Photos released of China’s Su-35 fighters

The Voyenny Osvedomitel (Military Informer) online community has published photos of Sukhoi Su-35 fighters that belong to China’s Air Force. Russian-made aircraft are seen at an airport in Guangdong Province. The images also feature Chinese personnel and a compact pushback tug that can drive under the belly of the fighter.

It was reported earlier that the deliveries of Su-35 to China under the 2015 contract have been completed. Beijing received 24 planes for $2.5bln. However, the agreement will be implemented in full in 2020 because it includes not only aircraft delivery.

China is the first foreign buyer of the Russian 4++ generation fighter. The Su-35 multipurpose supermaneuverable aircraft is close to the fifth-generation jet fighters.
