interestingly, the press release doesn't give the number ... it's sixteen (16):
Don't want to post it in Su-35 thread, let it be here:
For example, as a base for ASW, AEW&C, Recon, Tanker and many other craft. When you aren't under US umbrella, you have needs for wide array of such planes, which require suitable platform with reliable support&updates through service life, and preferably such platform won't be dropped by producer in the middle.
So, while ironic - China may end at some point with them, until viable local high-bypass solution will appear.
It isn't necessary(local chinese producers by now have all necessary aircraft sizes, even if not exactly best possible variants), but it gives fine alternative for quality:risk ratio.
It gives way to competitive government and military versions, though.
