Zhuhai Air Show 2014 - Updates & Discussions

The vice chairman of CCP Li Yuan Chao visited Su-35 in Zhuhai airshow today, means something?

Technologically, it is not a big deal for us, but politically it is a big deal.

Since Putin has started to persuade us to buy some Russian made manufacturing products since long time ago, he even hints to us to open the market for the Russian smartphone.

For Putin, only buying the natural resources from Russia is not truly a deepening economic cooperation, and we have to buy some of their manufacturing products. It is mandatory.

We can continue to buy their Mi-26 heavy helo. Heavy Helo is one area where Russian still has edge over is.

Russia is desperate to sell their Su-35, and they were even agreeing to transfer the technology to Brazil, but still got rejected with a such special offer.

Now they are picking on us, and i know it is very annoying to see Su-35 when we are nearly ready for our J-20 with the WS-15 engine, but we have no choice, it is simply for the political purpose.
 
He telling Russian to stop wasting their time trying to selling Su35 to China.

The PLAAF clearly doesn't want Su-35, and it has officially denied the purchase deal.

But the rumor just keeps respawning because it has became a political request, since Putin has pressed our leaders to accept Su-35 since many years ago. Now our leaders are taking the pressure here from both side, the PLAAF and Russia.
 
russia is in a difficult time, and we on the other hand have tons of money. buying Su-35 with limited number is a gesture to give russia some support. I root for it.

That's pretty much the point.

Although it cannot be compared with J-20, Su-35 on the other hand is still a good aircraft, so it can fulfill the quantity of our air force in a quick rate.

It would also take you a lot of time to build the modern aircrafts in large number.

I also support China buy some Su-35 from Russia, no bad for PLAAF flying Su-35 fighters ... win-win for both us.
Spend little money to get double security, i still believe Su-35 is a good 3.5-gen fighter. If $$$ useless to Russian, Chinese can do goods-exchanging trade to each other.

If Russia can sell 80 million per unit, then we could definitely considering buying up to 50, even 100.

But we are still concerning about their current production capability, consider their own induction rate and the old story of IL-76.

First batch of 42x Su-35 is enough ... after Russian can deliver all to China our J-20 must ready ... save money for next-gen stealth fighters, bro !

Remember one Chinese leg has been in stealth fighter club, we need try to put another leg into the door. It's the 1st importance PLAAF must consider within next 10years.
 
No more IL-76, Y-20 will replace them especially when WS-20 ready ... say bye to IL-76.

Yeah, the IL-76 deal has pretty much screwed us when we have paid the money but the product was not delivered.

So hopefully the deal of Su-35 won't have such unpleasant experience.
