Russian Su-35S fighter at China air show proves Asia-Pacific priority — corporation chief
Super-manoeuvrability alongside performance of radar, optical and electronic warfare systems and modern airborne weapons make the Su-35 fighter the best fourth-generation warplane
BEIJING, November 10. /TASS/. The fact that Russia's multi-purpose Sukhoi Su-35S fighter will be displayed at China's Zhuhai international air show illustrates the high priority Russian aircraft producers place on markets in China and the Asia-Pacific region, United Aircraft Building Corporation president Mikhail Pogosyan said in an exclusive interview with TASS.
“We find markets in the Asia-Pacific region and China important to promote what we make," he said. “The Su-35 display is to demonstrate this warplane's capabilities,” he said.
“Not everything can be shown during the flight program to be presented at the show,” he said. But “it is possible to demonstrate characteristics of super-manoeuvrability alongside performance of radar, optical and electronic warfare systems and modern airborne weapons that make Su-35 the best fourth-generation warplane”, he said.
“All our contracting parties with successful experience in operating our aircraft have expressed interest in this warplane,” the executive added.
