OREANDA-NEWS The deal on the sale of Su-35 fighter jets to China, which was concluded in 2015, is the main mistake of the Russian aircraft industry. This opinion was expressed by Chris Osborne, a columnist for the American edition of 19FortyFive.
He recalled that as part of the $2.5 billion agreement, which the article called a mistake, China received 24 aircraft.
"China may not have really been interested in "flying" the acquired Su-35, but simply borrowed or "stole" technology for its growing fleet. The acquisition and then theft of more foreign technology is consistent with the well-known tactics of modernization China," the author writes.
The publication admitted that the Su-35 could have been used to study modern technologies that were used in the Russian fighter. In particular, the aircraft is equipped with thrust vector-controlled engines, an Irbis-E radar and a modern electronic warfare system.
In February, The National Interest magazine wrote that the Su-35 generation 4++ surpasses the American fifth-generation fighter F-35 Lightning II in terms of maximum speed. The Russian aircraft has a speed of about 2.3 Mach numbers.
