^ question of the day.
Will India buy a Russian aircraft with heavy Chinese input?
European? 5th gen? then there is only one choice lol

although technically, the SU-57 is Asian since its made near the border of China.
There is a lot of Rafale propaganda being pumped into the forum at the moment (it’s nice to see you all so happy).
This whole thing about Rafale being able to plaster itself in EFTs is irrelevant, because the real world need isn’t there (as has been said before).
The RAF decided for various reasons to use tankers rather than CFTs for the time being on Typhoon, which suggests in part that they don’t want to send the fighters off into enemy territory and will use the Storm Shadow to penetrate.
The Typhoon is less thirsty than the Tornado after all.
And suggesting that if the Germans want to work with “us” (the French) then they should buy our fighters as a gesture of good will – is bizarre. It hints at why this project is going to develop as slowly as the Euro MALE.
which is more nuts.
the suggestion that the Germans buy flankers
or the suggestion the Germans buy Rafale?
Turkey Releases Specifications of TF-X Stealth Fighter
LOL, so more or less an FC-31 is what they want to build.
they should just ask China to allow them to license build it.
ROFLMAO
in the past this guy also said
Israel should get Flankers
Norway should get Flankers
India should get Fullbacks
China should get Fullbacks
Mexico should get Flankers
I am sure he’d be more than willing to give up half of Norway to the Russians if the Norwegian AF can order some Flankers.
reminds me of a Russophile version of PLA-MKII
Thanks Toan
Finally my prediction that an Air Force will adopt both the Rafale and Typhoon has come true!
now we can maybe get some first hand pilot experience comparing both lol.
pricing in both deals seem very close to each other. one would figure the Rafale was supposed to be much cheaper.
^^
FC-31 is significantly smaller than the J-20 (but I expect some one here to argue that its not)..
dont think it can afford side bays with out sacrificing space for other things. the f-35 and x-32 also only have two bays.
maybe its not useful for China, but the design sure is what Turkey, Korea, and India needs. but doubt they would buy from China any time soon lol.
well maybe Turkey will since its leaving the western bloc.
^ i am afraid you are wasting your time.
you wont get any measurements from him, like the international posters here who posts pics.
all you will get is just eyeball analysis. its why hes called lazy.
19m guy is triggered
great work from the international members. we got guys from germany, sri lanka, the us, europe, etc providing great analysis on Chinese aviation.
In contrast to our local chinabots who havent done a shred of anything besides throwing random numbers and bashing our international contributors.

dont blame me I found your past claims. blame yourself.
yes I agree
for some reason, the J-20 being similar size to the Flanker really triggered our friends littlenlazy and the other guy, since they so vehemently denied it was 21m or more.
the international community here has been very productive in analyzing the j-20 with out any overly zealous bias.
so the next question is, which has the bigger bay, J-20 or the Su-57
so Germany wants f-35s?
Rip Typhoon.
Rafale and Gripen are probably the only eurocanards that will see further development.
definitely under 21m roflmao

since people are obsessed with alternative facts.. a blast from the past
claims of it being 19m


interestingly the claims of it being 23m also came from Chinese sources
since its roughly 21.5m, 22-23m claim is only off by 0.5 to 1.5m
claims of 19m is off by 2.5m, 2m if you say its 19.something m
