But do they have enough pilots?. For the past 8 years, the Ukranian Air Force has been bleeding personel, to the point they barely fly 50 hours per year on average per pilot

I honestly don't know. I think we need to see how many get delivered and how many get make it into the air. If they all do, I'd strongly suspect there are 'volunteers' flying them.

These don't last very long against Su-35. They are 1 generation behind. Think MiG-21 fighting F-15.

On paper, you are correct. However, given the performance of the RuAF in this conflict, this will be a major headache.

Unless China sells the Russians Dark Swords or something. ;)

They made a mistake by sending few armored colums one at time instead of going 100% in when everything started, and there is rumors that soldiers have been instructed to avoid causing Ukrainian military casualties, seems kinda ridiculous when your opponent is a larget country with large army.

Now all those small colums are/were staranded all over so they are easy pickins... Russian strategy has cost them a lot of blood and equipments.

So Putin really thought that this was a war between brotherly nations... Flagrant violation of Siege's rule no. 1 -- "Never drink your own Kool-aid".

At that time, many Eastern European countries initially also wanted to purchase Chinese vaccines until the pressure from Western European countries and the US forced them to abandon the effort. These countries were also given blessing from the Chinese government that it would expedite the shipment but the offer never extended to Ukraine.

Before Zelenskyy and Motor Sich, China's relationship with Ukraine is actually pretty good and China is willing to help Ukraine in many ways. However, after Motor Sich, the Chinese ambassador tried to salvage the relationship but it is obvious that Ukraine under Zelenskyy is extremely unreliable and any agreements with Ukrainian government would not survive the US pressure. That's why the relationship between China and Ukraine has been cool off rapidly. It isn't to say that China is please with what Russia did but the relationship between China Ukraine just isn't what it used to be.

Hahahahaha
I admit that being an ethnic Chinese, I have a hard time "getting" the laughing point of foreign jokes. But I remember this particular article piece from many many years ago. Back then, this has quite a popularity in China, and helped Putin earned a lot of respects from Chinese people. The main talking point was that Putin is a gentlemen with martial spirit, and was very serious and respectful in sparring, by letting his sparring partner (who is just a little girl) practice her take down move. I apologize that I don't really know the proper terminology for Judo moves.

Now I will try to understand your "joke": you are implying that Putin is actually weaker in Judo than this little girl. AND with such an implication, you are impersonating the typical white western muscle-brain jocks, who is simplistic and naive to the point of believing what they see at the surface, and without a ounce of critical thinking.

Well, the last time I encountered such type of "joke", it was a bunch of kids on Jimmy Kimmel show, who said that to solve the China debt problem, they would simply need to "kill all the Chinese". To be honest, I still don't get what the kids are joking about, even to this day. Maybe I will need to (*sarcasm alert) give him a gun and let him kill a handful of Chinese, and determine the weight of his little joke by measuring how fast he pulls the trigger and how little his heart beat rate changes before, during and after the shooting.

I am joking of course. I apologize in advance if the above language is offensive or in bad taste for our forum. If the mods find this kind of jokes to be against forum guidelines, I will never post such type of words again.
