Russian media: China will provide J-35 to countries that cannot buy F-35!
The fifth-generation fighter is the cheapest one, the Russian Su-57.
On July 13, Russian media published an article.
The Chinese J-35 stealth fighter is not only a new military achievement, but also a powerful political tool.
J-35A made its first flight in September 2023, and it is designed for aircraft carriers. It is the second fifth-generation aircraft from China after the J-20, which is subject to export restrictions.
It is reported that Pakistan has proposed to purchase 40 of these planes.
In addition to the J-35A, the company also promotes the 4.5th generation J-10CE fighter jet, an aircraft already in service in Pakistan.
A good example is Saudi Arabia. Due to the inability to purchase the American F-35 and concerns about the conditions for aircraft sales, Riyadh may consider the Chinese J-35.
The United States has refused to sell its latest F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, as Washington has a legal obligation to maintain Israel's high-quality military advantage in the region.
Although it is reported that China has provided 40 planes to Pakistan, there is still no confirmed export contract.
It is reported that Iran and Thailand also have interest in the J-35.
Based on technical analogy (mainly F-35 and China's J-31, considered the predecessor of J-35), experts have made the following assumptions about the price of the plane - 80 million dollars.
As a reference, the cost of the cheapest F-35A version starts at 110 million dollars. The Russian Su-57 is the cheapest, ranging from 35 million to 50 million dollars, but this is the domestic price for the Russian Federal Ministry of Defense.
