keep in mind that i’ve been saying the whole time all along.
It is the Russians making the claims and their fanboys (most of which are Russian wannabes in this page) are just eating whatever the Russian industry says.
If we believe the Russian industry, then they are behind every single project in Chinese aviation lol.
Note that not one person in the Chinese side confirms Russian involvement beyond Engine testing. Its a case of sourgrapes and bitterness.
really bad attitude from supposed allies.
Russian fanbois does not equal Russia as a nation especially the professionals working with PRC. Kamov didn’t release any info until last year. Thats nearly twenty years, since the initial draft which was said to be 1995-96 period. They were most likely under NDA. But it is perfectly legal to release info once NDA if lifted. And this is not some unauthorized copying done by Shenyang. CAC, CAIC, HAIG has actual LEGAL cooperation with multiple Russian companies. Legal business-to-business cooperation. The Z-10 was designed specifically for Chinese need. Z-10 was a departure from the usual helicopters Kamov designed. Kamov is known for co-axial, heavy duty helos like the Ka-50/52 and other co-axial helos like Ka-27, Ka-31, etc.
Do you even remember the $h!++y state the PLAAF was prior to 1991? Now in 2016, just look how far the PLAAF, PLAN, PLA has come. Thats less than 30 years. Almost miraculous. How long did you think other nations took to get to that level. Just compare the IAF vs PLAAF back in 1990 or even PLAAF vs IraqAF. For them to achieve this they would have had to use every trick in the book, including getting legal technical assistance from countries willing to provide it (as well as not so legal methods), coupled with indigenous now-how.
