the interesting thing is, PLAAF actually wanted the MiG-29, but had the Su-27 shoved up their collective ass by the CMC (the political one).

It's the same thing whit Russian carrierbrone fighters. Althoug MiG-29K would be clearly more suitable to operating from Kuznetsov, The Sukhois political influence marked that Su-33 was selected instead. And if you count the export succses between MiG and Sukhoi in general the same pattern is evident.

I doubt Russia would offer the Chinese this plane, since Chinese SU-30s are no where near the level of the MKI.

i dont get it... if the chinese planes are worse(the mkk isn't that much behind), why wouldn;t russia offer the plane or any of the engines or cocpit gear to china?

The MKI is way better than the MKK. The MKI incorporates better avionics, TVC, and the Bars radar.

dude, i wouldn't say shit like that with full BS and not understanding, you too Migleader; the PLAAF could of got the same upgrade for the MKK as the MKI but they just didn't want it! :mad:
they question to you (MiGLeader but mostly to snake) "know it all" is why didn't the PLAAF get the full upgrade?

They have different roles and different missions, MKK is designed as a maritime strke fighter, MKI is a Airsuperiority fighter. However, MKI is definitely a more complete system and is a multirole fighter.

no, the problem is that Russian would not sell something that good to China. I think that's why you see China is not buying any money sukhoi planes. China has been offered garbage and should not accept any more mkks.
