Russia arms China with S-400 air defense systems

Not Su-35, but S-400 incoming ... when such news is true ?
 
You said"can you say JH-17 is the upgrade version of Mig-21?" alright let's say JF17, You can't say it's completely not related. JF17 is the consequence of super saber program, which was based on J-7/Mig-21. Although much more superior than J-7 nevertheless they are relevant. "Copy" isn't bad In a way that you think positively, digest and develop, good gambit. But it's better for us to admit that actively we have learnt from R. 同胞,我知道你是同胞,每个人都有每个人的观点,没必要这么激动:)
see, this shows your limited knowledge of either JF-17 or HQ-9 program```JF-17 program is not called Super Saber (with planned western collaboration), or your called 'continuous plan' which was stalled and cancelled, and then it came with the entirely new project of JF-17.

Super Saber bears remarkable resemblance to J-7, it was clearly an upgrade version of J-7/Mig-21 but with western avionics and engine````however JF-17 is a completely new design has very little to do with Super Saber...I have been following it since early 90s

and in terms of HQ-9, the project started years earlier even than the talks of importing S-300 with Russia, But it was almost two generation leap for China to develop such system, and the time it needed to mature such system was much beyond PLA's desperate needs of advanced SAM defense system! So buying S-300 was the only option PLA had at that time````however, those so called 'experts' conveniently to assume the late coming HQ-9 was a 'copy' or 'upgrade' or whatever name they want to use to label that.

it has nothing to do with 'nationalism' or 'save face', nothing wrong with 'copy' ``````type-59, type-80, J-5, J-6, J-7, H-6,
J-11, type-56 etc these are copies
