Ok so the sanctions are lifted.

Money is the magic word!
China future Amphibious Assault Ship
Sonar installation on 167
It reported to have a good operation record in the sandy environment of Somalia!
You’re thinking of Antonov, not Ilyushin.
A mix up! hehehe
Ukraine has nothing to do with the Il-76. The Ilyushin design bureau is in Russia, the Candid is built in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Then it may be Uzbekistan who provide some help.The local produce version may not be as advance as Russian one to handle night air ops.Just a thought!
Is China able to construct IL-76 from scratch? I thought not. 😮
Maybe Ukarine got a hand in these.It is highly possible China need to produce its own Il-76! China is impressed by this Cargo plane with huge payload and fast loading and unloading system plus the indigenous AWACS is based on this airframe.Large quantities of cargo and AWACS r needed.In terms of price,self build will be more economical.
I doubt Pakistan will take Flankers, How many types of frontline fighters does PAF wants to operate? aroun 2010 perioud you’d have F-7PGs, JF-17s, F-16s and another fighter incase PAF doesnt pays for F-16.
Maybe the F-7PG retire? China Su-27 will go 100% indigenous in 1-2 yrs time,it is quite possible.
Once they operated the latest in military aviation technology such as the MiG-29 and Su-24 and medium range heavy bombers such as the Tu-16, and now they’re operating Vietnam era Hueys. What irony!
Downgrade?
China IL-76
That one also has been disproved. The Romanian design has a high wing while the FC-1 is mid wing (F-16 is mid wing). The Romanian design does not have canted intakes and dual ventral fins in the rear.
Is it like this? LFC-16 form Chengdu.Is chengdu still working on the project? Any latest news?
Successor to F-7MF
Wow.. can u post some info on it..

A small extract from the link
A further upgrade program (J-11B) may include a Chinese multifunction PD radar (Type 1474/KLJ4?) compatible with PL-8/PL-12 AAM & YJ-91 ARM, Chinese color MFDs and replacing AL-31F with the indigenous WS-10A.
Probably following India’s way.. Russian Airframe and western avionics… :diablo:
Wrong! No foreign avionics.Indigenous!
Where in the world has this thread gone? I started it as a simple comparison of the F-100 and the MiG-19 (with no mention of the J-6 I might add), and it has degraded into talking about what is more expensive, etc. This is ridiculous.
Isn’t J-6 a Mig-19?
