Sorry, I don’t have details. But some friends are still in service, I’ll try to find some info.

Thanks!
Speaking of Chinese sales in Latin America, there were a lot of fanboys cheering the MBT-2000 sale to Peru a few months ago, and in the end the Peruvian army was also disappointed with the product and opted for other options.

biggest tragedy is was not putting a variant with a new engine RD-93, F404 whatever and a pesa into that thing.

congrats to Typhoons for bagging Oman.
so what’s the chances of the Typhoon beating out the Rafale for the UAE contract? :diablo:

i didnt say italy should buy gripens, i said it could be cheaper than buy more Typhoons (or F-35 for that matter).

I don’t mind buying Gripens :diablo:

Chinese fighter would be good for Serbia
it is cheaper and newer. mig29m or whatever it is called now is an upgrade of a 1970s design but j10 is a late 1990 design! over 20 year differences!!!!
also eventually j31 will be available and it will outclass everything in europe.

politically better too.. china can offer more money and assistance and china understand serbia feelings during serbian war the best.. chinese embassy is bombed too. russia like to say they are brothers but russian do not look like serbia and theyre involvement in the serbian war is more opportunist than real interest.

serbian look like italians but russians are kind of half european half mongolian like yelsin.

china offers very little for serbia.
china is traditionally a supporter of serbia’s greatest enemy. Alb.

In the USAF T-X contest, the horse race appears to be between the T-50 and surprisingly the BAE Hawk, with the M-346 having no strong sales point and not even a decent US partner. Northrop is partnering with BAE, while Boeing is pitching its own T-X model, leaving Alenia Aermacchi to bid without a US partner.

source?

however I wouldn’t be surprised if the T-50 won.. it’s mostly an American jet.

All the help it can get (well, at least the crane has excellent transonic performance).

so much smaller than this plane

its as if you could stuff an F-35 into the bays of the J-20!! 😮

LOL, as expected, this bird just an export oriented product, no way an ongoing PLA project will be showcased in public.

thanks for pointing out what has been said for years.
