China imported 20 sets of the Sokol/Zhuk-MSF in 2001? Or did someone mix up the Zhuk-MSF and Zhuk-MSE?

The Panda would probably be NIIP’s contribution to the effort, no?

Sokol/Zhuk-MSF seen below.

It’ll be great if the movie has the potential to reach the same magnitude as the AvP PC game series. I doubt it, though.

AvPII had a great storyline, plus the chance to command Alice. Wow- hope they make that into a movie. or Alien 5.

Unless they purchase more quantities, I don’t see the Su numbers rising at a large rate.

Any idea how many will be in the MK3 batch (40?), and when that might be?

They make it sound so top secret with the words ‘secret data’. It was just an insert in the article about the MK2 delivery.

“Sukhoi had by early this year delivered 154 aircraft to China, mainly comprising Su-27SK fighters. Adding these to the newly acquired Su-30MK2s and Su-27SKs built locally in Xinjiang, China, will mean that 273 advanced Sukhoi fighters will be in service by the end of the year”

If anybody bothered to count the numbers from open source data, it would be similar anyhow.

One more from Jane’s AA.

I would not call Slovenia’s equipment outdated. Most of their army is quite modern, and their T-55’s have been upgraded to unbelievable standards.

Which T-55 upgrade are they using?

In field conditions meaning bullets flying everywhere and PGMs raining down? I think reloading would probably take a bit longer than advertised under those conditions.:)
