More like Seawolf or Virginia style designs. I believe the US is 1.5+ generations ahead of the PRC when it comes to SSN quietening. PRC has a very quiet SSK in the 039B(C?) but not when it comes to SSN. 093A/B are probably between LA 688 and 688i (Just my speculation) while the rest of the world has Seawolf, Virginia, Astute, Yasen etc.

Russia is on par or better in sub tech and it would probably sell its expertise to China.

I thought the sanctions on Russia had to do with the problems in Ukraine, Syria and supposed election interference. China is not involved in any of those AFAIK. Besides, this is military tech espionage. They do that all the time.

The Magnitsky Act was signed into law by Obama in 2012 which was the first salvo in the new cold war.

^Yeah I like that idea too. Russia and China should swap these birds.

Reliance on Russian aviation design prowess has not played well for the Indian’s FGFA. The Russian design bureaus could not pay their engineers in the 1990s so they all quit. For many their income was higher if they drove a taxi cab. When they left, the Russian design bureaus lost the expertise needed to field a workable weapon system. After the T-50 prototype rollout, the Russians seem to struggle with maturing it into an operational airplane.

Will the Russians suddenly develop the skills to help Turkey develop an airplane for a new aircraft carrier? I doubt it. Best to check with Dassault and see if they will sell Ms.

Russian design bureau’s weren’t getting things done in the 90’s..yeah.

The Yak is an interesting idea. The jet didn’t go into production only because there wasn’t enough committed buyers. It was a finished project. All of the blueprints and re for the jet are probably available.

collaborating with Russia on a naval Su-57

That’s a good idea. It looks like, from what bayer posted, that Turkey’s whole MIC is like the Russia model so I think it would work good.

Turkey should have scooped those used Harriers if this carrier was in the works

^Nonsense Spudman. The US reframed the argument to make it about the nozzle. Its not about the nozzle. Its about the jet. The size, the mission scope and the general capability. That was manifested in the Yak first.

It would be fun to see this happen. But unfortunately the Turkish president is making it difficult for the economy.

^Didn’t take long

April 25, 2018 at the Turkish airport of Antalya, the International Air Show Eurasia Airshow begins its work. On the first day of the air show “UAC – commercial aircraft” signed two agreements with Iranian airlines on the SuperJet 100 aircraft. Alexander Rubtsov, president of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, told us about the details of these agreements and the program for creating a new version of the Superjet RRJ75.
