they do they bought 48 spare 117 for Su-35s and they bought 1000 Al31s of course lick your wounds, Russia is already flying T-30s on one Su-57, if China has something better why do you buy Su-35? of course in the land Alice in wonder land was charity, specially as an old IL-76 can be re-engined...

yes and Chinese are, so they buy Russian engines because lack of better engines of domestic origin

in order to answer you will need to be open, Lavi and J-10 have differences as well as similarities, that will tell you how much they share in common and how much Lavi influenced J-10 The differences are in intake type and wing planform, J-10 has a pure delta, first because it is a pure air...

I am rather cold and honest, I am not a propaganda machine like you that needs to twist and l lie a record with embellished accounts for Chinese guys who live in the west like you do, there is nothing bad about the J-10 having some Israeli tech and Russian assistance, fools like you feel ashamed...

a Pilot knows how fly aircraft, not make them, Cong knew how to build aircraft, in Israel spoke how to build them but still propaganda machines like you can not understand that difference, any way the Americans reported the Technology was passed and so the Russians, continue with your...

IAI Lavi had tech from Grumman and China is famous for copying from cars to Lavi, to American flags to Su-27s or you named piracy is a chinese cultural trait, they just renamed it. Speys engines later become domestic, same Russian engines same J-15 called chinese product what a joke for a reason...

when you understand why J-10 has such ventral fins larger than IAI Lavi you will see there are aerodynamic connections, but i never said is a clone, I clearly said it is Chinese technology, since an aircraft has many equipment that requires many suppliers, but it has direct IAI input something...

tell me what is doing J-10 main designing team besides a Lavi when it is know the US forbade re-export american tech to China after Tiananmen square, you lack common sense, for Chengdu design tean be around a Lavi was not allowed by USA companies like Grumman which was one of the main suppliers...

too childish example, Chengdu developed with Chinese research the aircraft J-10 but in order to achieve a shorter development period, they took Lavi data, there were two versions of IAI Lavi each one with a different engine size, the bigger engine version got bigger tail and bigger ventral fins...

yes specially for the same type of inlet and canards obviously the guy did not go to Israel and the same guy is not pictured with a Lavi single seat model type J-10, you forget that the J-10 has twin ventral fins, larger than IAI Lavi and you can not see the relation of the engine types fitted...

picture of 1991 of J-10 with Lavi style configuration 5 years after Lavi first flew, mock up not even with frozen configuration, first flight of J-10 1997

Lavi model? J-10 model forgotten model looking like a Lavi

The state of the Chinese aviation industry is quite complex, J-20 reflexes more or less the state of their aviation, for a nation to go from one generation into another is not easy as real scientific and engineering goes, certainly China has a developed industry, but when you see the C-919...

simplistic view, aircraft take years to be developed, on average a modern aircraft takes between 10 to 15 years of development, translate it to many, many research and development hours a year, it is not 3 or 4 hours of research and development, but 10000 to 30000 hours of research, aircraft are...

when you understand why J-10 continued using Al-31s when J-11 used WS-10s you will understand Al-31 was far more reliable than the Chinese engine nonsense, single engine aircraft tend to have higher accident rates than twin engines, F-16s are prone to have more accidents than F-18s or F-15s

still they bought more than 900 engines just in 2002 they bought 300 Speaking to AIN at the Aviation Expo 2011 in Beijing, Salut general director Vladislav Masalov said that negotiations continue on a second batch of nearly 140 AL-31FNs and that a follow-on contract is expected to be signed in...

early Lavi Study with boxy intake, basically a J-10, plus several configurations, the true aerodynamic history of an aircraft is far more complex than what was presented by the Chinese program

nice propaganda, aircraft are not designed with a single intake, canard o delta wing but with several dozen early configurations, to put it simple if you have ever seen how many configurations were studied for F-14, you know some F-14s look like F-15s, others like Tornadoes, for example 303C had...

China is going the path of imperial Japan, it has been allowed to growth, but like Japan it will never rule, every thing is well planned, geopolitics wise the J-20 is not going to face directly F-35 but Su-57, China has not chances to really affect the US, a wide ocean separates them, Russia in...

If you read the article by Golan, you will see a detail Lavi was designed with higher lift thus it could out turn the F-16 at lower altitudes and speeds but it had lower thrust to weight ratio, so it accelerated poorly compared to F-16, and it turned poorly at higher speeds compared to F-16...
