…Btw, Hindustan Turbo Trainer HTT-40 is having its tests and the official first flight is set to happen in days to come.

It would be interesting to compare and contrast two basic trainers that is currently under development, one from HAL and another one from Yak. HTT-40 has already made its presence where as Yak-152K is set to have its first flight in 2016.
Indeed nice to see some progress and even more nice to see it already during lift-off !
BY the way concerning basic trainers under development, do not forget the Chinese Yak-152-offspring, the CJ-7/L-7 which is also already flying.

Armed Hongdu L-15 seen flying for the first time
This particular bird was already spotted in that configuration in June 2015 … seems as if Jane’s is a bit late !
This is roughly as intelligent as to say that F-22, having a classic layout like F-100, is a 60 year old design
Indeed, but You know, the force of eyeballing is strong with some here in this forum!

care to explain what You want to say ??
Yes … two nice aircraft flying in roughly the same angle shown …
I know again my impatience and as such I admit, right now it’s boooooring, so much booooooring … but also interesting.
The question spinning my head since some tome is WHY this hiatus in any news ??
– Is there a new political order given to keep these top projects under a stricter veil of secrecy and these wall climbers obey after some internal warnings?
– Is there simply nothing to report? No new J-10B/Cs or any new LRIP J-20, nothing on the J-16, J-15 batch 02 …. and if yes, why ?
– has something happened? An accident, mishap, maybe even a crash? … but that would not explain the “nothing” on all projects.
– are they waiting for a certain date? … maybe the service introduction and roll out of about 4-8 J-20s fully marked in PLAAF-colours ready for delivery …. I don’t know.
Any other ideas ?

India ??? .. are You sure ? :dev2:
… a bit better …
China is going backward not forward in high tech area. look at outdated C919. outdated helicopters, outdated transport, cant built advance trainer without external support no long range sustain strike ability. Fighters cant carry big ET or big pods. if these trend of building uncompetitive product continues China will have to import a lot of Russian systems. as in couple of years China will not have the labor advantage of building so many products at same time.
AMEN … the mast of all-knowing has spoken again.
I think we can end that debate.
The run for first four (?) Chinese Su-35S has already been included in the KnAAZ production plans for 2016 (?), so I would consider it to be FAR more than just a rumor..
Any info on when they are planned to be delivered ?
