of cos! korean cannot make anything on their own
trainer is base on lockheed design!!
helicopter base on eurocopter design!!
tank is based on m1
they need big help from some one else.

bad idea. egypt cannot take care of us airplane. most of the time it is on the ground. so that mean of course they cannot take care of russian one.

china do not care other countrys business so that report is a lie

but i think they should.
philipine is really hostile to china. they even celebrate when chinese tourists got shot two year ago in malina

I would pick a Flanker variant for one simple reason: it’s the logical path to Sukhois T-50. Some resonable modern Flanker now, to establish the unit structure and supply chain and in 10 to 15 years transition to T-50. And if the Americans play nice, add some more F-16.

it rsemble flanker because it is flanker. just like s47 is also a flanker.
but really, not sure if it is best choice. j10b combo with j11bs have more common part than flanker and f16 mix

russian base in vietnam is vietnamese big dream. a base next to china will make tension much higher and invite more chinese navy around the water. vietnam do not want to do that.
russia know better not to upset china and will not do it. that is what havarala is saying.
also russia do not have enough ship to station outside russia anyway.

I hope you are joking as No way in hell will Russia sell a highly secret classified tech as PAKFA to a banana republic like Algeria or other third world countries like Brazil ect, why should Russia sell PAKFA to these countries so US will undoubtabely send their experts to analyze every aspect of this highly classified technology fighter that these countries would be more than happy to give US a detailed look at,no way in hell. Also I would like to know where whould Algeria or Brazil find the money or even close to pay about 150 million per plane especially given Algeria’s great track record of not paying for Mig29 SMT? Russia is not desperate for money like it was in the 90’s and therefore won’t sell sensitive classified tech to anyone,just look at all the secrecy accociated with the new Russian Armata tank program,no pictures of it are even being releses never mind even trying to buy it. Also Russian VVS will buy 200-250+ Pakfa as it is planned as the mainstay and core of the Russian VVS so Russia does not need export sales to keep costs down and all the Pakfa production capacity is needed for Russian VVS so that’s another reason Russia cannot export Pakfa. Also keep in mind that the FGFA export version is not the same thing as PAKFA it might have similar airframe but the radars,ecm and other classified tech is removed and will be replaced with something else. Russia might sell China some Su35S but never PAKFA,why so they will undoubtably copy it ahhaha no.

:stupid:Lol that is the funniest thing I head this month,a vertical takeoff version of a large 2 engine Su 27 sized fighter that weighs around 40,000lb,I whould like to see your design proposal for it,it will need at least 2 large lift engines completely compromising the design and even more absurd you want it to be used of a Mistral class :very_drunk::applause:,a relatively small 16,500+ ton assault landing ship and helicopter carrier. Russian Navy might buy a navalized version of the PAKFA sometime next decade when it most likely be developed for use on a conventional carrier. A VTOL might work with a single engine F35 that is almost exacly the same size and aerodynamic configuration as a Yak141 but not Pakfa

why do china need to buy su35 or pakfa when they can make something better already? do not flatter yourself

Russia owns the engine and missile technology to compete in the theater, China doesn’t have proven resources in these fields yet. China is able to provide J-7 and J-8II reliably, that’s about the extent. Russia has the better trainers and simulators plus both Red Flag and Top Gun equivalents. China does have JL-7A, but it’s more or less an Su-24M replacement with anti-ship and precision strike missile capabilities. If Iraq picked up Su-35S it doesn’t need JL-7A. The MiG-35 doesn’t have the range to carry out long range precision strike equivalent to either one, but it’s no slouch.

MiG-35 is the poor man’s Su-35S. Same missiles, less overall payload and range. Regardless of the choice they need a good R73 and R77 supply. If they opt for OVT they have a good display jet for national pride.

Do they really need Mi-35? Would they be better served with Mi-171 and a light attack helicopter for scouting and escort? They already are getting Apache for heavy work. If they want a squad lift they should go Blackhawks.

if china sell j10 to iraq it will have ws10 engine not russian engine.
it will also have chinese aesa. russia do not offer aesa for export and do nto have any working one yet, just experment models. thats why su35 still use pesa.

j10b is the best choice.
remember jf17 is for pakistan. pakistan want a fighter but did not have engineering skill or human resorce for that and had to ask china to help build it for them.
that is why china dont buy it becoz they dont need a plane design for pakistan.
also iraq is richer, they can afford j10b after they sell more oil.

j10b and typhoon is close choice. but j10b can offer same air to air capability like the next typhoon version with aesa and supercruise
but j10b is better in two ways. first is j10b has more range because it use one engine. typhoon has two engine to feed. second is air to ground. Lybia show that typhoon did very bad in a2g and needed help from other airplane. in reality it can only drop one kind of bomb
