It's a Q&A with yankeesama.
Avionics are worst than J-16
There's a reddit thread over in "lesscredibledefense" where a decent translation was provided both in the post and in the comments if anyone was interested in reading it fully.
The overall thrust of it isn't too shocking; i.e.: Su-35 with 117S engines is kinematically impressive, however in terms of avionics and weapons suite it is somewhat lacking to domestic contemporaries like J-16.

The statement about KS-172 is what makes an overall very reasonable interview not without a grain of salt.
I have serious reasons to doubt many people in China truly know this zombie of a rocket good enough(or anywhere else). It neither passed state trials nor was a finished product, to begin with.

What is it on the intake pylons? Never seen that on any flanker type before.
