yes. corporate Germany is totally bankrupt and corrupt. they need these Middleastern investors. Both UK / France/US has been selling there for decades and I bet there will be Germanic parts or industrial machinery used in them.
Not really sure what You are smoking but even if I wont deny this in comparison to other countries I’m sure corruption is at quite a comparable low level … hint, hint a bit further to the East, Middle-East or so !
Amen to this … and the next step is to end the arms embargo against China?
Is Germany that much capable once Persian Gulf join Turkey in military projects.
You mean to keep and hold political pressure to withhold that sale or in military sense ?
All items within your PAK FA design philosophy list are irrelevant to the conversation on SA vs VLO and also considering the PAK FA can expect a 50% loss around 80% of the time in near peer combat before any of those attributes will get to be used.
You really bother to reply to this BS !??? Come on, these guys are playing Quartet or in English “Happy Families” where You are only looking at better, higher, longer, more …
To admit, as long as the political situation does not change, I hope Germany will block any sale of the EJ-200.
Interesting clip of CV-17 construction:
can you say you are honestly surprised?
you should feel honored that your book is noticed and now being copied.
you’re now like Apple.
Yes for sure I am honestly surprised and indeed I’m more flattered since imitation is the best form of flattery since they really copied it word for word. Even more – and especially since some (also here) still don’t think a foreigner can or even has the right to write anything on that topic, it seems as if at least that magazine accepted me as an authority on the topic. :dev2:
However my biggest concern (like Tom Cooper noted at ACIG) is that in a few months a certain US think tank or any other “specialist” like Dave Majumdar, David Ave or any other of the usual suspects finds this “Chinese copy” and uses it for an own publication based on his/her ‘exclusive, first-hand, genuine Chinese source of reference with information of unprecedented quality’ – without ever having even a trace of clue about the origin of all that info … and a few months later it appears at RAND, Jamestown.org or whatever and that cannot even be described as ‘frustrating’ since my publications remain entirely unknown in these interesting circles in the USA as all their reference lists always show.
Anyway, maybe someday …

Funny !!!
Seems as if someone quite diligently copied my book?!

Technically that would be MiG 1.42.
Indeed, I always wondered, why the later serial version would have had a smaller number.
Anyway an impressive design … sad that it did not reach operational status.

Probably one if the best Whif-designs I’ve seen since some time … :applause:

RuAF MiG MFI 1.44 what of operational – by Songbird
FGFA is a JV like Brahmos ….. India can export Brahmos but Russia does export Yakhont.
Its a JV means if India sells FGFA both Russia and India makes money same like when India sells Brahmos.
So there is nothing new here…Russia would still export PAK while India would have the right to export FGFA if that has to happen
IMO that comparison is way off since the Brahmos is surely not comparable in terms of complexity and technology involved.

Then it will never happen !!

Maybe we should close this thread and start a new one with “Military Aviation News – 2017” ??
