dont think im making offense, most of PLA and IA military weapons stuff from Russian origin,and china has made so many weapons by getting BP of many russian stuff. Ultimately this thread is about US and USSR military stuff.
That was true during the 50s and 60s and perhaps up to the 80s, but after that, as they acquired domestic research, things changed dramatically. It is safe to say that the modern day PLA does not procure Russian equipment at all, and has not done so for a while. However, I do agree that some of their systems has Russian ancestry. But again, it would be hard to find a single military system in the world that do not exhibit mutually-accepted norms in blueprints to maximize their capabilities.
The Air Force still relies Russian engines, though, but at a decreasing propensity.
