with the looming trade war US will make sure these goods stay in China, USA still has much more influence in trade than a 3rd rate cheap good manufacturer.
well, one decade ago, a trade war could have choke the developement of CHina,perhaps.
However,now, the situation is out of the control of Yankees completely!

guy,come back home and rethink what else Yankee can provide to others,except Boeing aircaft,people-killing weapons and wallstreet fat-cats?

in fact, China can produce and provide any that USA and West can produce now. We Chinese succeed in making industry product as cheap as vegetables. Industry capacity was once the base of west hegemony.

What we Chinese are doing is undermining the base in a undetected low profile.

you are making things that the west made 100 years ago and no longer is interested in making,when you innovate something new then you can claim a lead.

no more off topic discussion

how many countries export warplanes with no engine or radar?? How many countries are dumb enough to build their airforce around it?
LF, which warplane China exported with no engine or radar?? your statement is wierd and out of touch.
By your logic, almost all countries including India are dumb enough, because you are duilding you airforce around other countries' engine and radar.

What difference does it make?

You think comeliness has anything to do with performance?

From every indication, including pictures of cockpit I've seen, it appears to be a pretty competent aircraft.

And pending credible knowledge of the radar <which, we will probably never have> we have to assume the best.

This is concerning me. And it should be to you too. Despite all the wise cracks discounting Chinese performance.
may be AWACS is a concern but whats the use of AWACS if you dont have fighter to match it up....except for F-16 there is no fighter that can match us

yes with AWACS even JF-17 is capable enough to take on us but thats not enough....su-30 with phalcon can fry them out....so pakistan needs to invest in something more lethal than trying to match us.....

Any country can buy AWACS, but one has to master its employment to be effective.

What is important to note is that the projected increase in unmanned aircraft by all the Services will create a growing problem with airspace control/deconfliction.

More importantly would be what is the array of equipment on board to ensure airspace control and deconfliction.

Kunal do you think this is an air refuelable AWAC like a E3-A or a Phalcon??( I doubt it is ) then practically; how effective will this be??




Making these Birds air refulable is no big deal, And those aircraft have turboprop engines will last longer but slower, Advantage of being equipped fixed refueling probe helps Longer range and Can act as a command center for fighters and ground units ( real time intel gathering and broadcast of enemy positions ) for longer time over battle field..

Take it as a Chinese Phalcon ( AESA 550-600Kms) on Chinese AN-12 ( 3500km)..

PD is outdated. USAF is using it just because Yankee's poor finance can not afford a prompt replacement.

Yankee's manufactureing capacity declines so much that its economy become hole. So, any industry product made by Yankee hole economy ,including weapons, become so expensive that even Yankees can not afford it.

Please donot come and start posting here when you are drunk or high on drugs. Yankees equipments are years ahead of you . Stop bragging about quality of cheap 2nd grade copies here . You all would be diening to get your hands on even old and discarded weapons from USA . Even those will be better than latest weapons made in China.

I said that because everything about capability of china made weapons are hidden under deep secrecy . I tried a lot but couldnt find even on single reliable source about technical specification about Awac delivered to China.

He must have meant the Ferry Range! The Total Distance the Plane can cover before refueling

Kunal it is difficult to believe this AWAC has greater range than Phalcon?? I would guess it may be closer to 250-300km max?? If the range was this high there would be no need to buy a lesser range Eeryie ??
