They just did the very first test on the Y-20 testbed, it takes a while to do more tests, then they have to test it on the c919, then they have to get it certified(which again will take a lot of flight hours), then the mass production starts, its a long process, I definitely don't see the LEAP...
hmm... this seems like a blog thats speculating, they seem to be implying that the plane won't fly with the LEAP engine anymore, and only fly with the domestic engine, but Idk if thats correct, b/c that would mean mass production would be delayed, and they already delivered the first jet to...
@beijingwalker any news on the C919? I had heard they were supposed to have their first commercial flight last month, then something went wrong and we haven't heard anything since. Also any updates on the CJ-1000A?
How is it 15-20 years over its expiry date? lol you act like Pakistan had better options available or something(it didn't, there was a reason Pakistan waited for the J-10Cs to fully develop before placing an order, the previous gen just wasn't at its full potential with a reliance on russian...
Who? Idk what qualifies as "decent"(F110s IMO are decent, and China has likely reached that level atleast older gen models) I don't think anyone said it would take decades, you pour in enough R&D money and with enough time that gap would narrow atleast in terms of building equivalent older...
This isn't the 1980, geopolitics have shifted significantly since the cold war, its not at all a given that Pakistan would be able to purchase new F-16s or get upgrade kits for the older Blocks. I would say as of right now, Pakistan's best jets are the Chinese J-10Cs.
Would be interesting to see how the WS-15 compares to the F135. Anyone got a side by side comparison?
edit: the only thing I could find was this.

Its also good to remember that many of these "messonic jews" are not jews, many of them not even ethnically. many of these guys were just russians who claimed asylum in the US b/c of US laws that allowed for Soviet Jews to leave the soviet union. These people are Evangelical Christians trying to...

I never understood why China invited India to the SCO to begin with considering India's membership in QUAD. It would seem to be a contradiction, especially when the SCO denied the US observer Status.
