I would like to see captions for the vintage aircraft photos.

Also, I have never seen SAMs and AAA displayed at an airshow.:shocked:
Well, China doesn't have a general defensive exhibiton yet. I think we need one, from next time.

Otherwise, I won't be surprised if those arm producers bring some tanks on next Airshow ...

Pakistani pilot waving a Chinese flag before taking off

The human-machine interface of JF17 is highly praised. It is user friendly and excellent, said Tariq Mahmood, pilots who fly other jets can independently operate JF17 after less than a hour's training.

Some memories from previous air shows.

kids know how to watch an airshow


no need for captions


I know they plastic-surgery their face, the upper torso also seems artificially boosted.


Pretty women and weapon, man created the latter to get the former, and civilization hence born.....

These days it is not easy to sell any plane regardless how good or how afforable it is. Rafale is a great plane, isn't it, we pretty much all agree. Yet France has not managed to sell a single piece yet, at least nothing inked yet. India could very well be the only customer for this jet, even that is only an assumption.

With the cold war over and lots of dictators deposed, the fighter jet market is extremely tight. China may not find another customer for FC-1, it won't change the fact that it is a great little plane, better than anything IAF currently has except for Su30MKI, certainly better than India's current fleet of old Mirage2000s and Mig29s.
seriously mate i expected something better from you at least:tsk:!JF-17 is in no way better than either Mirage-2000H or the Mig-29A/B/UB that is operated by the IAF.i mean both these a/c are proven and they are being currently used by dozens of countries and when it comes to Mig-29 a/c no contemporary a/c can outmatch it in agility,maneuverability in dog fights.on the other hand,the Mirage-2000 is a nimble multirole a/c which has an exellent record in a2g role(though its very effective in air superiority role) and these are not my words but that of the users of these aircrafts!on the other hand the JF-17 is a young unproven aircraft and currently only the PAF is using it and afaik no other country excepting Zimbabwe has shown interest in it(i know that Egypt and Turkey had shown ome interests in it but then changed their minds and are looking to get more F-16s).even you have failed to export your "so called" state-of-art aircraft J-10 when Myanmar chose the older Mig-29 platform over it(btw Mynmar and china share a very cordial military relationship):wave:

More information on that aircraft,

Vought O2U Corsair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vought O2U Corsair was a 1920s biplane scout and observation aircraft. Made by Vought Corporation, the O2U was ordered by the United States Navy (USN) in 1927. Powered by a 400 hp (298 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp engine, it incorporated a steel-tube fuselage structure and a wood wing structure with fabric covering. Many were seaplanes or amphibians.
As DaTang points out, the Vought V-65C was an export version for Nationalist China.

China purchased Corsair variants V-65C and V-92C...China purchased the 42 export versions of O2U-1 from 1929–1933, and 21 export versions of O3U between 1933–1934 and they saw extensive bombing actions. The O2U-1 versions participated in the Central Plains War and in the January 28 Incident against the Japanese targets, while the O3U versions first participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan to support the Chinese ground forces, and later against the Japanese targets in Shanghai.

J-10 has never been offered to any country, not even Pakistan afaik. Try to provide links to your claims.

Mig29 proven commodity, in what way? Exceptfor the little Cessna shot down by a Cuban Mig29 it has done nothing, absolutely nothing, they even managed to lose every aerial battle with their bigger cousin, the su27. These soviet-made airframes are over 20 years old, which translates into 'scrap metal'. You need to get close to those machines to realize how horrible the craftmanship is on these old soviet airplanes. Neither the old Mirage2000 nor the old Mig29 are compatible with beyond visual range active air-to-air missiles, JF17 however is. Have you ever seen a picture from the hopelessly outdated Mig29 cockpit, its is a sad sight. On a F16 you only need to hit one button, the missile is armed, on a Mig29 you need to hit 10. Those IAF Mig29s are junkies waiting to be retired much just like the old Mig23s that were already dumped by the IAF because in either case IAF prefers the venerable Mig21 over both Mig23 and Mig29. Mirage2000 is a fine plane, but it is 25 years old, and completely outdated. Once they get through the expensive make over at 50 million euro a piece, they will undoubtedly be a much better plane. But until that day arrives, JF17 is simply a better plane.

China never offered J10 to Myanmar, and Myanmar chose Mig29 simply for political reasons. Most 3rd world countries don't buy weapons based on performance, political considerations and more importantly kickbacks (which BTW are the deciding factor in every indian arms purcahse, Rafale included) are far more important. Also Mig29s could be had for 10 million dollars a piece, a J10 would cost 30-40 million dollars at least.

Our Indian friends needn't worry。

China will make everything so cheap that even a beggar in India can afford a missile or two。

In the not too distant future there will be hundreds of countries buying Chinese weapons the way they do today with Chinese smartphones、Chinese computers、Chinese washing machines etc。

WS rocket series. It seems that WS-22 has small rocket engines around the shell that enable it to rapidly change its trajectory.

At least in mig-29 you have 10 buttons to hit to fire the missile.
Last heard from PAF on JF-17 is there are no buttons in the cockpit at all and no missile to fire it and no radar to target it. The engine is russian.PAF is begging all and the sundry for radars and avionics , so much for the 5th gen chinese avionics and radar tech.

IAF mig-29s can always be upgraded to sukhoi level cockpit and it is being done as well.
At least mig-29 shoots down cessnas. A couple of JF-17s have crashed in PAF within a year of introduction and the quality chinese parachute failed to open in time to save the pilot.
Mirage -2000 did service for 25 years in IAF and only after that a couple of them crashed.

So mind your facts before posting.
