But the report says the machine can fly itself - without need for a pilot on the ground.

Tell me what would be the difference if China license produced all 200 J-11 and then later upgraded these same J-11 to J-11B standard? Would that be IPR violation? Would you be happier if they pursued that avenue? The tech inside J-11B is indigenous tech, not local copies of Russian...

If you don't pay back the debt, who would be foolish to lend to you in the future? Chinas economy is interlinked with the rest of the world. Any conflict would have a knock on effect on the rest of the world including America. Finally, China wouldn't need to defeat the US outright, just...

Not only are there thousands of students from China studying in western universities but there are thousands upon thousands of domestically trained scientists and engineers. China is also able to attract chinese scientist/engineers who are citizens of other countries. China does both and...

and how do you propose to guide a missile at "mach 17" and still make it accurate?

Mach 2.5 Cruise missiles: CJ-10 - In service, Used in 60th anniversary parade YJ-12 - In service since 1999 HY-3 (C-301) - In service since late 80's CJ-10: YJ-12: Other Chinese supersonic missiles: FL-2 (C-101) Mach 1.7-2.0 YJ-83 (C-803) Subsonic cruise, then accelerate to...

Refer to my earlier post. I already explained how there are over 900 fighters inducted since the 90's alone. You obviously don't know history very well do you?! Btw, for comparison, what "Real" wars have India been involved in?

You're right, I don't know how capable the radar is, that's why I said: I didn't say "according to me".

Not agreed. J-11 was license produced. Jian-11 (J-11, Flanker) Multirole Fighter Aircraft - SinoDefence.com Pay particular attention to the bold text. That implies that when the original contract was signed, Russia had no problems with PLAAF eventually using indigenous parts...

Also don't forget Korea and Vietnam against a technologically superior adversary.

The sale of Phalcon was denied, so they developed one that was at least as capable and possibly even superior according to some officials.

Because you obviously know about the capabilities of these planes before they're even officially disclosed and declassified. :hitwall: Also, let's not forget that F-15, on paper, was "far below MKI", but look what happened at red flag. These were built under license (just like your MKI)...

Call that a reality check? Here's the real reality check: @ 0:33s J-7: The author assumes that because these look like MiG-21's that they're all obsolete. Reality: J-7E/G variants are relatively modern (J-7E inducted in the 1990's, J-7G in 2002-present) I'm not too sure on...

If this guy is some sort of compassionate god blah blah, why did it he not free all the slaves and abolish serfdom in tibet sooner? - after all he's supposedly had 14 lifetimes to do it :toast_sign: Could it be that he's just saying all this stuff about freedom and democracy blah blah just to...

All I get is a message saying the clip has been blocked in my region. Any chance of posting the video on youtube?

Nice one. I see they added canards. Makes sense if it's going to operate from Varyag - but original Su-33 could not take off at max take off weight using ski-jump so I hope they sorted this out. I hope J-15 incorporates tech from J-10B - Composites/RAM, avionics, radar, IRST, ECM etc.

YJ-91/YJ-12 (China) - Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems Range: 200 - 400km Speed: Mach 2.5 Warhead: 205kg. Seems as capable as Brahmos to me. Also China has other cruise missiles with longer range and other Mach 2.5+ cruise missiles.

India has been good customer of Russia, but they try to rip you guys off anyway by increasing costs - look at the Adm. Gorshkov.
