Mate, the JV has nothing to do with the engines. China is to make 5% of the airframe. http://www.asiaone.com/Business/News/Story/A1Story20100915-237335.html

China is also the biggest propaganda maker of the world. Claim an installation of RR turbine blades and calling them your scientific breakthrough is more like it.

I said WS-10A, not the old WS10. Sounds like they are made by Rolls-Royce to me. I doubt Airbus will give a potential competitor the ability to copy their engines.

Is the problem SCB? Russia gave India the technology and China is apparently using it in WS-10A. Both engines can fly without tearing themselves up. Kaveri's problem is lack of thrust, WS-10A is lack of thrust control in different flight regimes.

No tankers have been inducted. They aren't coming until late 2010 and even then they will be 25 years old. 250 sounds like a nice number but they are going to be the backbone of PAF and a weak backbone at that. With up to 130-180 MMRCAs, 60 MiG-29SMT and 280 Su-30MKIs coming into IAF, this...

Or maybe the US knew good and well Pakistan would be buying weapons to use against India. You ever think about that?

Sure it will, that radar will cost more than the entire plane. :sarcastic: I might have given it a second thought to the statement if you said J-10, but JF-17 is just a laugh. Vixen will weigh at least an extra 100kg compared to Grifo S7 decreasing an already weak payload. The power...

Because Pakistan paid them to do it. They didn't want to piss off their "ally." It also gave them a good reason to approach Russia for RD-93 orders. I am sure they are trying to dissect it as we speak. Too bad we sold them the old RD-33 core. :sarcastic:

Made in Pakistan? They must mean assembled. :sarcastic: China attached a lot of importance to the project? Is that why China refuses to induct it and made Pakistan pay for development? :sarcastic: PAC has generated all the capability to put a knock-down kit together. Russian engines...
