MOSCOW, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Russia plans to supply China with the first four of its ordered Su-35 fighter jets by the end of 2016.
The Russian and Chinese governments in November 2015 signed a $2 billion contract for the provision of 24 of the aircraft built by the Russian state-owned United Aircraft Corporation. Russian state-owned news agency Tass reports more of the jets will be delivered to China in the next two years.
