    relax westernphobe.
    I’m quite sure there are many chinabots staying up all night playing the game having orgasms blowing up the Japanese.

    I’m not westernphobe, i love western peoples and culture, very kind, very polite, very educated, very humanist (except the few traitors serving certain country’s interests of course). But i guess you can call me a “yankeephobe” if you wanna categorize me as a “phobe” of some kind. Big difference.

    Mi-35M picture.

    Does anyone here have contacts at the Rostov-on Don factory , did you heard any rumours about when the first iraqi Mi-28NE are supposed to be delivered by any chance? Thanks.

    If you ask Mr. Paralay very nicely, he might show you a very interesting desk top model in the MD’s office of a certain missile design bureau.

    I am asking Mr. Paralay very nicely 🙂

    I’ll try an update in regards to planned/negotiated future acquisitions primarily for AAF, based on recent articles and well informed algerian forumists:

    There is in negotiation (if not part or all already signed) another big contract with Russia, possibly containing as much as:
    36 Yak-130 to be used as COIN (on top of 16 delivered)
    42 Mi-28s likely at a standard similar to UB- with double controls.
    More Su-30MKAs, but this time in a standard similar to the russian SM, there is an option for a further 28 from the big 2006 contract likely to be exercised.
    At least two squadrons of Su-32 (export Su-34) – at least 32 of them
    Several batteries of S-400
    Tor (likely latest types) SAM systems
    180 T-90MS tanks
    BMPT armoured vehicles
    Project 20380 corvettes
    Late model Kilo (or Amur?) submarines
    Bastion-P coastal defence systems.
    etc etc.
    They are seemingly also interested in An-70 and An-140.

    From the western countries, they are likely to buy a number of C-17s, they have tested the A330MRTT already and allegedly are also interested in the KC-46 (they are planning to replace Il-78 with either). Also they are searching for a suitable AWACS platform with the Boeing B-737 Wedgetail mentioned, and there is perhaps interest in the CH-47, or at least Boeing appears to hint as much.
    The MMRCA decision has been postponed a few months, it is speculated is that it might be a western type (JAS-39 or Rafale? Typhoon and SH offers were not suitable as i understand) selected to replace the MiG-29s.
    Finally, they are interest in the UAE Yabhont UAV, and possibly already acquired a number of chinese armed UAVs (Wing Loong/ Pterodactyl?) for use against AQ terrorists.

    It might not be 100% accurate, and time will tell which acquisitions will be fully implemented and which ones perhaps not, but still it looks pretty damn impressive innit? Oh btw all these plans are backed by a considerable increase in the defence budget.

    Funny how all the raging sinophobes and/ or sock-puppets cluster over anything having to do with China like this topic trying to flood it with their “view” and present it as the “only one” (look it up, standard modus operandi of CIA/NSA sock puppets), yet one thing is very strange: none of the so called chinabots we’re supposed to have here posted one word in this topic, you would think they will be all over something like this. Strange innit ? Not if they are based in Langley though. (get it ?)

    In regards to the yanks sending their stealth aircraft in the ADIZ (and holding the japanese by hand in the process), sure go ahead, this will be an excellent opportunity for the chinese air force and air defence to measure and calibrate the effectiveness of their measures planned to be taken against the stealths in case of US attack. Go ahead, make their day …

    A lot more shots of 131 here:

    Regarding any potential upgrades apart from comm/IFF equipment and probably GPS, and POSSIBLY a MFD replacing the old radar screen- but until confirmed or infirmed no idea- i won’t expect much more than that. I think the most the factory offers is integration of R-73 but i don’t think Croatia has them, right?

    Yes, indeed it doesn’t, the export model does not have the vortex generators nor the dogtooth. The visual difference is the extra pair of dielectric apertures on the wing glove leading edge (bigger inside ones, white coloured- they are for SPO-15LE RWR). There are two on each glove on MLD whether russian or export while only one each on previous models (ML, MF etc.)

    Actually export MLD, might be ex-bulgarian one. Can’t recall who was supposed to be the final recipient , but i think they were impounded in Ivory Coast or something like that.
