With the piece of news update last two months ago, personally Pakistan Air force lacks a top of the line air superiority aircraft besides the already well above average JF-17 basic version not counting block II /III.
This will be over confidence boost for morale to equipment supplied by Our new long awaited friend.
The mighty SU 35 is a deal breaker between dog fights of future to air superiority role fighters with our bully neighbor purchasing The French Rafeal of 36 ready of the shelf versions that can be a great problem for country Pakistan.
I was hoping last June when the news broke out the purchase of SU 35 for Pakistan Air force would go ahead & today we are 1 step closer to hearing jet sound barrier braking from a Pakistan Air force flying in green Su-35 as we say in Pa-Russki hirosho comrade da da da !
Pak-Russia talks on delivery of Su-35, Mi-35s underway: Russian Deputy FM
NIZHYNY TAGIL: Pakistan and Russia are in talks about the delivery of Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets and previously agreed upon delivery of Mi-35M helicopters, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister (FM) Sergei Ryabkov said, Sputnik reported.
Earlier this year, a draft contract for the delivery of four Mi-35M ‘Hind E’ combat helicopters was sent to Pakistan from Russia, a source in the Russian military and technical cooperation was quoted by the Russian news agency TASS.
Increasing military cooperation between Islamabad and Moscow would not negatively impact Russia’s ties with India, Ryabkov said, adding that Pak-Russia ties were improving in other sectors as well ─ including energy.
The Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov referred to Pakistan as Russia’s closest partner and said, “I do not think that the contacts under discussion will cause jealousy on the part of any of the two sides.”
The twin-engine Su-35 is a fourth generation multi-role combat aircraft which also incorporates technology from fifth generation jets, according to details available on the Sukhoi company’s website. It is also said to be more agile as compared to previous models.
Read: Pakistan, Russia sign landmark defence cooperation agreement
Pakistan and Russia had signed a bilateral defence cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening military-to-military relations in November last year. The deal had to be followed by another ‘technical cooperation agreement’ to pave the way for sale of defence equipment to Pakistan

More to the point, the most important question is when will Pakistan receive J-20 and/or J-31? We'll celebrate when they are confirmed.
