Dude, it will be wise to drop this trolling of yours, it’s pathetic really. What you do is exactly the same as jackjack or whatever he’s called now, only pointed at another country. Please bring us KFX info if you wish, it’s an interesting project to follow, but otherwise please refrain from this embarassing diatribe of yours, we’re all adults here and should behave as such. Thanks.

I am simply correcting J-31 Burrito’s claim that the J-31 is the real deal while the KFX was a paper plane.

It is the opposite in reality; the J-31 has no central government backing and its future is in doubt until it earns that PLA marking to show the official state support. It is the opposite with the KFX program, which does have two country’s backings and the third one is in negotiation. The J-31 isn’t the first private venture military jet in China’s history.

ただ、Ｆ３５はイスラエルが購入する可能性があることなどから「日本の企業が製造した部品が紛争当事国にわたることになり、三原則の理念に抵触するのではないか」という指摘が出ています。

このため、政府は機体を第三国に移転する場合は日本側の事前の同意を得るようアメリカに要請することなどを検討しています。

However, pointed out, “will be part Japanese companies have been manufactured over the parties to the dispute, is not to conflict with the philosophy of the three principles” from such as the possibility that Israel will purchase the F35 that are out you.

For this reason, the government is considering and that if you are trying to transfer to a third country aircraft will request the United States to obtain the prior consent of the Japanese side.

You may heard about the controversy in Japan which would make the sales of F-35 to Israel illegal under the Japanese law.

The Japanese government’s solution is that the US seek Japan’s permission in advance before shipping F-35s to export customers, and the Japanese government will grant the US the permission to export.

Fairly comprehensive in all respects, the KLJ-7 has a similar performance to a late model AN/APG-66 apparently.

Yet Pakistanis wanted to yank the KLJ-7 out of JF-17 and replace it with a French radar and avionics.

What’s up with that? Why isn’t Russia pushing gear at Iran?

Russia actually honors UN arms embargo, unlike China.

And with the right engines I don’t see why the specs given by the PLA itself are out of reach. 200 ton+ MTOW and 66 ton payload. I think in context, payload usually doesn’t include internal fuel.

Because Kawasaki C-2, which has same size as Y-20 and is built out of composite material(same as 787 Dreamliner), doesn’t claim such MTOW and payload.

Neither is Australia or South Korea.

Australia doesn’t fall into any of Japan’s “banned” category.

As for Korea, this country does fall into a “Country likely to go into military conflicts in the near future” category with none other than Japan itself, so Japan will ban the F-35 export to Korea, which doesn’t change anything because the F-35 is all but eliminated in Korean F-X contest.

BTW, there is a weapons procurement policy shift in the new incoming Korean government.

Basically, the new Korean government will fund what they consider to be anti-China weapons first, while cutting back or delaying on anti-North Korea weapons.

This means that the 800 km ballistic missiles(considered anti-China weapon) gets pushed forward to 2015 IOC(Recall that the deal to extend the range was agreed just 3 months ago) and 2 additional naval battle fleets consisting of only heavy destroyers and submarines are funded first, while the MRLS and the K2 tanks intended for North Korea gets funding cut.

The same principle is the reason why the Korean government would not spend a dime more than $9.5 billion on anti-NK weapon system like the F-X, while the anti-China weapons system KFX now gets the backing in the parliament.

what’s so hard to believe about it?

Koreans didn’t buy more T-80U units in cash, unlike the KA-32 helicopter and the Murena hovercraft which they bought plenty more in cash.

T-80 was an awesome tank in its days and the Koreans were impressed by it.. so much so that they had to develop the K2 tank to counter it as the K1 wasn’t enough.

The K-2 is aimed at North Korean and Chinese tanks, not at Russian tanks. Furthermore, it is optimized for a blitzkrieg style mission and not at direct tank to tank combat, as most of North Korean and Chinese tanks are supposed to be taken out via CAS.

J-10 wasn’t allowed for export to Pakistan either thats why they sold them the JF-17 instead.

China Officially Offers Pakistan J-10 Variant
Aug. 3, 2011 – 06:00AM | By USMAN ANSARI | Comments

ISLAMABAD – China for the first time officially offered Pakistan a variant of its most advanced frontline fighter, the Chengdu J-10 Vigorous Dragon/F-10 Vanguard.

Citing defense sources, the offer was reported in the Urdu press here over the weekend. The offer was made during the recent visit to China by Lt. Gen. Waheed Arshad, the Pakistani Army chief of General Staff.

China would not sell them a type 52 or KJ-2000, or Type 99 tank.. they would sell them specifically made monkey models

China doesn’t get the privilege of making monkey models to foreign customers; that’s the right reserved exclusively for the US and Russia.

Neither would KFX..

That’s why Korea’s buying something that will be ready by 2017 in the meantime.

Eastern Manchuria belongs to Korea?

Yes, that is the official government and parliament stance. Contrary to certain Chinese misunderstanding, the country most hated by Koreans is China, not Japan, because it is China that’s sustaining the evil Kim regime and holding Eastern Manchuria.

Accordingly, the KFX’s primary role is to engage in A2A combat with the PLA jets over the Yellow Sea and North Korea, not strike roles.
