    95% certain it is J-15/Su-33 deriative. Dunno what else it could be..

    Why are You so sure about a J-15 ???

    Concerning the text in that report it came down at Taizhou …

    Firefighters work to put out a fire in a factory in Taizhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province after a fighter jet crashed there on Wednesday evening, May 11, 2016.

    The closest base to Taizhou is Huangyan/Luqiao (ZSLQ) also known as Taizhou (Pos: 28°33’45″N 121°25’44″E), where the 4. Naval Division, 12. Ar equipped with J-10AH/SH is flying.

    An interesting insight into the CH-5 drone.

    Indeed interesting, but this is not the CH-5 but the WingLoong / Pterosaur, which is in PLAAF service as the GJ-1 or WD-1K.

    I don’t know … but You are again correct. A L-15-based design could be possible … but why then all that mess and not directly buying a Chinese design ?

    Here a twin-tail L-15-design (fan-art)

    Russian sources call it the LBL

    http://www.1492news.com/images/news/news_view/39283fd3d4cf4fb03019e0acd6227646.jpg

    this picture was shown to the chocolate man. aimed to be a replacement of the mig-29.
    anyone got more info?

    it being two engines seems realistic, probably a derivative of the AL-222. two of them can likely give decent power to a gripen sized aircraft

    Intersting find … to admit, I’ve already seen this image a few days ago, but did not know what it should be …

    Could be this one:

    However IMO and given Ukrainian’s current status I think a cooperation with a Chinese company or the acquisition of Chinese types is more promising.

    That looks fake as hell. I would love to be surprised, but not exactly holding my breath either.

    Ohh … how much I hate these guys ! You are correct !

    Im not confused.

    1. The island is disputed.

    2. There is substantial reclamation on the island. Regardless if we have a island or not ocean was reclaimed, so my point stands.

    3. We have had advanced weapons placed on the island’s in an intimidating manor. We have had attempts at intimidation regardless if the U.S. is present or not. I do recall that oil rigs have been positioned, fishers harrassed, and even nuclear war threatened with or without the presence of the U.S.

    I don’t know if your towing the party line, insulting our intelligence, or simply re-writing history.

    The funny – or in my eye annoying thing here is only that in the Western media islands and features are called “Disputed” only if China is in actual possession of a certain feature … in other cases these islands are simply called Vietnamese or Philippine’s territory or what about these Japanese/Chinese disputes, where China says it is a dispute – even my historical record – and Japan now simply ignores it ?

    It’s exactly like Blitzo explained

    Woohoo, finaly, at last the first flight of T50-6-2!

    May the next couple of prototypes appear soon aswell.

    Indeed, hopefully but at first let them test this thing and then … and given the latest track-record I won’t put my hopes too high.

    But first of all: show us a picture of that beast !

    Any pictures of the twin seater?

    This was from the Paris Airshow …. and I hope they modify the design; IMO it is simply ugly.

    It looks like…6th!

    To admit, the image is impressive … but what makes You think this is no. 06 ??

    There are simply none !

    It is a technology demonstrator, not a proof-of concept for a true fighter.

    The landing gear is fixed on a demonstrator ?

    Surely not, but it is not so much uncommon to leave it out for the first flight…
