At least 1000 PAK FA fighters will be manufactured until 2050
​

According to the forecasts of Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade (CAWAT), at least 1000 PAK FA fighters will be manufactured in the network of production program by 2050. The expected order of Russian air forces is 200-250 aircraft, Sukhoi Company reports. AEX.ru

At present Russia and India are taking part in PAK FA program. The Indian order, already announced by the officials of its armed forces, is assessed at 250 jets.

Among the possible customers of PAK FA’s export variant are: Algeria (approximate period of deliveries – 2025-2030), Argentina (2035-2040), Brazil (2030-2035), Venezuela (2027-2032), Vietnam (2030-2035), Indonesia (2028-2032), Iran (in case embargo on deliveries of arms is removed, 2035-2040), Kazakhstan (2025-2035), China (under the specific conditions, 2025-2035), Malaysia (2035-2040), Syria (2025-2030).

The total potential order of these countries is assessed by CAWAT at 274-388 jets.

The geography of fifth-generation Russia-India fighter’s export may appear to be significantly wider, for example, by means of CIS Region. It is also possible that some countries from Western Europe will become the PAK FA’s export variant customers when it will be adapted to their requirements.

According to the experts of CAWAT, the claimed aircraft performance of the new Russian fighter corresponds to the state-of-the-art American F-22 air superiority fighter.

In starting, India (250) and Russia (200-250) will induct by 2030. After that, Export for other country will take place.

And why are you surprised exactly? Both Russia and India have always enjoyed warm relations with the Arab world.

I think the reason for China purchasing them from Russia is to meet the PLAAF requirements. The PLAAF purchased SU-30s from Russia, and they still serve well.

Mass producing engines with up-to-date technology is not China's greatest strength. That is why the JF-17 and J-10Bs are equipped with Russian engines. However, the J-10As and J-11Bs are powered by Chinese engines. It is just that their factories are unable to meet the demand. So it is more cost effective to buy engines and aircraft from Russia.

China still has a lot to learn from Russia.

The main reason, i think, china is not good at mass producing up to date engines is that china has not entered a cold war before like russia, which built up their military capability and technology during the cold war
