How many extra engines would the chinese be getting?
Russia should only supply the SU-35 to China, if it doesn’t mind dog fights over it’s territory against the Chinese SU-35s.
Russia is slitting it’s national wrists here.
Ignorance is bliss...
We have a vote?
So, if most of us say NO here, Russia will not sell them to China? these things are useless.
I suspect Russia would sell to just about anyone who has the money. There might be a few they would hesitate to sell to but they are very few.
That could be a real treat!
In fact German WWII war machine was built from scratch with Soviet advice and some of their technology during interwar period while a few other nations cooperated with Germany.
Pincer movement, blitzcrieg, combined air&mech point strike on front, airborne warfare are all parts of 20’s-30’s Soviet theories. Soviets trained German officers in their training centers and supplied them war materiels to rebuild after Versalles up to mid-30s before German-Soviet split over Spain there Stalin backed republicans and Germany backed nazy element. And they have resumes cooperation in 1939 under non-agression pact.
Bad thing Stalin purged most of his military and military industrial complex 1937-1939 over this feud labeling thousands of able officers and scientists as German and Japanese spies just to come into WWII with earlier 30’s technology and WWI tactics used by incompetent loyalists.
I can easily see similarities there especially considering recant Russian military reform and so-calles anti-corruption witch hunting over military budget.
Very good bird.
Behind every air superiority fighter we have.
