Big Blow To Chinese & Russian Air Force As Their ‘Most Advanced’ Fighter Jet Is Being Decoded By US, UK Scientists​

The Ukraine war has seen Russia losing a significant number of aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles. The biggest shock, though, was the revelation that Moscow’s most advanced non-stealth fighter plane, Su-35, had been shot down by Ukrainian forces.

It now looks like it is destined to become a critical challenge for the Kremlin, as its most advanced piece of technology may slip into the hands of the United States.

The secret long-range targeting system of Russia’s most sophisticated fighter plane is being examined by British and American scientists, Express reported. Though the aircraft was destroyed, reports claim that enough of the targeting system remained for a thorough examination.

The fighter jet, dubbed “Flanker” by NATO, was undertaking a so-called Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) operation when it was brought down near Izium, some 75 miles east of Kharkiv, on April 3, as previously reported by the EurAsian Times.

Now, as scientists in the United States and the United Kingdom investigate the remnants of a fighter jet, experts believe it might make a “huge difference” in how the West conducts air-to-air warfare with both Russia and China, inflicting a severe blow to Russia’s military and industrial complex.

Specialists from the Ukrainian Air Force were able to recover critical and previously secret pieces from the wreckage and notify British intelligence. The systems were then taken to the Government’s Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) in Porton Down, Wiltshire, where boffins and two US Air Force specialists spent 10 days analyzing them, the report revealed.

China Keeping A Close Eye​

Considering that the Chinese PLAAF (People’s Liberation Army Air Force) possesses, after Russia, the world’s biggest fleet of Su-35 fighter planes, this news may come as a shock to its military planners. China signed a $2 billion contract with Russia in 2015 to purchase 24 of the 4.5 generation extremely maneuverable aircraft.

This discovery, however, may not only expose systems to NATO counter-measures but may also jeopardize future military sales to other nations, a critical income source for cash-strapped Russia.

That is because they do not know the real story behind the purchase of Russian SU-35 by PLAAF or why apart ffom the 4, the avionic suite of the rest have already been upgraded.
It is undoubtedly a great design.

It is written by a non military journalist from EurAsian and is good for a laugh.

But it is good to know what they are insinuating.

“ever spring”

Thank you guys - "Ever Spring" seems to be Changchun.

However at Changchun/Dafangshen, I have the 1st AR of the Aviation University Flight Instructor Training Base and not Xi'an or any of the known bases under the Xi'an FA.

That's funny. If Su-35 could be shot down by Ukraine, imagine what China will do to Su-30MKI.

They seriously need to put a stop to using high value assets to perform high risk rocket attacks.
