You can use autotranslation click CC->click option(wheel icon)->click subtitle->click autotranslation->click english It will provide english subtitle.
It does not say much that we don't know full of rumor and hearsay saying Israel design is transferred to China to built J 10 WRONG! Saying J20 is copy of Mig 1.44 but he discounted that latter in the video

Autotranslate is so terrible, thanks for saving me 20 minutes.
Thanks Hendrik
I thought that the video was pretty balanced for something from a Russian source. Usually they bash the hell out of any Chinese platform.
Me but too lazy to watch through and annotate a 20 minute video LOL yes I know, I'm useless
There has been a sea change in Russian thinking over the past few years. With western sanctions against the country, they realize they aren't big enough to sustain a whole technological stack combining the latest in military and civilian technology developments on their own.
Cooperation between Russia and China is key in the 21st century, it doesn't have to be a perfect 50/50 balance for both Russia and China to come out ahead. Of course, we even started hearing about how Russia might want to start getting china to build LHDs (like dumplings) which they can just outfit with their weapons.
The type 075 is perfect for that, since its a big platform that takes advantage of scale in chinese shipyard construction, but is also not a technologically bleeding edge design. At the same time, China could still use russian assistance to build up its submarine fleet. Perhaps a trade of surface warships for SSNs.
Doesn't hurt to buy more. China is a reliable partner and will deliver the necessary hardware at an affordable price, on time and on schedule and won't renege; unlike the French.
