Chinese purchase of Su-35

asif iqbal · Dec 25, 2016

Russian side confirmed the deal ages ago

Chinese side never confirmed

So we have to wait on visual confirmation

Which in the end means waiting !?

So in essence we the viewers are not any wiser

Btw the comment on PDF about Pakistan buying these is hilarious apologies from my side

Thanks ... but I think that deal is done and real; there is nothing more to deny regardless if we have images as proof or not.

IMO it is simply that the Chinese side to any us unknown reason does not want to make it public, but the aircraft were delivered.

Those photos are russian su-35 from zhuhai, no real photo of PLAAF ones yet.

I doubt the legitimate of this photo because the Su-27 in the background. However, quite a few Chinese sites have confirmed the arrival of the Su-35. Real photos please!

What does mean for the Chinese to keep secret if the Russians are blowing it so big?

CCTV confirmed. Su-35 is going to escort H-6K.

Maybe the Chinese themselves are ashamed of buying such unnecessary equipment for silly political reasons and would rather not celebrate wasting money.

Huitong has an image of what appears to be a PLAAF Su-35 on his site.
