I don’t think it is a normal procedure to show others how far one is with copying and improving. We all know about J10. And we haven’t seen those audits… Some nations just don’t put everything in the windowdressing. Those that do have other reasons.

The JH-7 a carrier aircraft? Yeah, right. Show me a list of “some modification” and it might get interesting.

And it wouldn’t nearly make it a Chinese equivalent to the F/A-18. It’s got far too much range for that :dev2:

And it has much earlier wingfences…:)

Just for info. So it happens everywhere.

IAF aircraft ‘unloads’ near refinery

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 05, 2004 03:45:00 AM ]

AHMEDABAD/NEW DELHI: An Iskra trainer aircraft of the Indian Air Force accidentally dropped a 25 lb bomb at Lakha Baval village in the Jamnagar area on Thursday afternoon.

This is the second incident this year after a MiG crashed in the same area recently killing three people. The IAF has ordered a probe into the incident. The incident assumes importance because the area where it happened is close to the Jamnagar oil refinery.

“As of now, no loss of life has been reported due to the bomb explosion, which took place near the village around 4 pm,” said an officer.

A trainee pilot, tasked with dropping four 25 lb bombs at the Jamnagar range, was flying the Iskra when the mishap took place.

The pilot could apparently drop three of the bombs at the range when the fourth one developed a technical snag. The pilot was then asked by the air traffic control to return to Jamnagar base. While on the way, the fourth bomb accidentally fell off. The IAF has ordered a court of inquiry into the incident and a team has rushed to the spot.

Your poking into Pakistan is totally not justified. The point for not making and buying is irrelavant. Most spares are replaced by inhouse verions if situation is there. Let me give you insight in your childish unrealistic logic. The Mirage has a plastic fueltank in the wings. The cost of this is comparable with the weight in gold. If Pakistan is able to buy second hand wings (aha… Libya) then they can replace those tanks cheaper. Your empty remarks are laughable. We can talk about India in other topics… It is about J11… And stop crying.

Yet one copies and improves everything. And has exported large quantaties.

Maybe comparing between India and China shows the differences. Not for flaming but both nation have the same background yet the present is much different.

Somehow it isn’t the most handy design. And indeed IAF is going to be using a lot of these rugged designs that needed western equipment but the accident rate is pretty high lately even with rugged Russian planes (mig21) and even the French ones (mirages). But that is all to blaim to the producers of the plane… 😉
