Russia to Deliver Su-33 Fighters to China

Russia’s state exporter of weapons, Rosoboronexport is completing negotiations to ship to China up to 50 Su-33 jet fighters for a total worth of $2.5 billion. If the deal is ever clinched, it will be the second biggest contract for export of Russia’s armaments.

- ich setz das hierher, weil:

...The aircraft will be constructed by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Production Association and tested by China at the ground range and at Varyag aircraft carrier that was acquired in Ukraine in 1999 and which construction is being completed now. Russia uses Su-33 only at Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier.

China intends to come up with its own aircraft carrier by 2010, equipping it with foreign jets. ....

... Wie eine den Verhandlungen nahe stehende Quelle mitteilte, will China bis zum Jahresende zwei bordgestützte Su-33-Jagdflugzeuge im Wert von rund 100 Millionen Dollar für einen Flugzeugträger kaufen, der sich noch in Bau befindet. Dabei werden die flugtechnischen Eigenschaften der Maschinen getestet. Der Vertrag soll im Dezember in Peking unterzeichnet werden. ....

Der erste chinesische Flugzeugträger soll 2010 fertiggestellt werden. In Zukunft will China eine eigene Version der Su-33-Maschine entwickeln, in der in Russland erworbenes Know-how für die Technologie genutzt werden soll.

Bis 2016 will China drei Flugzeugträger bauen. Sollte Peking Probleme mit der Entwicklung eines eigenen bordgestützten Jagdflugzeugs haben, könnte Russland mit einer Erweiterung des Liefervertrags rechnen......

Beijing lines up naval fighter deal
By Siva Govindasamy

China set to take two Su-33s for evaluation as first step to potential 50-aircraft contract to build carrier capability

China could buy up to 50 Sukhoi Su-33 naval fighters in a $2.5 billion deal with Rosoboronexport, the Russian state-owned arms exporter, as part of the country's ambition to build up a viable aircraft carrier capability in the next 10 years.

Under the deal, which Russian news reports say could be sealed by the end of this year, China will initially buy two fighters for $100 million for evaluation. These will be constructed by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Production Association.

China has a further 12 aircraft on option and the final number purchased could rise to 50 depending on demand, as well as the progress of China's plans to develop its own naval fighters. Rosoboronexport declines to comment on the reports.

......

China wants fighter jets to be deployed on the ex-Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag, which it bought from Ukraine in 1999 and is being refitted at Dalian shipyard. Although it is believed to be keen to develop its own naval jets, that is unlikely to happen by 2010, when the carrier is expected to enter service.

Beijing aims to have three aircraft carriers in service by 2016 and, if the development of an indigenous aircraft does not meet that deadline, the orders for the Su-33 could total 50.
