MOSCOW, September 7 (RIA Novosti) – Moscow and Beijing expect to seal the deal on the sale of Russian Su-35 fighter jets to China in 2014, a senior official at the Russian arms exports monopoly said Saturday.

“Talks are ongoing, but the deal is unlikely to be sealed before the year’s end. The signing will most likely take place next year,” said Viktor Komardin, deputy head of the state-run Rosoboronexport.

“Chinese negotiators are discussing the technical outlook of the plane,” Komardin told RIA Novosti.

He did not say how many multirole fighter jets China wants to buy, but added that Beijing is also interested in purchasing ordnance for them.

“There will definitely be integral weapons, but we’ll be discussing external weapons,” Komardin said.

“They want new types of weapons that we have, including from the [Moscow Region-based] Tactical Missiles Corporation. But that’ll be a separate deal,” he said.

Negotiations about China’s purchase of the Russian Su-35 – a deep modernization of the Su-27M, the current staple of the Russian Air Force – were opened in 2010, but frozen last year.

However, Rosoboronexport head Anatoly Isaikin told a group of Chinese pilots during the MAKS airshow in Russia last week that they will “soon” have the opportunity to fly the Su-35.

    In the military field,the US is far superior to China in all all ways. The PLA know they cannot surpass the US in any way but rather to make it costly or unattractive if the US were to initiate an attack. The US by its deeds has shown it will be prepared to act militarily.
    In terms of military hardware,ranging from planes to nw,the PLA are outclassed.
    The problem is if the US were to engage in hostilities with China,it will encounter a different enemy.First there will be no sanctuary for US forces and bases.Btw,the word sanctuary was used in Korea and Vietnam when US forces were permitted to attack beyond Korea and Vietnam ie China.Secondly ,if the US were to launch a conventional/n strike on mainland China,the US mainland better be ready for massive damage/ destruction by PLA forces.I know the US will prevail.
    In such a scenario,the r war wont be military . It will encompass all fields. The Chinese could dump the US currency making it worth nothing except the piece of paper.
    As time goes on ,the PPLA wont close the gap but the destruction capability of it will increase whether US installs missile shield,rail gun,laser beam,etc.
