there’s news black out in this year military electronic exhibition CIDEX2006,wonder why?

Latest issue of AI mag. has an article on Greek F-16s, which is interesting enough, but one of the interviewees said somthing very interesting.

He said that whilst the F-16 is a better multi role platform, it cannot beat the Mirage 2000 in a dogfight. Since the Greek AF operates both types and the pilot in question had considerable experience on the F-16 I see no reason to doubt this on the grounds of biased opinion of experience in the field.

Personally i like both aircraft, but since i’m not in a position to give any evidence either way, thought subject might make interesting thread.

correct me,but greece AF Mirage -2000 did actually downed Turkish F-16 ,and 3 pakistani AF F-16 ,may fell victim to indian AF Mirage-2000(and mig-29)

look at the map,in the east,India and China has nuke,in the north Russia,in the west,israel,no to mention the US.
In there eye,the country been “surround” by nuclear arm nation.

iranian technology while not as advance,said china,but not backward either,I recall 3 years ago,i visited Hong Kong Exhibition hall library ,i come across iranian commercial section,surprise to discover iranian capable of producing digital telephone exchange and assorted industiral testing equipment.
according to chinese official comment about the levael of iranian technology,remind him of Chinese technology of 1980’s.

This somehow doesn’t sounds like IRNA and nothing like that is to be found on their site.

Any link ?

It seems to be fake.

drawing of this fighter first appear in JDW around 97(or 98?) issue,the airframe based on F-5,aside locally design fighter aircraft,JDW also reveal plan to reengine F-14 and F-4 with russian engine and avionic.

which country going to buy it? the airframe simple to old.

pentagon is playing devil advocate, If Bulgarian did purchase the super bug,the rest of service,military and civilian got nothing,let face it,the country is simple to poor to afford it.

What are the capabilities of the J-7IIIs radar?
Is it better than the MiG-21MFs radar?

The J-7IIIs produced in small numbers.Why?
In the MiG-21 family, the MF was an important step forward.

What is this equipment under the “404” ?

What does it mean: J7IIA on the tail of the “9501555” ?

The “50156” has two types of air-to-air missiles.
Is this a test plane, or all operational J-7IIIs has these weapons?

As I know, China has just two regiments with J-7IIIs.
The “green-sand” unit with 3006x & 3016x side-numbers.
The “gray” unit with 2500x & 2510x side-numbers.
Maybe it means 2×10 planes in one unit?
Hmmm..really few..

the radar was clone copy of Soviet high lark monopulse radar.
