On December 1, a net user took the above photo of 5
Su-35s flew past Qingdao led by an Il-76 transport.
Some people ask the question why China bought the fighter
jets since China has been able to make J-20 stealth and J-11B fighter jets
relatively as good as Su-35.
However. Su-35 certainly have some advanced functions and
performance for China to learn from such as its high maneuverability, newest
phased array radar, rear-view radar to guide missile to hit targets in its back
and especially its AL-41 engine.
Through reverse engineering, China can learn from Su-35
to quicken China’s development of most advanced fighter jets for its national
security.
This deal shows the China has enhanced Russia’s trust in
it, which has reduced Russia’s concern about China’ reverse engineering to copy
its technology.
China, on the other hand, is willing to pay high price for
Su-35 to enable Russia to have more funds for weapon development, which China
no longer regards as a threat to China’s national security.
Such trust will enable them to ally with each other to
resist US containment.

China will use the design of the Su-35 fighters acquired
in Russia to more efficiently modernize existing Su aircraft.
This statement was made by Wang Ya'nan, editor-in-chief
of the Chinese aviation magazine Aerospace Knowledge. In his opinion, the
purchased 24 Su-35 fighters will complement the fleet of multipurpose Su-27 and
Su-30, purchased in the 1990's. 2000, and formed the basis of the Air Force and
naval aviation of the PRC.

vectors in different directions to increase maneuverability and a phased-array
airborne radar that has improved capabilities for detecting stealth planes, the
