Actually we do not need to care whether a fighter is a redesign or an evolution of a basic older design. For all we know, many of US aircraft are also evolution rather than totally new design concept because many of the components shared the same things.
So what if the Su-35 is an evolution of the Su-27, as long as it reach the capability of a 4.5 generation aircraft, it is a 4.5 generation aircraft. And it is high time that we give the Russian some credit. As soon as there are money coming in, they can still do things very much quicker than many of her neighbours.
