Russia is now trying to sell the Su-35 to China but of course, as far as I know, the PLA has never asked for it in the first place.

I actually dont think plaaf would have a problem with putting a small order for this a long as price is reasonable, but I dont think russia will be willing to do that.

Saw this a few days ago but didn't have chance to post it till now.

The latest AFM mag has run a story which seem to confirm PLAAF Su27 or J11s participating in Turkey earlier this year.

It states that the F16 did not take part in the exercises following US concerns over security, so F4s were used instead.

It also reported that the Flankers and support aircraft landed in Iran for refueling both to and from the exercise.

I am unsure how much to trust this report. On the one hand, it has a lot of details which seem to be confirmed, but of the other, it reported the J11 as CAC built...

I will let you guys decide for yourselves whether you want to believe this.

The PLAAF officially stated that the F-4s and Su-27s did not go head to head in air combat. Given that the Turkish F-4s are taylored to ground attack I think that the exercise involved the Su-27s escorting the F-4s on ground attack missions.

Has russia definitely abandon hopes for a su-33 sale to china? Not that it had much of a chance really, with china developing j-11. It was a matter of time before china developed j-15.

in my opinion, China is still 3 decade behind.

Could you justify these 3 decades of delay with rational arguments and evidences (proofs)?!
