“It does have the look of defection with all the guards but it is a J-6/Mig-19.”

well then maybe its a defected J6? cos those guards in the pic sure as hell aint dressed like NK soilders, and when was the last time u saw officals wearing a western suit in NK?

i think it would be more in the XXJ catagory. but its unlikely that the real XXJ will look as ‘radical’ as that. 🙁

congrats!

“JH-7’s heart is Rolls Royce Spey Mk 202 engines aka ws-9. Avionics is russian stuff copied. Design, i am not sure because Chinese are lil secretive on these part (unforyunately FBC-1 was a surprise induction), only Chinese know if its truly self made or copied stuff being labelled as self made.”

WS-9 might or might not be spey copies. even if they are, they’re rather ‘interesting’ copies as they will have more thrust then the original.:rolleyes:

as for the avionics. well why dont u name the radar of the JH-7 and the russian radar it is suposed to be a copy of?

so please tell me, if ‘only Chinese know if its truly self made or copied stuff being labelled as self made’ how can u be so sure that everything chinese is a copy of sth else? :rolleyes:

from what u have written so far, it looks like u are trying all u can to ‘prove’ that chinese designs are copies with little or no evidence to actaully back it up with. so unless u can do alot better, stop wasteing bandwidth with nationalistic BS.

“PAF would love to have 30-40 odd IDS Tornados to form two strike sqds…..

Right now we rely on single seat upgraded Mirage 5s for Strike/attack duties….”

a little off topic, but the PAF would be much better off (and more likely to get) JH7s with western avionics and radar. but as of now, i dont think strike planes are that high up on PAF’s priority list.
