China Asked Korea Not to Sell Jets to Philippines

[xunzi]

S.Korean government has officially denied the news report but their officials privately admit it. So it wasn't fake.

Even the Phillipines deny this! Who are you joking with? Typical fabrication. You taught Japan very well. I must admit!

thats a nice Light Cheap fighter for a relatively small country.No wonder Philippines will go for it.

India should go for this plane as well since India is only getting 48 LCA.

India should go for this plane as well since India is only getting 48 LCA.

India will get over 200 LCA.48 is Mk-I.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is reported to have a requirement for 200 single-seat and 20 two-seat conversion trainers, while the Indian Navy may order up to 40 single-seaters to replace its Sea Harrier FRS.51 and Harrier T.60

40 LCA ordered by IAF will be equipped with F404-GE-IN20 engine while all the others with GE-414.

don't bring LCA here as it belongs to F/A-50.if needed,purchase it for China.we train using Hawk,and we have our own aircraft to fill this light category role.
