Chinese J-11 and Thai Gripen in joint excercise.
How does this make America feel.

Chinese ripoff of Russian gear? Thats pretty low

That's a original licence produced J-11A, built from Russian kits and equipped with obsolete Russian original radars.
The Chinese Flanker copy began with the J-11B, which is equipped with modern radars and composites.
I can somehow understand their wish for a rip-off, as the original they got was shit, even if it wasnt a monkey model - the original russian flankers were that bad and russia had nothing better to offer at that time.

How close is the j10 to the gripen in terms of performance anyway? I cant imagine them being too different. I know the gripen has better air tomground weapons but what else?
>>27939701
Different class. Gripen is more like JF-17 and the J-10 is in the class of the F-16.
>>27939367
Fuck me, the Gripen is tiny.
>>27939997
Small things can sometimes do impressive things. Just like OP's girlfriend says.
>>27942033
I am not sure if that is a compliment or not.

Yeah, the N001 Mech radar was crap. Flanker unworthy.
Impressive
The J-11 truly is a marvel of Chinese indigenous research and development. It has no analogue anywhere in the world.
