Perhaps, Mig-29 is right. Judging from the on and off saga, China could be driving a hard bargain and if offered a cut throat price, it would be ridiculous not to accept. If the package includes the latest Russian engine, avionics and weapon systems
on an old airframe for something like half price, it's a steal.

Welcome Back, I kinda doubt the Chinese aerobatic team are flying Su-35s anytime soon, as I believe that Shenyang has the Flankers well in hand, but I don't doubt that lots of folks in the know, would love to get the F-117s in a Sino Flanker??? I wouldn't have been surprised a few years ago if this happened, but now?????? I am surprised this thread is still open, and I pretty much am convinced this is a dead duck! brat
Mig-29， Welcome back from a long Vacation.
It was very quiet without you.
If you were right, the following table would be different:
Let me repeat the fact: Up to Oct. 25 of 2013, China has not purchased a single Su-35.
Could Tphuang or other sinodefenceforum chart keeper corroborate this chart? Looks like the guy spent a lot of time on this.
Our opinion has been molded by the fact that the so called reliable sources had been crying wolf since 2009, and nothing substantial has come of it. China's reason for importing Su-35 wanes with each passing year as engine/avionics/material tech becomes mature.

I'm leaning towards being told next year by the Russians that the final agreement will be signed the year after next.

you can justify it, but still an opinion, not a fact yet, you have said it
