So~ in light of recent events, some authors in Japan decided to ride the bandwagon......
Japanese mercenary/volunteer v.s. PLAAF over Taiwan. Preview sources
HEREThe A-4 is a Super-Super Skyhawk powered by a F414-EPE afterburning turbofan. The nose looks a tad small for a radar-equipped variant, but since the book is rather upfront about going for an A-4 v.s. Su-35 showdown, I think the author might be trying to primarily emulate the Brazilian AF-1 in terms of sensors and other equipment fit.
The Su-35 is just being a Su-35.
