anyways this is a good deal, be better if this deal was more planes. At this point China needs to bulk up really fast in numbers. SU-35 even with the F-22 is really a good plane.
The modernization plan for PLA is for up to 2030. Anytime before it, we pretty much a second rate military. (right now I only consider US first, rest including Russia is second.)
The SU-35 deal may do very little in the long term, but in the short term it would serve nicely in any confrontation (not war) with Japan.
The only thing I am worried about is with the Russian's own modernization plan, how much time and resources do they have to produce for China. Maybe that's why it's not a deal for more planes.
