How is the flight safety record of the K-8 with the PLAAF? I know its very good with the PAF but do the chinese also have good safety record?
First K-8 can't be a front line fighter but can be used in a battle specially with its speed it will be an added advantage for our troops to have cover on there heads.
We should have a total of 60, Rest depends on the big boss. Army Aviation has shown a great interest in it as a fighter covering there choppers. Lets see looks like a vice decision if they can maintain atleast 30 K-8 that would be enough to back our ground forces.
Second Like us China doesn't have problems with cash or spare parts they have really changed there way of thinking and have gone American instead of taking the part and reparing it they just toss it and put a new one.
One the other hand our PAF and ARMY Aviation have survived so many sanctions that they have become experts in modifying parts or coming up with new ideas till the part arrives.
