Nice model, but i think the nose and air inlet dont look similar..

do you have the original pic GD?? and excellent pic, and yeah nose looks kind of out of place, photo angle proly…

The IRBM threat is not the only thing, they have to worry about Katshuya rockets as well i suppose. I swear ive read some place that isreal has a laser system in place that can destroy a Salvo of rockets before they do any harm.

They are working on it, and just like almost all the Israeli projects (including Arrow), Americans are paying.

and Scud is cheaper than Arrow, and god Scud has an acuracy upto what 2.5 km??? now even if Arrow misses Scud, there are high chances Scud will miss its target.

our point about the X-4?? helo from the 1960s is moot. For comparison the first supersonic aircraft designed in Asia was the 1950s HAL Marut… both data points are meaningless since they don’t show present capabilities.

Not meaningless, see one member pointed out Chinese Aviation Industry kicked off much earlier than India, seems like Indians could have had edge in 50s?? Not only its gone, but now they’re behind.

For example:
Would China (or Pakistan or anyother country), if given the option, fight with the FC-1 or the Mirage -2000 5? Certainly the later

replace FC-1 with LCA …and you’ll see an AF shopping for 120+ M2ks, and on the other hand..I guess 40 or so LCA are on order.

Also Freter, this is not the post for LCA, Take it to another post, because now you just gave some ppl a license to flame. Hope you understand, Lets settle other issues in this thread, not start new irrelevant ones.

now..how different a Shahab is from Scud (or is it SCUD?)

Offcourse more tests are needed to completely secure Israel from Iranian Missile threat.

GD ;), Completely agree with you, China can certainly make Superior Avionics and at cheaper price too ;), Avionics would be good enough then 🙂 , no worries on this issue for FC-1 anymore 🙂

Chinese can certainly build good avionics, those days are gone when they were offering very obselete radars when we bought F7s. JF-17’s radar is more likely to be downgraded version of J-10’s radar. By downgrading, I mean power requirements and size, not the capabilities, and the J-10’s radar is liekly to be superior to RC400, not sure about Grifo S7, PAF will choose whats best for PAF. Be it Chinese or western, offcourse we want full ToT ;), and by choosing a Chinese radar, PAF gets a step closer to J-10. India can build good enough avionics indegenously, expect Chinese to be on par or better.

urmm..I’m back repeating same old bs again…;) ….seriously..why dont you guys do it in X-planes..or go step further and integrate the models into the game…I mean..J-10.cm’on.. ;)..okay we can name it J-10 GoldenDragon to motivate someone 😉 😉
