China will build J-11B, J-15 and J-16 regardless of whether Sukhoi and Russia agree or not. Sukhoi can only cooperate, or not make any money from China. Sukhoi chose to cooperate.Let me tell you my opinion
I do not agree with you, you whole argument has many holes
First Sukhoi`s text in English says
The implemantation of the license still going on and the delivery of spare parts to previously delivered aircraft is taking place.
Later on they say China and Russia are doing fine, no problems in the cooperation in aviation affairs.
Cooperation with China in the field of military aviation develops successfully. The implementation of the program of Su-type licensed aircraft production is going on, as well as the delivery of spare parts for previously delivered aircraft. The framework established on the basis of long-term cooperation provides for the transition in the near future to a new level of cooperation on major projects
This implies to me China can still build Su-27s, they fixed the problems and they are happy.
You lack any proof showing the contrary. The problem here is that you want to believe China will use AL-31F on new Flankers, while the reality is that all those new Flankers are equipped with WS-10A and have no need for Russian engines.You argumentation first has the lack of any official proof Russia only will deliver Al-31 to China to old aircraft.
Okay you promised you will find it.
Okay i won`t believe you unless you prove it.
He never made such claim.Now argumentation holes.
a) you claim J-11B, J-15, J-16 are illegal and China still builds them with WS-10.
Wrong. .b) russia is angry so no Al-31 will be delivered to new aircraft.
First Sukhoi texts implies they are happy and the license is till going on.
To me it means Russia does not care any more about the new Su-27s build in china since China still buys replacements for previously delivered aircraft and in fact If China buys Al-31s and fit them to new Su-27s that does not contradict the license.
The original license called for new Al-31s to be fitted onto new Su-27s build in China, in fact the disagreement was because WS-10 went into new build airframes and China did not want new Al-31s
So your whole argumentation is ilogic, China stopped the license in 2004 because they said no new Al-31s.
Now this is what makes me feel you do not understand, the whole point.
If WS-10 is not reliable, then it makes more sense to continue the license with Al-31s and fit the WS-10 into J-10s, why?
J-10 is Chinese, so Russia can not ask China about not fitting WS-10s into J-10s or J-20s but it can about J-11s, J-15 and J-16s since they are Sukhois Flankers.
So in My opinion unless you prove me with official documentation in the level of Sukhoi page or Saturn, maybe SAC or official Chinese sources, your theory is just an opinion
Foreign and Chinese military experts were quick to point out that the J-15, one of China's newest military aircraft, was powered by a pair of Russian Al-31 turbofans - they power almost all of China's frontline aircraft. Reports in the Russian media say Moscow has sold more than 1,000 engines from the A1-31 family to China with further, substantial orders in the pipeline
In fact in Russia there is optimism Al-31 will continue to be bought by China
Until you show us official documentation that AL-31F are being fitted to new production of Chinese Flankers, what you have said are merely your own wish with no basis in reality.
