you mean like these fine helicopters?

if given the chance, China would rather import French fighters instead of Russian, then make copies and variants of those.. just like they do with the helicopters

What is the basis for assuming the Chinese would rather have imported Mirage 2000s rather than Flankers?
None.
And helicopters? They seem to like the Mi-26, since there is nothing French that is comparable.
Apparently Mi-8 is doing its job too, no copy in sight.

Mi-26 doing what no other chopper can do.

the Russian are still behind the European in other aspects like electronics.

What kind of a general statement is that?
What Europeans? What Russian systems?
In the context of modern combat planes, where is this inferiority?

I’m sorry but general statements like that don’t hold up much.
Unless you want to compare the entire electronics output of all the European arms manufacturers to Russia alone….and thats pointless and silly.

Thanks buddy for the link. But small confusion in their report also…below the translated version

If the said 7% increase of thrust is from the old RD-33, then they are talking about the “original” RD-33MK Sea Wasp.

i.e 7% increase in thrust from the older 83kN thrust engine would be 88.8kN.
If the engine for Russian Navy MiG-29K is with a 7% increase in thrust from the “baseline” RD-33MK Sea Wasp, then it is going to be an engine with 95kN thrust! 😎

I hope the news is solid and the next batch of 29 x MiG-29Ks meant for Indian Navy also comes with this new RD-33MK engine.

Yeah it is a bit confusing. What makes me think this is 7% over the already up-powered Sea Wasp, is the implication that this particular variant just entered testing. Sea Wasp is already inducted and well in service.

What a bunch of blithering idiots. Can’t the clueless, idiotic Russians see what’s inevitably going to happen? That vacant, evil, stupid looking moron Assad is going to be trapped in a stinking drainage ditch and get bludgeoned to death someday, and he’ll deserve it just like his retarded cousin Gadafi did. And the Syrian people ain’t gonna forget who helped him decimate them before he was put down like the mangy, rabid dog that he is.

Reported, for being an idiot.

And I sure hope you are just as outraged at great powers supporting unpopular and oppressive government every time it happens.

Some not so good news, with Malev dying, that’s quite a few Superjet orders gone.
