Or
3. Was it bought on heavy discount/price cuts?

Russia’s advanced Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E is also making it debut at the Zhuhai airshow.

What is new in the Su-35? First off, the fighter will get an improved airframe, which will dramatically increase its service life to 6,000 hours, 30 years of operation (the time before the first test and recondition and the between-repairs period has been increased to 1,500 hours, or 10 years of operation). Aerodynamically it is similar to the Su-27. But unlike the Su-30MKI it will feature no canard fins. All the three channels will have electrically signaled control without mechanical cabling. The use of a new integrated control system (developed by MNPK Avionika Moscow-based Research and Production Association) simultaneously performing functions of several systems – remote control, automatic control, limiting signals system, air signals system, chassis wheels braking system – will enhance the fighter’s handling capability and maneuverability.
The Su-35 chassis has been reinforced because of the increased takeoff and landing weight of the aircraft. For the same reason, the front bearing has two wheels. The improved radar stealth reduces the reflectance of the Su-35 in the X radio waveband and in the angle range of ±60°.
Power Plant.
Another important feature of the Su-35 is the use of new engines 117S with an increased thrust. Those engines, known as 117S, have been developed by NPO Saturn Research and Production Association.The 117S engines will be co-produced by Ufa-based Motor Building Association and Rybinsk-based NPO Saturn Research and Production Association.
The core of the Su-35 armament is a new radar control system with a phased antenna array (Irbis-E). Irbis-E radar control system detects and tracks up to 30 air targets, retaining continuity of space observation and engaging up to eight targets. The system detects, chooses and tracks up to four ground targets in several map-making modes with various resolution at a range of up to 400 km, without stopping to monitor the airspace.
Armament
In addition to the armaments onboard the modern Su-30MK, it is planned to additionally arm the Su-35 with new types of air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, including long-range types. The maximum ordnance load of the Su-35 is 8,000 kg. This is placed in 12 weapon stations.

The Su-35 the front bearing has two wheels.

A 1: Congo has its own reputation to cover as well. Few in this world is like India, FYI.

A2: Could be in exchange for some of Congo's natural resources. (China doesn't accept cow dung as any form of payments - don't you get any ideas.)

A3: No. Heavy discount/price cut is only for desperite cheap clients such as India.

A4: Yes. But, chill out, you might be able to reach such a profitable price 500 years from now after you become supapawa.

:cheers:

I have taken the pledge that regardless of the personal insinuations against me and my country, I will not react or comment. I will always try my best to be friendly towards Chinese. I hope some day you will understand my sincerity.

And about the jet, I googled. The reports are that Congo bought them.
Since, I am a new member here, I can't, yet, post links. So just search "Congo ARJ 21" in Google News.

(I can't understand why new members aren't allowed to post links, but it maybe to avoid bots or something)
