Hopefully it's just tall talk, if the J-10 is as good as it's claimed why has it had no export success. The Chinese will sell anything given enough money, makes one think why no major power goes for high tech Chinese equipment if it's cheaper than Western counterparts and allegedly is as good...

Also makes the aircraft unstable in flight. Couple that with a fly-by-wire system, drooping leading-edge, dog tooth, a higher-rated engine and a retractable IFR probe and you've got yourself a more maneuverable aircraft. Want to up it even more? Re-manufacture certain parts of the airframe with...

Didn't the South Africans run into center of gravity related problems with the RD-93? Maybe a further development of the 09K-50 combined with inclusion of composite materials in remanufactured components to reduce weight etc. would be a more viable solution?

Mirage 3EA with Australian recce. nose. Not a standard IIIR/5R nose.

IIIDPs went thru ROSE 1 upgrades except, obviously, the radar.

a request to everyone who comes across such videos please report them or at the least don't spread them

officer commanding

No bird bird hit, it hit electricity lines coming down

Nose cones are detachable parts, they can come off easily upon impact

the exit from the loop/split-s whatever it was, was very fast even to an untrained eye, that combined with the low altitude of the maneuver and the fact that Shakarparian is a hill would've left a very very small amount of time and distance for any decision and from the videos it seems he chose...

if the ejection was as late as it seems to some, then he might've been thrown clear of the plane just by the impact

the aircraft malfunctioned but he still went up for a split-s? okay.

Are down ratings only available for mods to give?

Confirmed F-16, no visible ejection, probably stalled or was too low to compete maneuver.

had to be a mushshak with a VERY big fuel load.

eyewitnesses

Older Cyrano II radar and nose cone have been replaced with Australian recce nose cone equipped with I think the Fairchild KA-56 Low Altitude Panoramic Camera. like the one here That'll be a IIIDP with a standard radar-less nose , not a Mirage 5 nose.

One IIIEP is still in service with the 15 squadron, although not in it's original configuration and IIIRP's (not sure which batch) are still active.

what two H-4's there's one each being carried under the belly of a CGI Mirage III.

that isn't an actual mirage, that's a scale steel replica.
