Russia, China Discussing Draft Contract For 24 Su-35 Fighters

Russia expects to sign contract with China to sell 24 Su-35 Fighter jets by late 2015.

"We are holding talks with our Chinese partners on agreeing a draft contract for the supplies of fighter jets," deputy director general of Rosoboronexport, Ivan Goncharenko was quoted as saying by TASS ahead of the MAKS-2015 air show Monday.

There is a growing interest for the Su-35 multirole fighters, including in Latin America and Southeast Asia, he said.

"Su-35, like the new MiG-29M/M2, allows Russia to hold leading positions steadily on the market of combat aircraft in the future," Goncharenko said.
