MOSCOW/BEIJING — A deal for China to buy Sukhoi Su-35s, under negotiation for several years, looks like it is going through. Russian Vice Premier Dmitry Rogozin says the partners may sign a deal in November. “There will be a meeting of joint [Russo-Chinese] commission on military-technical cooperation in November. I think they will solve this issue there,” the Interfax-AVN news agency quotes Rogozin as saying.
