Chinese purchase of Su-35

By 2018 PD-14 will be tested in MS-21 and by 2025 this aircraft and engine can be used by multiple countries and programs, in fact PD-14 will spawn an entire family of engines, even one that will power SSJ-100
Can be used and will be used by multiple countries are completely different things. Do you genuinely think for whatever little non-Russian/CIS sales MC-21 manage to achieve, the customer will go with the PD-14 option instead of the Pratt & Whitney option?

OR helped the Russian to figure out the flaws in their Su35 program so that they can than translate their super late and much delayed T-50 PAK FA program in regards to the engine problem.

Why would China help Russian to figure out the flaws of SU-35?

When I bought a new super expensive toys, I wouldn't want to play around to help manufacturer find the flaws

have you ever read the accident production rates of Russian / western aircraft?

To your surprise, some Russian aircraft are very safe, Tu-204 for example, same is Il-96, however these aircraft flew in the cold war years, by the 1990s western firms like Boeing and airbus entered the CIS, the reason was economy fuel economy, PD-14 is an attempt to fix that.

Ms-21 is not different, first the PD-14 is designed like the Pratt and Whitney engine as an option, some customers will go for the P&W engine others for PD-14, it is the same with any Boeing aircraft, they are not always fitted with american engines, but PD-14 will spawn an entirely family of Engines, Al-31 did the same, in fact the engine powering Su-35 is a derivative, but its SFC is not the needed for a full blown derivative of PAKFA, for a Flanker derivative it is okay, for a interim engine for PAKFA it is okay.
The P&W engine is the same for a full blown Russian aircraft is not enough, you need PD-14, it will spawn the development of several variants, variants of 10 tonnes of thrust as well and 25-30 tonnes of thrust , so regardless you think the P&W is better, the UEC is designing the engine.

Su-35 was cleared for export because is not really a 5th generation engine, China is not getting the engine it will need for a real J-20 fully developed version, only for a Su-27 clone with limited supercruise and TVC nozzle authority, and perhaps an interim engine for J-20 and a very advanced version of J-10.

So Su-35 was cleared for export in the right time 2015 (by that i mean agree to be exported to China when they signed the contract) when Type 30 was almost finished its development

It's entirely to have religious discussions in a thread about su-35. Stop it or face suspension.

You are joking right? You are using Tu-204 & IL-96 as evidence to support your theory that some Russian aircraft are very safe? Considering how few Tu-204 are in service anywhere, the fact that there's already been 2 accidents translates into an absolutely terrible accident rate.

rate means an average for you information the B-737 has more accidents by number than any Tupolev aircraft, but by rate Tu-240 has the equivalent accident rates to B-767 and B-757

Medieval time is among the darkest days of human history, yet some people tries to make it sound like a beacon of civilization. Nothing is more absurd than that, not to mention it is entirely off topic. How the sale of su-35 makes b787 over zealous is beyond my understanding. What purpose does that kind of claim serve anyway. It has nothing to do with history or reality.

A supposed win-win deal turns into baseless political-religious fanfare. I don't know I should laugh or fell sad.

you said deal is never going to happen, only that, now you attack me because you have no way to get out of your mistake, the only person i saw was open and honest was Thuang, he admitted the possibility, this thread was opened and closed in ridiculous ways claiming the Russian media was telling lies, now not even a week ago people were claiming close the thread, the whole thread showed your theories wrong.

Now your tactic is go off topic but i do not care i am very happy i proved most of you wrong Su-35 is in China and you even bet with me for an apology, so yes i won:):p
You are like this:mad:

what's your source for the claim that Tu-204 have equivalent accident rates as B757 & B767? FYI, both B757 & B767 were affected by the Sept 11th terrorist high jacking

ridiculous ways claiming the Russian media was telling lies
The Russian media does tell lies, there are even websites dedicated to exposing the lies in Russian media reports.
