Pakistan orders Su-35 fighter jets from Russia

Russia may deliver to Pakistan a few units Su-35 fighter jets, reported military-informant.com. This was announced by the Assistant Russian President Vladimir Kozhin, RIA Novosti reported.

The Su-35 has not previously been supplied abroad. Currently we are discussing a contract for the sale of fighter jets to China.

The Russian Air Force has ordered 48 production units, designated Su-35S, of the newly revamped Su-35. Both Su-35 models marketed to many countries, including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and South Korea, but so far have not attracted any export orders. Sukhoi originally projected that it would export more than 160 units of the second modernized Su-35 worldwide.
