Have to throw in with Gautam on this. Last report I read said China has bought a total of 78 Su-27s that are currently in-service, a multi-year buy. Just 78. Compare that to the number of F-15s the US has (educated guess: 1500). Hardly a vast or overhwelming number. So small, in fact, that the amount of quality airpower the US could bring to bear would mean that those fighters would be effectively neutralized before they ever took off, similarly to the effectiveness of Iraq's MiG-29s in GW1.
Russia will sell arms to anyone willing to buy, IMO.
