Did IAF’s 'US-made' C-130J Super Hercules that crashed have fake Chinese parts?

[Gessler]

Alright calm down you guys. No one is making things up all of a sudden...the news that US aircraft like
C-130J, P-8A, C-27J etc. were infected with fake Chinese parts came out YEARS AGO.

Counterfeit Chinese parts slipping into US military aircraft

^^ News is from MAY 2012

US missiles infected with Chinese fakes

Apparently the counterfeiting is not limited to aircraft.

The only thing common to all indian jet crashes are incompetent indian pilots and technical staff. Period.

WASHINGTON: India's newly-acquired American C-130J Super Hercules plane that crashed last week near Gwalior has been under intense scrutiny in the United States and Canada after a Senate investigation concluded that counterfeit parts in the aircraft's display systems could cause it to "lose data or even go blank altogether" in midflight, with potentially catastrophic consequences.

These aircrafts were bought with Indo-China border in mind, for heavy lifting in the remote region. Even if this bs is taken for argument sake, then Chinese had made a preemptive strike at heart of indian defense establishment. That is an utter shame for supa powa india. Xi must be ordering special drink today!

India should stick to buying Russian .These days US contractors are known to use substandard chinese components to increase their profit.

You mean the russian crappy stuff like the sukhoi aircrafts that already have many issues and russians don't even respond ? you must be a russian agent to make your ridiculous statement

The only thing common to all indian jet crashes are incompetent indian pilots and technical staff. Period.

You have more crashes just your borg ( chinese govt) never lets the public know.

 

[longewala]

substandard?

our planes don't fall out the sky nor do our navy have so many accidents.

Are you really that clueless about the "safety" record of your J-10 aircraft and your navy submarines?

The good thing is that the entire Chinese military is made out of "Chinese parts".

 

[sincity]

Indian should be proud, their pilot have superhuman strength to bring down the brand new Super Hercules to it own feet.

The Chinese system are much better & reliable to put this sort of cheap false report, see the examples of Pakistanis using Chinese equipment and others, much reliable... far less crash rate compared to Indians...the above is a false propaganda where Chinese had nothing to do anything with American made equipment.

Indian tweets as some US cyber attack on favoring Russians over Crimea is also false, but the real reason is quite frankly the whole world including Pakistanis as the first ones now think Indians as the most incompetent, sluggish, unreliable, unsafe and totally lacking key skills in training & maintenance support.

Also like the M-4 deals.....the C-130J and C-17 at the expensive price they were bought are questionable deals to start with.

Basically, India now needs to buy more American planes, when the World including Americans has successfully put all the blame on Indians on its failure. Americans must come , check and inspect the Indian infrastructure, building, and industries inside out.

 

[ziaulislam]

they should do such maneuvers more frequently.....

 

[qwerrty]

LOL china still flying their c-130s bought in the 80s with no support or spare parts because of embargo. tells a lot about quality of indian pilots and maintenance..

their blackhawks are still in good condition too after all those years of no support/spares

 

[Fahad Khan 2]

Indians have the ability to make every country product shit and in negative light because of there shit training previously blame Russia now USA...

 

[qwerrty]

you can understand why the french refuse to make deal with them

 

[conworldus]

Well I guess other C-130Js that have been flying fine must have no crappy Chinese part. Only one Chinese part was used in the entire C-130J production, and that one piece caused this specific crash. I mean, it has to true, right?

 

[Asian.Century]

Indians have the ability to make every country product shit and in negative light because of there shit training previously blame Russia now USA...

yes.

Its more worrying that India wants MFN status with Pakistan...send shit products and items to Pakistan, expand and flood Pakistan with cheap third rated quality failed products...destroying Pakistan's industry and economy...of course Afghanistan is not far as India want trade routes through Pakistan to Afghanistan....making the region 'CHEAPISTAN' & 'INFERIOR-ISTAN' & INCOMPETENT-ISTAN' as well. ohh well Blame China on any needle in haystack accounts to hide their failures.
