Sigh. Do I need to mention that I wouldn't get involved unless Korean here hadn't started bad mouthing Chinese with his first post? I mean are you that selectively blind?
Does J 10 use composites from Israel? Does it use steered array radar? Does it use F 414s? Does it have a half circle intake? Does it have any air frame similarities besides the delta canard configuration? Yet you call that a copy. That is far more differences then between the LCA and Mirage...
How we generally check links to information and Forums are not accepted? Indians on the other hand take forum information like its from gods own mouth.
You people might edit wikipedia pages on a regular basis to satisfy yourselves but it doesn't change reality.
Saddled with Insas, Army wants new AK-47s - Times Of India

Well your fine with saying J 10 is a copy because it is a delta canard despite being in a different weight...
Sure as I can with Indians as well.
The Insas is a copy of the FN CAL
The Silkworm is retired by the way.
The HQ 9 has antiballistic missile capabilities.
and the of course the LCA mirage thing.
We can go on and on. Indians have only now begun copying due to industrial incapability before.
Type 90 tank is not even in service. J 7s are about to be retired, as well as the type 59. The J 8 is a twin engine aircraft and the Mig 21 a single engine one.
As for Indian copies I can pull those out easily. Chinese copies are close to retirement while Indian copies are frontline newly...
Trying and doing are two different things. India is trying to be self sufficient but has 70% foreign weapons. China is doing with barely 5 %. See the difference?
