In China, they wanted to buy 12 Russian Su-57 fighters ... very urgently:
Translated by google
China unexpectedly announced its intention to acquire a batch of Russian Su-57 fighters.
Despite Beijing's vigorous criticism of Russian fifth-generation combat aircraft, a number of Chinese information sources reported that the issue of acquiring a batch of 12 Russian Su-57 fighters is currently being actively discussed in China. This is due not only to the PRC's intentions to strengthen its air forces at the expense of Russian combat aircraft, but also to an attempt to “borrow” some technologies.
“Russia and the United States lag behind in the technological equipment of their fifth generation fighters, but the Russians have always created good combat aircraft. For this reason, the possibility of purchasing twelve, and possibly more, Su-57 fighters for the needs of the PRC’s Air Force is currently being considered , ”Sina Military reports.
Given the absence of official statements from representatives of the Chinese Air Force and the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China, it can be assumed that at the moment the possibility of buying Russian Su-57s is only being considered, however, specialists against this background have a very relevant question - when exactly will China be able to get fighter into service Su-57, in the case of a contract, because, obviously, this will happen no earlier than 2030.
