What’s his point in that comment? That a guy with a whole lifetime in a defense career is biased? Lol
36 years of experience and he thinks the MiG-17 is faster than the F-4?
The J7 and J8F are flankers? The PL15 is Russian? Liming is Russian engine manufacturer? Type 1493 and KJL radars are Russian?
No way you called them flankers
At altitude below 25k ft it kinda is
Thats represent like 30% of 100% Chinese made.
Everything else is based upon a russian equipment who, crazy enough, couldn’t even get sale like the russian one.
( looking at you cheap copy s300 )

heck a bunch of J-10’s still use the Al-31
How does that make them flankers?
And China has somehow modernized more than Russia since 2004? Kinda crazy. This is a lot of work to say “Russia can’t compete with modern industry and economics even with her allies”
Same as jf17 using migs engine
Idek what you’re talking about tbh. I was responding to a guy who called J7s and J8s out while discussing flankers. Please read
so when are you going to respont to when i read your source?
And Russian avionics right? Oops! All French for a reason
so china cant even make avionics themselfs and has to use french ones instead
It was a joint production between China and Pakistan. Pakistan wanted French avionics because they operate the Mirage and wanted interoperability with NATO weapons. Don’t be dumb
So no one want’s Chinese avionics ?
Egypt does. Azerbaijan does. Pakistan themselves do and operates Chinese avionics.
they settlet for chinese ones after they couldnt get the Su-35 due to sanctions
so china was the 2nd best option
All ?
Screen for the cockpit represnt all the plane now ?
- j15 is all russian equipment bcz it uses al31 * ahh argument
We do not care. Russia should play the game better if they don’t want to lose
