Referring to the Stockholm global Peace investigation Institute SIPRI (Stockholm global Institute for Peace Research), CEPA recalls that between 1992 and 2014 Russia provided China with more than 1 100 Su-27/Su-30 fighters, respective S-300 batteries, and 12 Kilo submarines, which allowed Beijing to modernise the air force and the navy while sustaining the Russian arms sector. The acquired know-how was rapidly subjected to reverse engineering – an example of J-11 fighters or OPL HQ-9 strategy – which occasionally spawned friction between partners, but did not *stop cooperation. * Oh, my God *
