Come on dude - that is no clearly fake it is not even funny. The Russians will have to swallow a lot of pride before they are operating Chinese fighter jets.

Let's put it this way, you can certainly argue about humour, but I find it rather funny to just think about it after years in which China has slowly but steadily passed Russia technologically in actually (almost) everything dramatically, but you still regularly heard wishful dreams of Russian fans, „China will certainly buy the Su-57, because it is superior to the J-20 in all respects“, funny that it actually makes much more sense to think the other way around ... Russia could buy J-20 and J-35, the Y-20B is more modern than every Il-78, KJ-3000 and Kj-600 AEW, and even more clearly with Type 075/076 LAHs and the Fujian!?

But as you said, Russia would rather starve or suffocate than swallow its pride and buy Chinese weapons.

Actually, there's another compromise solution.

Russia could have Chinese aircraft manufacturers produce the Su-57 under contract. They would retain the production of the most critical and confidential components themselves, while outsourcing all other manufacturing work to China. China would not purchase the Su-57, but only provide manufacturing services to Russia. Russia would simply pay China the relevant fees.

These are not core confidential technologies; China doesn't need them, and Russia ensures that these secrets are not leaked. China's vast manufacturing capacity can provide fast and high-quality manufacturing services.

The tables have turned for sure, and that can't be lost on anyone - not even India, who are looking to try and buy Russian Su57E's to try defend against Chinese J-35A's down the road.
