BEFORE YOU READ MY COMMENT BELOW- Remember the Chinese have the world's greatest guarantor of victory AKA if they don't report deaths on their side, it never happened!
DEAR INDIANS_ PLAAF is a big clusterF___ of old soviet style aircraft technology or reverse engineering of steal/copy/paste philosophy. Their philosophy is based on Soviets's too, more on missiles and throwing bodies at something.
None of the front line aircraft are really tested, or any information is available like they are on our aircraft's. The F-18 BLOCK III Hornet will be a superior, lethal, well-established aircraft, way more advance than anything Chinese have to tackle the seas. Having said that, you take the Chinese (fake claims mostly) to heart, not underestimate their claim, and build your military ecosystem to deter and have counteroffensive capabilities.
US-India Bhai Bhai
Pssst J-15 an inferior aircraft they built for their aircraft carrier is having huge issues.

Well, there’s no mystery anymore, is there.
All that’s left, is for India to find the money.
If they do, they’ve got one helluva fighter jet on their hands — one that will make Chinese fighter jets of the PLAAF, pale in comparison.
According to a report in Military.com, a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet has demonstrated it can take off from a “ski jump” ramp, proving it can someday operate from international aircraft carriers — a big plus for foreign sales.
The Navy and Boeing tested this capability at the famed Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, according to a December Boeing release.
The demo was conducted for India, which is looking to buy new carrier-based fighters that can launch from its short-runway ships.
Unlike most nations, the US operates flat-decked carriers that launch aircraft via a high-powered catapult, Military.com reported.
India operates the INS Vikramaditya, which lacks catapult systems for assisted aircraft take off. Its successor, the INS Vikrant — the country’s first locally built carrier — will also use a ski-jump takeoff ramp.
“The first successful and safe launch of the F/A-18 Super Hornet from a ski jump begins the validation process to operate effectively from Indian Navy aircraft carriers,” Ankur Kanaglekar, India Fighter Sales lead for Boeing, said in a statement.
“The F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet will not only provide superior war fighting capability to the Indian Navy but also create opportunities for cooperation in naval aviation between the United States and India.”
The Super Hornet is undergoing new modifications to give it smarter tactical targeting, improved communications and advanced cockpit displays. Known as the Block III configuration, the upgrades will also extend the plane’s service life into the foreseeable future, Military.com reported.
Boeing’s Block III Super Hornet comes with a larger variety of weapons, extended range, advanced targeting and sensor systems, and better fuel efficiency.
The Navy plans to have Boeing convert more than 500 of its Block II jets and produce nearly 80 new Block IIIs through 2024, Military.com reported.
The new jets’ first deployment is expected sometime in 2022. The Navy accepted its first two Block III-version jets for test in June.
The question remains — can India afford it?
According to Dawn.com, India now has the world’s third biggest military budget, behind the United States and China, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri) said in an annual report.
India’s military spending of US$71 billion was 6.8 per cent higher over its 2018 expenditure. It grew by 259 per cent over a 30-year period stretching from 1990 to 2019 and by 37 per cent over the 2010-19 decade.
However, in terms of GDP, New Delhi’s military burden fell from 2.7 per cent in 2010 to 2.4 per cent in 2019, according to the report, “Trends in World Military Expenditure, 2019.”
India’s tensions and rivalry with China and Pakistan are among the major drivers for its increased military expenditure, the report observed.
Sipri, founded in 1966, is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflicts, armaments and arms control.
