My Russian source however stated, this deal is about "Kalibr" antiship missile.

Kalibr? Cruise missle?

That's what he said.

 

[帅的一匹]

That's what he said.

I search it on Internet, no similar news found. Maybe he get wrong. The least we need is cruise missile.

I would rather believe China buy another 2 squadrons of Su35s.

Can Su35 load Calibr?

Maybe Russia doesn't share the source code of Su35, it may only load Russian weapons. It's understandable if this is the case. China has many USD reserve, just buy it.

@Denio can you please confirm with your Russian source that will Russi sell Tu 160 bomber to China?

We can pay good price! H20 bomber is under development, I don't know how far it goes.

 

[Deino]

So it's only a game of thought from You or is this a rumour circling thru the net ?

IMO NEVER regardless what China would or could pay.

No one in China will say no to white Swan.

Sorry, but the point is: is this wish-full thinking on behalf of some Chinese or did You hear, the Russians offered it ?

As far I know the Russian 'forced' upgraded Tu-160 till PAKDA viable, so why don't China have same reason to stick to H-6 until H-20 ready, Wang? Maybe China can save their money for better thing, beside it seems odd if China buy upgraded 'White Swan' when good ol' H-6 still work well, in other side, (perhaps) somewhere H-20 plan still working out (this one also need funding to exist). Sorry Chinese member, just my opinion.

 

[Akasa]

Perhaps for the Kilo class submarines?

By the time the Tu-160 would be delivered, the H-20 will be conducting flight tests.
