are you saying we will get the F-16 vs M2K battle everyone has been dreaming of for the past 30 years?

is the J-16 really comparable to the su-30? supposedly it has a thoroughly different airframe composition, despite being similar shaped to the older flanker

j-11D.. this site seems to think its no su-35

5 years?

do you honestly think the j-16 can rival the Su-35, or the j-20 with the su-57 in terms of technology?

also the exports could be a good thing, at least for Pakistan. they could really use a Flanker derivative

you seem to know well about Chinese aviation

which Russian Flanker do you think the J-16 best corresponds to?
The Su-35? the 30MKI?

supposedly the J-16 has AESA and is intended for both A2A and A2G

the Surion is one ugly helicopter. looks like something made by Poland in the 60s

can China export the J-16, seeing as how most if it is now built in China?

I think I’d give the M2K (especially the twin seater) a slight edge over the single seat Rafale

with Boink being boinked out of the competition, what are the chances of Rafale in Canada?
worth noting Trudeau and Macron are quickly becoming more than just BFFs

thanks for the well thought reply mauggie

now it is often mentioned that the Il-76 was chosen due to its ruggedness and ability to take off from Humpty Dumpty airfields

but how often has the A-50 taken off from such airfields? it seems to be they are stationed and operating from good bases.
the IAF I think, operates it only from Agra, which is pretty clean and normal
