Fun fact: Thanks to its domestic industry, China right now is the largest user of the Su-27 “Flanker” family of fighter jets, in the form of its domestic variants J-11 and J-16, and their imports of Russian-made Su-27, 30 and 35, totaling around 1000 aircraft, versus the estimated 600 total Flankers in Russian inventory, a combination of Su-27, 30, 34 and 35.
