Brainfarter. Think before you post please.
Just look at the chinese jets and helicopters - everything is based/copied from foreign
aircraft. You call this independant? If Russia and Israel denied to give china Su-27
and Lavi,,,the PLAAF would still be flying those J-7s (MIg-21 copy) and J-8 (Su-15 copy)
even in 21st century.
Almost every chinese helicopter is based on a French/European chopper. Even Z-10
attack helo would never be built if Pratt & Whitney didn't tell china how to make a
civilian engine into a military one.
first J-11B has nothing to do with russian parts or techs``just the airframe``if a fighter jet's origine can be defined only by its looks then every modern fighter jets are copying each other``
and same applies to J-10, plus Isreal denied of any assistance of CAC's 10 projects by 'providing' Lavi to CAC, (but there are documented and singed contracts of various countries selling parts to India to develop LCA, yet still a paper plane and a jole of morden aviation indsutry)
J-7 is a Mig-21 copy``everyone knows that``and also its a vital learning phase of China's aviation industry``(and the difference is we can learn and Indians can brag)
for wz-10, we had almost 0 experience of making heli engines same as india, but we are not india who its industrial and technological capability is at primitive level, so we can learn faster and better (which is always true when compared to brag-much indians)
p.s almost every single weapons used by Indian Army are either directly imported or failed copies
your arjunk is identical to Leopard
your failed AK copy of INSAS forced your army to seeking foreign rifles
your Mirage copy of LCA is still testing
your russian 2K12 Kub copy of Akash
and the list goes on and on
