This bird is wicked. A great rival to JF-17.
Well... our Budget was already gone for dozens of JF17 Block 2.. we're currently operate total 6 Y8s and still meet with our requirement with low price... in near future , Y9 will be considerable cargo planes to replace our aging Y8 fleet. but it will not happened till 2020...The bay looks much smaller compare to hercules C-130. Why didn't they go for Y-9? It will be much modern although the bay will still be the same.
Actually Shaanxi Y-8 Cargo Bay is in the same size with C-130 Hercules.
Shaanxi Y-8 Cargo Bay = 13.5 x 3 x 2.4 m
Hercules C-130 E/H/J Cargo Bay = 12.19 x 3.02 x 2.74 m
And yes, Shaanxi Y-9 is much modern, bigger and better capabilities.
But, Shaanxi Y-9 is more Expensive than Y-8.
With Myanmar Air Force Budget, maybe that's why they choose Y-8 instead much modern Shaanxi Y-9.
Shaanxi Y-9 is a Beautiful Aircraft

i think probably more to KAI's T-50 or FA-50 and Russia Yak-130 than JF-17..This bird is wicked. A great rival to JF-17.
T-50 and L-15 are actually more suit for small air force than JF-17. They are already configure in twin seat mode. Can act as strike aircraft, trainer and fighter jet due to its after burner and more powerful engine, giving them the thrust needed as fighter. Small air force need not buy so many aircraft to do so many task.i think probably more to KAI's T-50 or FA-50 and Russia Yak-130 than JF-17..
ok bro.. but i want to know L-15 can carry anti-ship missile..?T-50 and L-15 are actually more suit for small air force than JF-17. They are already configure in twin seat mode.

JF-17 is an aircraft build to suit PAF needs, the lack of twin seat is a big drawer back Becos small airforce do not have the luxury of bigger airforce with experience pilot transit from other aircraft like F-16. L-15 has a better export prospect for China as most of our allies are small airforce only. If not for the Ukraine civil war, I heard Ukrainr airforce too want to induct it.
C-705 small antiship missile against corvette but not C-802.ok bro.. but i want to know L-15 can carry anti-ship missile..?
