“The appearance of advanced People’s Liberation Army fighter jets capable of attacking surface combat vessels in this region is sort of a reaction to the provocation by the US. We just received a group of jets from Russia and inaugurated the J-20 last year, and now we can put them into a real combat mission in the South China Sea,” Xu Guangyu, senior adviser to the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association said about the deployment of J-20 stealth fifth-generation fighter jet, flanked by 24 Su35 on patrol to the South China Sea disputed waters.

3…………> Russian Eagle: Su57

“We are buying Su-57 jets for combat trials. The first stage of state trials has been concluded. Right now it’s hard to say, because there has only been one flight. Everything seems normal, but as you might imagine, this is a whole range of trials. Many test flights must be carried out. As a rule, such testing requires two-three years,” Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said, speaking to reporters during a visit to the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant.

Su-57 is designed for air superiority and attack roles, and plane is fitted with a revolutionary avionics system capable of autonomous calculations of the battlefield situation to assist the pilot.
