1, bought Su 35 and got to know T50. Russian T50 contains the technology of Su 35, and India will definitely be equipped with monkey T50. Of course, the Su -35 is also unique. It is said that our army has developed a kind of plasma stealth (for Su -35) in Russia. We visited it, only to find that it is far less magical than boasting, and certainly more advanced than China's research and development. We have to buy a villa.
2. In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the air force, after all, the J-20 has not yet been finalized, and it is impossible to quickly form combat effectiveness. Even if it is delivered to the troops in batches, it is necessary to test all aspects of performance, launch various missiles, write training programs, and find various bugs. It will take 3-5 years.
3. In order to study fuselage materials and engines, China is weak in materials and engines. And obviously, China can't get advanced weapons from the west after all, so Russia is the only reference object. The same is true of the Dara class submarine. The most advanced submarine in China is the Russian Kilo class, which was developed by itself on the basis of the Kilo class. Now Russia has developed a Dara-class submarine, and we have not contacted advanced submarines for many years. Outsourcing western submarines is obviously unrealistic, so buying Russian weapons is a natural choice.
4. In order to balance trade. China and China have a serious import and export surplus (a deficit for Russia), but it is useless for to ask for dollars (China has the largest foreign exchange in the world), so it will naturally be spent.
At present, Russia is very short of foreign exchange. My friend is engaged in Sino-Russian trade, and Russia restricts foreign exchange exports. Each company is only allowed to trade $2,000 in foreign exchange every day. It happens that Russia is short of dollars and China is short of high-quality arms. The two hit it off. Dollars for arms.
In addition, China is equipped with a new fighter (Su-35), which also confuses China's opponents. After all, the flight parameters are different from those of active fighters in China, and foreign countries need targeted training.
Su -35 is a typical fighter with three generations and a half, but China's army lacks this fighter. Su 35 is also a reference.
Our army is heavily equipped with Su -27, 30 and 33 series fighters. The purchase of Su -35 plays a very good role in studying the evolution of Russia from Su -27 to Su -35, which can be used to improve the performance of our army against China J- 1 1, J- 15 and J- 16.
6. The United States also buys a lot of foreign weapons. For example, the 120mm tank gun on M 1 is German; The Marine Corps AV-8B (Harrier) plane was bought from England, and the C-27J transport plane was bought from Italy.
7. The vector thrust engine of Su -35 is a unique technology of the fourth-generation aircraft, and the third-generation aircraft of China is not equipped. China bought some Su-35s, and the pilots did some vector thrust training on the Su-35s before the last four generations, which was very beneficial to the J-20.
8. 歼-20 is certainly good, but the output is not large at present. At present, J-10D and J-1D are still in the development stage, while J-16 is faced with the problem of not giving full play to its performance and modifying its design due to the problems of airborne radar. At present, only J-10B/C series can be assembled in batches, and the output of J-10B fighters is insufficient. China Air Force still has hundreds of J-7s waiting to be replaced, so the pressure of new equipment can be imagined. However, when four and a half generations or even five generations of fighters become the mainstream of new fighters, although the output of four and a half generations is not large enough at present, it is obviously not as wise to continue to produce standard four and a half generations as to equip them. Although Su -35SK has no obvious advantages compared with the latest fighter in China, it has obvious performance advantages compared with J-10A and J-1B, which are heavily served by the Air Force. In the present China Air Force, there are also "less than 20 aircraft and more than 1,000 aircraft". In addition, the Su -35 fighter has served in the Russian Air Force for many years, and almost all the problems encountered in the initial stage of new equipment have been solved, which can be said to be in good condition. This is also an important reason why the outside world has been analyzing the procurement of Su -35 by China Air Force, not only to make up for the production capacity, but more importantly, to avoid the strength gap during the transition of China Air Force equipped with four and a half generations of fighters.
