The appearance of su57 may indicate russia is seeking some sort co development.

Wow ... I know I'm a bit late to the party and even if the J-35A is surely the star of the show, this is another surprise!

Still can’t believe the WS-15 beat the Idz 30 to production.

WS-15 should be comparable to F117 in terms of maximum thrust (~160-170+ kN) and Idz 30 in terms of T/W ratio (10+).

Why do you think the mere appearance of Su57 may indicates Russian is seeking some sort of co development? Was it you suggested somehow by having Su57 at Zhuhai this year, it might mean China’s intention to purchase a few. If that was you, I suggest you give up this thought. It’s absolutely pointless…

China is a rising power and with much more financial power and now even technical power than Russia. The gap will only keep getting bigger with each passing year. Russia's largest market for its arms industry should remain India and other developing countries for some time. Since they still have alot to offer those countries, China will be replacing alot of Russian weapon systems in the international market this coming decades especially from developing countries. So Russia's arm market will only reduce this coming decades.
