| Director of the Military Technical Cooperation Service, Mr. Dmitry Shugaev, also emphasized that in 2017, Russia can only complete and deliver to China a maximum of 10 4++ generation Su-35 fighter jets. Photo source: Sina. |
 |
| The Russian side also added that starting last year, the preparation process for the production of aircraft under the contract for 24 Su-35s that China purchased from Russia has just begun and will be completed in about 2 years. Photo source: Sina. |

| In 2015, China became the first country to order Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets. In total, China ordered 24 Su-35s with a total contract value of up to 2 billion USD. Photo source: Sina. |

| Developed from Russia's most successful version of the Su-27, the Su-35 has a crew of only one person, is 21.9 meters long, has a wingspan of 15.3 meters, and has a wing surface area of 62 square meters. Photo source: Sputnik. |

| The empty weight of this aircraft is about 18.4 tons, along with two Starn AL-31 engines allowing it to reach a maximum take-off weight of up to 34.5 tons. The maximum speed of the Su-35 is up to 2400 km/h equivalent to Mach 2.25, maximum flight range of 3600 km, flight ceiling of 18 km. Photo source: Defense. |

| The Su-35 has a total of 12 weapon pylons under its wings and belly, allowing it to carry up to 8 tons of weapons. In addition, this fighter is also equipped with a 30mm GSh-301 cannon. Photo source: National. |

| Many sources say that China actually wants to get its hands on the Su-35 fighters just to copy the AL-31 engine of this fighter because it is suitable for the J-20 aircraft that China is developing. Russia is fully aware of this, so it "forced" China to either buy the entire batch of 24 or not sell. The result is clear to everyone, however, both Russia and China do not agree or deny the above story. Photo source: Defense. |
