Can Aircraft Sabotaged By U.S At HKIA Be Fixed?

[Falconless]

Was it rise of Communism in China that drove America away from arms sales etc to China or were there other reasons?

Until the 4th of June 1989, The US and China were working together on several weapons programs.
China was the good communist in the eyes of America.

What about the underwear the amercans left. can China reverse engineer that as well? Seriously China does not need to copy everything left behind from the west.
And btw, that is not considered sabotage... US is just ensuring that the aircraft "THEY" purchased for the useless afgan forces does not end up in the wrong hands. Pakistan did the same with ex PAF F-86 back in 1971 which were later recovered and operated by BAF.

Then we and Afghans won the war for them. And they showed their true self to everyone in the region?

The aircraft that have been sabotaged by U.S at HKIA can they be fixed and put back into service? Or could other countries such as Chinese be interested in studying some of U.S helicopters?

For example U.S troops sabotaged MH60 aka Blackhawks but the Chinese are now making copies of Blackhawks. Could Chinese spares fix those birds for IEA?

Cessna 208 I believe PAA has MRO or maintenance expertise for them.

Super Tucano also uses same Turboprop engines as Cessna 208 Caravans.

Mi17 I'm sure any country in neighborhood can fix.

Chinooks and MD530s are the outliers honestly.

Remember how Pakistan fixed sweedeish airey.. those jets were almost 70 percent damage by terrorists

Only tricky part would be securing orm parts or parts from black market

No they cannot, at least not most of them. They are disabled in such a way to prevent them from being fixed. The airframes themselves are compromised, and that’s apart from the fuel lines they’d Have cut, the electronics they’d have destroyed etc.

You can look at photos of them online, they cut big holes into the airframes, destroyed propellers and landing gears, cockpits and displays etc. Not only would you need to replace every part, for which you have no supplier since US isn’t willing to sell, you also need to replace the entire airframe, which again, you’re absolutely not getting, and even if you did, you’d be spending more money to fix this aircraft than it would take to buy an entirely new aircraft of the same capability from say China.
And even after you spent more than the amount of money needed to buy a new one to fix it, you’d have no way to ascertain if it’s Air-worthy given you have no testing facilities for said aircraft and if anything goes wrong, no source for spare parts.

Bottom line is; No, they cannot be repaired.

Those were only airframe repairs. Something Pakistan has the capability to do and did so with the OEMs plans, those weren’t even “repairs” they were full airframe rebuilds At that point.
Any damaged electronic Components were bought from Sweden and only installed by PAC.
