Let me kindly ask you …

Do your comments has anything related to J-15, Russia or China?
Do they add anything to the discussion at hand?

As I told you earlier, our crispy miscreant started this ridiculous thread for only one purpose, to smear China’s image and stir up hatred. Most of Bacon’s threads are similar. Therefore it is a public service to steer the conversation away from the original topic.

Now let’s get back to India. You claimed that it is in India’s long term interest to “play by the rules” which also includes pretending to be a democracy. Yet time and again, India have been sold substandard weapons at high cost which no other country would take. After you’ve been screwed so many time, is it not time to ask who made these “rules” and for what reason? Ask yourself, what would Gandhi do? play by the rules? What would Jesus do? play by the rules?

since we are on the subject, will Sikorsky receive royalties or fees too? 😉

Z20 is as much a copy of UH-60 as A320 is a 737 copy.

Does the USN openly publish its ROE with regard to foreign warships engaged in shadowing and surveillance?

Whoa, you sound like you are actually proud of getting screwed by everyone.

India has two models of weapons development.
1) “Indigenous” – drags on for decades until the product is obsolete before mass production even begins. result, Babus get fat, the country get nothing.
2) “Joint Development” – you pay a foreign country to develop weapons for you. they get the money, develop their technology base, and keep all the IP. result, Babus get fat, the country get nothing.

the difference between Chinese corruption and Indian corruption is that Chinese babus may pocket some money but the country at least get something too. Indian people are just getting screwed for free, by foreigners, by their own government.

This is in the news. A perfect example. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/india-israel-introducing-mr-sam-03461/
So India paid for the development of Barak-8. Israel is putting the missile into service, but nobody knows when India will start producing it. Basically Indian industry is so backward, it can’t make the missile even with blueprints, and the Israeli point at the contract and say teaching you how to make it is not part of the agreement. That’s what happens when you can “buy latest equipment from anywhere in the world”, you don’t develop your own industrial base, even to the point where you can at least make top shelf weapons when given the blueprints. The French are too smart get into a contract that requires them to teach Indian industry how to make Rafales, because they know how hopeless that is.

Ukraine made some money. Russia didn’t offer a good deal, so the Chinese went to the Ukrainian. That’s how business works. Same with J-11B, Russia wanted China to stick to their upgrade path with Russian avionics and weapons. The Chinese rather put their own avionics and weapons on their own planes. That’s what smart countries do. F-15I anyone? If Russia want to make more money, they should offer better deals with better technologies. You can’t expect every country to be stupid like India.

Funny, I was thinking the UK should do an Aegis Equipped T-45.;)

the systems on T45 are at least one generation more advanced than Aegis ships, on a more seaworthy hull.
face it, the entire rational behind the Z class, stealthy ship with a high power radar system, is retarded.

We don’t get any publications in English relating to actual Chinese exercises or performance. These might be available in Chinese. I’m not sure if Chinese military journals are published or more likely if they’re available to Chinese public.

don’t really have the time to address all points.
just find the Chinese neighborhood closest to you. find a Chinese language bookstore, or even a Chinese supermarket with magazine shelf. you’ll see how wrong you are.
