Does China have Sukhoi 35?
China has received a second batch of ten aircraft in 2017, and another ten in 2018. The Su-35S entered service with PLAAF in April 2018, and are based in Guangdong province in southeast China. In June 2019, Russia offered China a second batch of Su-35s.
How much does a Su-35 cost?
The per-unit cost of a Su-35 is estimated at around $85 million.
Is the SU 34 Supermaneuverable?
“The Su-34 is an unusual aircraft. With its sweeping contours and canard foreplane, it looks very much like a fighter plane in external appearance. That is where the bomber gets its sweeping fuselage shape, making it supermaneuverable for such a heavy plane; but it has lost out on speed,” the expert said.

Will China buy more Russian Su-35S?
“We are expecting a response from China on our offer to purchase modern weapons and military equipment manufactured in Russia, including additional batches of Su-35 fighter jets,” Russia’s arms export agency told TASS last week. Two days later, a Chinese military television channel reported that China may buy more Su-35s to replace older aircraft.
Does it make sense for China to buy Russian fighters?
For now, it may indeed make sense for China to buy fighters from Russia: the two nations, which once fought a border war and vied for supremacy in the Communist bloc, now enjoy friendly – but wary – relations. But given its ambitions, at some point China will have to rely on its own resources.
Why is China buying Russian warplanes?
A great boon for China’s air force. Key point: China is still looking to expand its logistical support fleet as it continues to modernize its air force. For a nation that boasts of developing an advanced stealth fighter, it seems strange that China would need to buy warplanes from its former rival Russia.
