I am still waiting for an officail announcement by Chinese officials in China, and still waiting to see a SU-35 in PLAAF colors with PLAAF registration numbers on it.


Seeing the photo of the one landing is nice...but until I see several SU-35s in PLAAF colors with PLAAF registration numbers, and here an official announcment from the PRC in China...I'm sorry, I am still not 100% convinced.

Surely that is not too much to ask?

The photo of an Su-35 landing is confirmed to be from the 2014 Zhuhai Airshow. So no definitive pictorial evidence as of yet.

Maybe China doesn't want to be a reference customer and put this into the contract?

I don't think J-20 needs TVC, ever. Even J-31 has a better chance. Aren't all rockets have TVC? Surely it's more complicated on an aircraft, but I don't think it's a blocking technology. We've seen a picture where Jiang zemin was playing with it. The engine itself is more difficult to crack. Having too many engine programs going in parallel is not a good sign for WS-15.

is reliable in fact the news about each PAKFA prototype have been published by them, and will continue laughing at all of you since the pictures are dubious to those who have hope they were not wrong continue dreaming i will laugh more about all of you more Su-35s will be delivered in 2017 and more picture will emerge, but keep your hope i know time will destroy it

I can only agree with him ! That bird is a Chinese Su-35 for sure and it was taken in China ... for me that discussion has ended.

The only question that remains ... at least for now:

- what serial number does it have ? ... is it really the off-standard number 23x3x ?? And why ?
- are they really based / assigned at the 6. AR. 2. Division ?
- for what purpose ?
- will more purchased ?

So in the end all I need is a finally clear and full-sizes image.
