60% complete as it says, though this picture has not been updated in a while. We may even see this thing fly pretty soon, probably before the Fighter or the Aircraft Carrier Trainer(which will probably replace the Su-25s)

thanks for the picture 🙂

i’ve a feeling the striker, fighter bomber, jammer and recon version is the same aircraft, just change what it’s equipped with :p looks strikingly like a Su-25.

but wow, the 60% completion of the UCAV version goes to show how the world is moving towards X-45 clones. I agree with Wacho, i see pics of two seater F-15s that’ll probably help coordinate their X-45s and F-18Es probably with their X-47s..wonder what the RUsskis will do.

It does not look like a Chinese engine to me too but it does not look like a modern American turbofan to me either. Personally my first impression is that it’s the WS-9, copied from the British Spey turbofan, which does not have fanned nozzles by the way, much like this engine. The JH-7As don’t have fanned nozzles either.

no need for a pseudo analysis 🙂

well, its hard to find more examples when all vietnam has purchased for its air force in the last decade or so ‘just includes a few Sukhois and a missile system’. :rolleyes:

a point which i have made repeatedly yet u still somehow managed to miss. :rolleyes:

which is the only examples you can provide

thats just sad. :rolleyes:

unfortunately it is sad, it saddens me that you cannot prove your point but continue to post the same thing over and over again. 🙁

that and the fact that i started posting more the three years before u. :rolleyes:

it was funny to begin with, but not all ur blunders are just plain sad. 🙁

are you saying this board had to endure 3 years of flip flops and hypocracy? 😮 now that is just plain sad..

and another flip flop..

this ‘discussion’ has gone off-topic long enough, and i will not waste more time giving out the same answers and free english lessons again and again.

do u have a mental condition that blocks out things u dont want to see or sth? :rolleyes:

i have already given u of other examples stretching back more then ten years.

which so far just includes a few Sukhois and a missile system :rolleyes:

however since u dont seem to comprehend subtilty, i’ll have to make it blunt – raising the same question in different forms again and again while totally ignoring the answers is the most desperate kind of face saving measure there is. so why dont u save urself further embaressment and spare the rest of us more of ur repetative and redendent jiberish and hair spliting and just answer my question, what else have they purchased that mimics China.. or better yet, name some things that they HAVEN’T mimiced from China..still waiting agian.

so well done, u won, u got more free time and is more bored then i. all hail hamburger. now, will u please leave us alone and go bother someone else? :rolleyes:

which is why I have much less posts compared to you ranting on to me, sens, canpark, etc :rolleyes:

well, sorry if the subtilties of the english language is a little too hard for u to grasp. :rolleyes:

“mirrowing china’s military aviation purchases quite exactly”

and I quote from myself again

so mr poo poo, what else has Vietnam bought that mimics Chinese acquisition hmmm? by your logic, Indonesia is also mimicing Chinese acquisition too

thus, I quote to you

well, sorry if the subtilties of the english language is a little too hard for u to grasp. :rolleyes:

unfortunately some people are unable to read some one elses point and is rather adamant on defending their own distorted view while avoiding the main issue, thus filling up this thread with useless posts. :rolleyes:
baad mr poo poo, you no get no chow chow today!

the devil is in the details.

indeed it is 😀

mirrowing china’s military aviation purchases quite exactly

sounds like a detailed way of saying “copy” ..oops I just said the magic word 😮

now now, best you stop diverting from the main issue.. what else has Vietnam copied from China hmm? you keep on avoiding this, you naughty boy you. :dev2:

still waiting for you to mention the Sovremenny purchase :dev2:
