the T-10K-7 was in non-flying condition at the time of transfer to Russia in December 1991
I think you mean China, we’re talking about the J-15, the cousin of the SU-33 - and all you’ve done is rephrase my previous sentence.
The T10 was not airworthy at the time of purchase by China, it was only bought for evaluation and was already deemed out of date by the Chinese (or in the near future at least).
or planned engine replacement/new equipment according to the flight test program - This does not mean that it was defective or incomplete
Something which never took place clearly by your wording and I should mention yet again I never said it was defective or incomplete, I’m not sure where you pulled that out from.
It’s sad to see the state of Russia in AIR RB at the moment, it’s been a while since I played WT but damn, things haven’t gotten better, FMs are still horrible and now almost every other nation not only has superior missiles but also superior FMs and radars
Excluding the new su 34, other nations have everything better, the only Russian plane that has a decent radar is the mig29smt but the FM is still terrible and the r77 is sad to say the least.
It was bought by China, where the machine was subsequently studied to create a Chinese carrier-based fighter based on the Su-33…Just as the Varyag was officially bought for a casino in Macau and became the Liaoning aircraft carrier…
The non-flying condition of the term is dual, for example, he could “drop a spoke from a wheel” so for this period of time he was in a non-flying condition…
T-10K-7…
Well i don’t expect much from the next update but there’s still a good amount of interesting fulcrum/flanker variants to be added. Hopefully next year will be better.
