How do you come to the conclusion? It's completly different to the Su-33. It's yellow! :D

Russians have been raped again :P Whatever you sell Chinese it will be copied.

Yep... and seeing as how most electronics of any sort are manufactured in China now...

considering its an old design now... its not a big deal.

On side note, I'm waiting for Chinese reversed engineered A320 copy or something ^

The South Koreans are making a new civilian airplane that is a dang near exact copy of the Cirrus SR-20 and SR-22. I guess reverse engineering and copying designs are mandatory if you're a country in Southeastern Asia.

What are you guys talking about this is a complete chinese design :megalol::megalol:

the good thing is that in a few years this original designs will be abaliable with plenty spares parts here in the States; but I bet that those americans are going to call it su-33 ingnoring that this is a true original chines design :megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol: like they do with their "mig-15" copies.

South Korea's an East Asian country. >_>

 

Most Southeast Asian countries don't have enough funding to reverse engineer, let alone make their own arms >_>

The Chendong J-10 or whatever its called, is basically an F-16 cut in half and attached to a Mirage.

What can we say... we keep running out of designators and code names. :D

It may look the same but what about engines? Radar? Fire control systems/electronics etc?

 

Does it perform the same?

I was being sarcastic. But I'm guessing, going with the whole theme of Chinese aircraft, is that it's pretty much just Russian avionics translated into Chinese and called something else. Performance wise I have no idea...I didn't think that cheap aircraft could hold up in BFM:megalol:
