Re: Argentine officials confirm joint-production talks over China's FC
Engines indeed are different but mostly because of the small size of cm-400akg
size difference is less than 4 times not 10times
well Yj-12 and cm-400akg both are there product.and if we dont believe in the manufacturer words than who should we?
who knows.cm-400akg might already be in mass production for PLAN.PLAAF
As per sipiri pakistan has already recieved 10 of them of total 50 ordered
2nd expected customer could be argentina
they are not.but are anti ship missile while one is air launched variantYeah, we all know those Chinese "official releases", but if you have eyes OK, you will see that CM-400 and YJ-12 are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT missiles.
The first and major difference is CM-400 10 times less weight.
The second is completely different engine.
The third is aerodynamical scheme and air balancing - it is required to completely redesign all the missile to get the one from another.
Why should Chinese do that? They are poor engineers and designers, but they are not idiots.
It is much easier to create a new missile from scratch than redesign YJ-12 this way.
And if you have eyes, you will correctly recognize the real CM-400 prototype: Kh-58A/U.
BTW, if the missile is so great that you state, why Chinese don't start to mass-produce it for PLAAF/PLANAF and then, when they are satisfied, give the bone to Pakistan?
It is logical to feed their own PLANAF, then PLAAF and only then produce it for foreign customers.
