China has received the second banch of 10 Su-35 multi-role air superiority fighters from Russia under a contract signed back in 2015, the Russian state-run news agency TASS reported on December 22 citing a source familiar with Russia’s military and technical cooperation with foreign states.
According to the source, “China will receive the remaining 10 aircraft in 2018.” The Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has not commented on the report.
Earlier TASS reported that China received the first four Su-35 fighters in late 2016. That report was also based on the agency’s sources.
