China All Su-35 news

[UKBengali]

Where u see the U.S building F-22 & F-35, will abandon their F-15 and F-16 aircrafts ? Does Russia building T-50, will abandon their Su-30 & Su-27 ?

Are they buying foreign kit?

Big difference between making domestic aircraft and
importing foreign ones.

This decision is so bizarre it defies logic. J-20
will be so much superior than SU-35 that it will
be a turkey shoot for J-20 pilots if they ever went
against each other.

Whatever the reason for this strange purchase, China
has caused untold damage to its's reputation as a
fighter aircraft producer.

I think you are being overly harsh. I am sure the PLAAF leadership has its reasons for the the SU-35 purchase.

LOL ... China Airforce just save the time to equip 1,000+ 3-gen & 4-gen fighters for the future challenge, not care whether those advanced fighters from China aircraft producer or Russia aircraft producer ... Su-35 is much better than Mig-29 and F-16, such purchase only make China Airforce more power. Future the relationship between U.S / Russia / China will be more interesting, above three countries try to produce & get more weapons in next years. China need Su-35, coz PLAAF need new power in the sky.

Future the sky in West Pacific is F-22 / F-35 / F-15 / F-16 vs J-20 / J-21(maybe) & Su-35 / Su-30 & J-16 & J-11B / J-10B/C, that's the strategy balance between U.S and China. The Su-35 purchase from Russia is the double insurance for China PLAAF building.

24 planes is nothing.

 

[Beast]

24 planes is nothing.

The plane is not for China.

 

[Tiqiu]

I know my obsession to numbers is maybe not understandable to others, but if You look at this blurred block of numbers it does not look as if it is a 11x3x-pattern that a 6. AR, 2. Division type should have ??

That pattern is not always reliable, it can be changed upon needs or when compromised.
It was widely believed the first batch of 4 were delivered to the D2, not FTTC Cangzhou. Maybe it has something to do with the recent tensions with Taiwan.

 

[cnleio]

24 planes is nothing.

More, not only 24x.

 

[rcrmj]

More, not only 24x.

im afraid thats it, we only wanted 2 from them in the very begining```we actually done quite a lot tests on Su-35 before this hand over, and quite deep tests actually, and the brass not quite happy with few of its true stats, but in whole its a decent plane`````I can only say that

...

O.k. ,,, but as far as I know, the PLAAF is not known for faking their serials - pretending to not show, to hide or ps or remove them; YES - but not to apply faked numbers.

BY the way ... my Japanese is even worse than my Chinese but does he say 23063~23066 ??

[Ultima Thule]

then WHO's don't say that these are for Pakistan

 

[Deino]

@BoQ77 Please do us a favour ... and do not start another flame war !!!

The J-20 is in active PLAAF service - maybe only at the FTTC and not in front-line use - but anyway it is; period ... end of Your claim.
And not sure what You were smoking before You posted "China would be interested in T-50 too"

Deino

 

[Ultima Thule]

Yeah I remember one Chinese member said that the deal is for Pakistan, not for China too.

It just @Beast thinks that

 

[Cyberian]

What's the reason given for the earlier than scheduled delivery of the aircraft?

 

[帅的一匹]

What's the reason given for the earlier than scheduled delivery of the aircraft?

I think China will buy another regiment of it if it can show a good performance in combat excercise. As to the earlier delivery, I think it's per China's requirement. The situation around China is gettin worse.

The Su-35 arrival opposed nearly all estimation of Chinese members few years ago.
@Deino : could you name the more advance fighter in China for next few years that's ready for air combat?

No, please. Not again!

We have thousands 3th gen fighter need to be replaced.

 

[BoQ77]

More, not only 24x.

Agree. And more AL41 engines
