One of the Malaysian media recently published material according to which in 2007, China received from Ukraine a deck training aircraft Su-25UTG. The article states that this transaction was recorded in the UN Register of Conventional Arms.
Su-25UTG was created in 1984 and is designed to train deck pilots aviation. The aircraft was developed on the basis of the combat trainer Su-25UB. The base aircraft is a two-seat attack aircraft, in contrast to it, the Su-25UTG is a “clean” training machine. There are no military equipment on board the Su-25UTG, in particular, the guidance system weapons and communications systems with ground forces.
The article suggests that China acquired the Su-25UTG not as a museum piece or to decorate a casino. China is studying this aircraft in order to create its own carrier-based training aircraft.
In Ukraine, in Saki (Crimea peninsula) there is a pilot aviation pilot training center. Ukraine offered China to use this object to train its ship pilots. This proposal did not please Russia, which in 2011, initiated the construction of its own training center of a similar direction. Representatives of the Russian Navy said that the joint use of the center in Saki by Russian and Chinese pilots would cause "great inconvenience."
