su-27sk been assemble in xinjiang? i thought it’s shenyang.

give me a break, goldendragon, to put it in the chinese way, you have been brainwashed by western media. certainly, there are weak points and defects in russian weaponry, but most of them are effective, if not world leading.

if you read any chinese military magazines at all, chinese military analysts all agree, russian equipments, although sometimes not as precise and advanced as their western counterparts, are still effective and have uniques that others can’t match.

so who are you to criticize equipments that we can’t produce. why don’t you criticize our own defense industry instead? instead of provide with advanced weaponry, it forces us to pay billions to purchase some “junk weapons that are outdated and no good”. unless one day that the russians need to import our weapon, then you can start bashing russian equipments.

digdream:

no way, i am not going to pay that much for a magazine, i can just buy it cheap here in china. 😀

there are so many military related publications nowaday that it’s waste of time to go thru them. so i generally only keep up with ordnance knowledge and that’s it.

arthur:

which j-7 article are you talking about, i can try to translate it, i am not very professional though.

deino:

yeah, that pic does look like it has been manipulated.

sorry to say, both of your magazine pics are fakes. the first one is definitely not an official publishing, the second one is a crappy buffone someone PSed.

crobato:

you been to china? yeah, what u said is true, although pollutions in major cities have been constantly improving, it’s still unbearable. the inner cities are the worst, beijing is also constantly covered with dust blowing from gobi desert.

ok, gents, let me remind you again:

1. this thread is about J10B making its first flight, not about some guy PSed lavi cutaway into J10. and most of all, not about jews are racists and murders while palentinians are terrorists.

2. so the guy did PSed the Lavi cutaway, well, take it as a grain of salt then. who cares about artist impression anyways? haven’t we seen enough PSed pics of J10 in the last couple years??

3. Erez, you got to rest your case on J10 is based on Lavi, so what if it is? it can only blow up your ego or prove your point of “chinese can’t make anything their own”(i remember the japanese started out like that as well). if it makes you feel better and jews really like Lavi, buy the J10 from PRC and put whatever they want in that plane!!! or better yet, get the production license from PRC and name it to “Lavi II” or something. i just really like Deng Xiaoping’s saying, “it doesn’t matter whether the cat is white or black, if it catches mice, it’s a good cat.” let’s be practical here, look at J10’s capabilities, that’s what it matters most!!
