Hey sport , why don’t you spare us the trouble and stop talking about something you pretty much have no idea on, let the PAK-FA talking to the folks who actually know a thing or two about it, will you ? If you don’t even know what engine PAK-FA is using now, and you come here to post some articles from F-16.net (?)and other unreliable sources, why do you bother? Just read , you might learn something. Meanwhile, go cheerlead your “wonderful” LM and do your nationalistic crap somewhere else, thanks.

A thread made by and for your stereotypical China hate-mongers, judging by some replies here…:mad: Anyway, if this deal will be pursued i’m looking forward to it, China will get a valuable boost to it’s defence capabilities until the indigenous 5th gens start coming in numbers, while the russian aeronautical industry gets a welcome boost through such an order. Everybody wins (except the China/Russia haters of course).

Oh and i’m pretty sure the chinese-russian military technology relationship it’s much more honest and pragmatic than what some hate mongers portray it to be (the copy stuff and other uninformed rubbish). Strangely, i don’t think i’ve heard any “copying ” complaints from any relevant russian officials, can anyone prove me wrong?

Yeah, they killed far more civillians that serbian soldiers. They started destroying the civilian infrastructure (bridges, power plants etc.) in a deliberate manner to “kneel” the serbians. They only got a handful of tanks and APCs and some SAMs. Most of them survived, and shot at the americans &co until the last day of the war.

Is that the first time we’ve seen an external pylon on T50 ???

…. or did I miss the memo ???

Well, there was a picture of 053 from i think couple of months back (or more ?) showing these same pylons.

Btw, does anyone knows what is the status of 054? Did it started flying from LII yet? I have read “something” about 054 and 051 on paralay.com few days ago , but the translation didn’t made any sense…perhaps they flew together, or something like that? :confused:

Not only that, look closer. 😉

Ok i give up, what else? I can see the two small antennas under the wingtips like the indian UPG, but i can’t notice anything else. (oh and the GLITs badge)

Speaking of (LM) paycheckees… :rolleyes:

OMG, I never would have guessed that a Block 1A F-35A would have restrictions placed upon it due to flight testing not being done. :rolleyes:

On the engine issue, keep in mind that these are initial training flights and 52 hours by 4-6 hours a week is one change every 2-3 months…..

That’s it, just a one liner? Where is the usual half page of “facts” and figures to “show” that actually everything is absolutely fine with the bestest and the goodest aircraft evah made, from the bestest and goodest and most fairest and corruptionless company evah! Come on general, gotta work a bit harder to earn that Lockh…that paycheck eh ? :D:D:D
