Is this a teaser for the new Russian single engined fighter project? :what: Is this really "Rostec"/ UAC' official teaser for the LFI/LMFS? Here's the video teaser

Today, something very much different and still related to PLA-watching and my work. :blink: It all started with a critical comment on his videos and one more on his Flanker & H-6 story and ended in wild-boar modus :taz: Anyway, the story continued and after I asked him several times to leave...

Just as the title says I think we had some major developments and breakthroughs in 2020 and I'm sure China won't disappoint us in 2021: so what can we expect in 2021 for PLA watchers? My wishes are most of all: - the unveiling of the J-35 prototype - conclusive answer on the Type 003's...

Well, that's indeed a pleasant surprise ... In Russia, work began on a new light front-line fighter MOSCOW, April 16 - RIA News. Research has begun in Russia with the goal of creating a new operational tactical aviation platform, the RIA Novosti was told in the press service of the United...

I must admit, I'm still not sure what to think of this !? ... bat anyway I think it is worth a separate thread since it is no longer the original Tejas: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/if-developed-this-futuristic-variant-of-tejas-could-match-iafs-rafale-jets-2159016

ICYMI, India's principal military aircraft designer has just unveiled plans to design & build a twin-engine deck fighter for the IndianNavy's STOBAR aircraft carriers, placing a future 'hard-stop' to the ongoing LCA Navy program...

The State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China released a white paper titled "China's National Defense in the New Era" on Wednesday. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-07/24/c_138253389.htm http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/download/whitepaperonnationaldefenseinnewera.doc

One of the probably most unique - and barely known in the West - type in PLA service is the XTW-5 WIG (XTW = 信天翁 XìnTiānWēng = Albatros). From what I know - most of all from this site: http://www.eastpendulum.com/chinese-wing-in-ground - it entered service in 2003 within the PLA Border Defence...

Let's start a new thread ...

Since in recent days the rumours are again getting more and more intense, some even speaking of a F-20-variant having already won, while others still take the decision not made yet, I anyway start a new thread. Here are at least a few posts that hint into that direction ...

Just akin to the PLAAF-thread please post all PLANAF-related news here. Just to start with, it seems as if the PLANAF is now also changing to the Brigade system: via: http://news.xinhuanet.com/mil/2017-09/06/c_129696927.htm and http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2017-09-06/doc-ifykpuui1321709.shtml

Guys ... this discussion is useless, senseless ... and IMO already off-topic in the J-20 tread. Therefore I created this new thread in order to separate the on-going and already so often discussed question on the J-20's powerplant from the other J-20 news but also from the engine's thread I...

Concerning the rumours about a next fifth generation single-engine fighter under development at CAC and eventually at SAC too I would like to start a new thread: So what do You expect, what configuration can we expect ??? And as a teaser from my friend Bai Wei a concept (YES, surely fan-art...

I think it is really strange - and maybe also my own fault - that we have several PLN-news threads, two dedicated 001A & 002 carrier topics but none for the Liaoning. If I find time, I will clean and sort out the others a bit ... but I would recommend from now on all related to the CV-16 to...

The title already says it all, since I wonder why there were so few dedicated test-bed concepts by now - I remember the BW-6 FBW-testbed, the J-7FS with the chin intake ... ? - and if a program similar to the USAF/NASA led X-series would be a good idea to explore certain technologies ? Any...

Army Aviation has received its first Y-9 !! :huh: http://army.81.cn/content/2016-12/23/content_7421518_3.htm

Since usually images of these birds are either posted in the PLN- or the PLAAF-threads, which I don't deem appropriate, I start a new dedicated thread for these IMO most important special mission assets. To start with, here are some very nice images, however IMO the KJ-500H and Y-8GX-6 both...

Quite a surprising news: Ukraine sold An-225 and related technology/expertise to China ?! http://business.sohu.com/20160831/n466839986.shtml Sina reports the same: http://finance.sina.com.cn/roll/2016-08-31/doc-ifxvixsh6977873.shtml And now also in English...
