cabin will be able to see not only the demonstrative flights of the new Russian aircraft, but also to examine it close to it - Su-35С will be located at one of the exhibition sites.
The newest Su-35С fighters are currently being mass-produced by order of the Russian Air Force. By the end of 2015, the air force should receive 48 of such aircraft. Almost half the order has now been completed - more than two dozen aircraft have been handed over to the military. After the completion of the current order, it is planned to sign another contract, due to which, by the end of the decade, 96 Su-35С fighters will be operated in total by the Air Force.
The Su-35S aircraft is another machine, created on the basis of the successful Su-27 family, however, it has a number of serious differences from its previous representatives. New fighters are equipped with a radar station "Irbis" with a phased antenna array capable of detecting targets (EPR 3 sq. M) at distances up to 400 km. Su-35C has a built-in automatic gun and 12 points for the suspension of rocket and bomb weapons. The aircraft is capable of carrying various guided and unguided weapons, which can be used to destroy air, ground and surface targets.
Su-35C production aircraft are equipped with AL-41F1C turbojet engines with an electronic-mechanical control system and thrust vector control. At maximum, these engines develop thrust up to 8800 kg, using full afterburner - 14000 kg. Thrust vector deviates within 20 ° from the axis. Two engines AL-41F1С allow the fighter to reach speeds of at least 2400 km / h. According to some reports, without the use of afterburner, the Su-35C accelerates to 1300 km / h.
Due to the high characteristics of the newest Su-35C fighter is of interest not only for the air forces of Russia, but also for other states. Over the past years, the possibility of supplying this technology to China has been actively discussed. Moreover, it was reported about holding some negotiations on the subject of such a contract. The first reports that China has shown interest in the Su-35, appeared in the 2008 year. In the spring of 2012, the media reported that the Chinese military could acquire at least 40 Russian aircraft, but Russia is ready to sell the equipment only on the condition that China will not copy it.
In November, 2012, the information appeared on the preliminary agreement of Russia and China. The future contract was supposed to be signed in the next few years. It was alleged that the Chinese military would order the 24 of the Su-35C aircraft. In March, 2013, the Chinese media reported on the signing of a framework agreement for the supply of Russian fighters. Finally, in July, 2014 appeared information about the continuation of the technical negotiations on the contract.
In discussions of future deliveries of Su-35С fighters to China, the problem of copying Russian designs by the Chinese industry was repeatedly raised. So, from the beginning of the nineties, Russia supplied the Su-27 fighter jets to China. A little later, the Chinese aircraft manufacturers introduced the J-11. Despite the significant similarity with the Su-27, this machine was positioned solely as its own Chinese development. Later this situation was repeated several times. For example, the Chinese anti-aircraft missile system HQ-9 is considered to be a modified version of the Russian C-300PMU.
Separate consideration is another example from the field of combat aircraft. Back in the nineties, China offered to buy several deck fighters Su-33. However, their small number and the first information about the J-11 aircraft led to the fact that the Russian side refused to conclude a contract. Later, China purchased from Ukraine the remaining prototype of the Soviet carrier-based fighter and part of the documentation on it. A few years after that, the first flight of the J-15 carrier-based fighter, also called its own design, took place.
This practice has led to reasonable concerns. Receiving the promised 1,5 billion US dollars for a batch of X-NUMX Su-24s can have at least ambiguous consequences in the form of the appearance of their Chinese copies. It faces both economic and military-political or military-technical problems. For this reason, there is still an opinion that one should not sell the latest domestic aircraft to China.
Nevertheless, despite the possible risks, negotiations on the future contract continue. In addition, the Su-35C fighter will be shown at the upcoming Airshow China 2014. Russian aircraft will become an exhibit at a static parking lot, as well as take part in demonstration flights. The fighter on display has been in China for several days and is preparing to participate in the exhibition.
Meanwhile, the Chinese public is also discussing the arrival of the newest Russian fighter. As in many such discussions, opinions are divided. Some fans of technology believe that the purchase of Russian Su-35С should have a beneficial effect on the state of the PLA Air Force, while others criticize such a deal. Of particular interest are discussions of photographs of the Russian fighter. So, for example, some participants in the discussions were embarrassed by the appearance of the Su-35C. The close-up photographs show how the fuselage skin bends between the power elements of the structure. This fact causes both bewilderment and harsh criticism, including using not quite decent expressions. At the same time, the Chinese note the high production culture of their newest J-20 and JF-17 aircraft.
Apparently, the military and political leadership of China does not share the opinion of ardent critics of the Russian fighter, who remained dissatisfied with the appearance of the skin. Negotiations on the new contract continue and are likely to end as soon as possible. In addition, according to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Su-35С aircraft arrived in Zhuhai precisely at the insistence of the Chinese side. Thus, this fighter is completely satisfied with the potential customer in the face of China and should soon become the subject of a firm contract.
As a result of the implementation of the planned contract for the Air Force, the People’s Liberation Army of China will receive a number of modern generation fighters 4 ++, which can significantly increase the combat capability of the units. For Russia, this contract is beneficial primarily from an economic point of view. In the spring of 2012, it was reported that for 48 fighters, China is ready to give about 4 billion US dollars. To date, the order volume has decreased significantly. According to the latest reports on this score, the total cost of 24 Su-35С should be 1,5 billion dollars. Thus, the Russian aircraft manufacturers will receive additional profits, as well as simplify the process of promoting the new aircraft on the international market.
In the coming days, Chinese specialists and lovers of military equipment will be able to personally see the newest Russian fighter planned for purchase for the air force. In addition, the results of negotiations on the purchase of 24 aircraft should be announced soon. In the meantime, Su-35С fighters are being built exclusively for the Russian Air Force. Until the end of the decade, their total number can reach 96 units.
