Interestingly, there's a rumor circulating that the Su-57 may have a slight chance of appearing in Zhuhai Airshow this year.

Something rarer than a giant panda

Interesting list … reads almost like my own wish-list, but how likely is it?

It is kind of odd to have a Russian aircraft in the show, but it is not impossible.
They already had foreign aircraft in the past.

The Russian Knights (their aerobatics team) also performed at Zhuhai a few times in the 2000s.

The Russians went with the Su-57 to Teknofest in Turkey in 2019 as well.
It would be a way to display the aircraft close to other possible customers in the Asia Pacific region like Vietnam or Malaysia.

like 2016

It has been rumored that the air force variant of the J-35 will make an appearance at Zhuhai this year. It must be noted that this claim is still unverified as of present.

Should we have separate threads for land and naval systems for for this year's Zhuhai Expo as well?

Said to be a 8x8 IFV with possible new turret and 125mm cannon arriving for the expo. Posted by @Nickgreat1220 on Twitter.
