Su-27 Pilot

Dont forget the Su-33 for the Carriers in the Naval airforce in the future perhaps.

the closest would be the su-35. china intends to add a fairly decent multirole ability, but keep the single seat. so the plane gets new radar, avionics, and engines. dont push the upgrade too far...

The US has the Raptor as the heavy fighter, and the Joint-Strike Fighter as the light fighter for the future, Russia has upgraded planes like the MiG MFI 1.44 and the MiG-29OVI (?) as an example of how powerful the Russian avaiation industry is, now they will get something of the Su-37 class and back that thing up with the PAK FA, if China doesnt get something of the 35BM class and instead built the 27SKM/30MKK/2/3 classes, China might as well just get a license production of it, China could of just started by this year building them and arm them with Chinese made weapons, China going to built her own plane will be somewhat of the advancements of the Chinese aviation industry, that can set as the G4.5 fighter plane along of what people are saying as the twin engine Jian-10 as Jian-12 and the 5th G J-14, like China's T-98 MBT, China isnt stopping just to built something like that, but constantly improvising, China is improvising on the data from the Jian 10 and 11, along with their systems and engines, stciking with the 27SKM is just bullshit really

Just like running, you just dont walk and run after that, jog your way all the way will prove for better efficiency

omg!!! ever though of using some periods?!!
its ovt, not ovi. the mig-ovt represents a terrific achievement of the russian aerospace industry, but is unrealisticly advanced and expensive to be covered in one blow. thats why the bm project was selected. the su-47 is also a great achivement for russia. im guessing russias plan is to keep developing technology, but not actually field it. when the economy makes a recovery(in 1000 years ), they will start fielding it.

the russian export fighters have radar codes that only support russian weaponry. simply put: russian radars dont speak chinese.

after the j-11, chinas unlikely to persue a co-production contract. it's simply to inflexible to modernization needs. after the debut of j-xx, the chinese aerospace industry will probably have enough experince and tech to lay off of russian aircraft permanently.

Chairman Hu

Periods remind me of girls... get the picture???

uhhh yea if you mean by frame, the only thing that China lacks is system and engine, the Su-35BM can cover some to alot of it, but the same thing will just occur, China might switch to joint development of systems rather
