That is really impressive. Regarding to S-300PMU2, I think we should stop buying them from russia and increasing production of HQ-9A and speed up development of the next generation SAMS, but I would like to see PLA aquire some S-400 from russia for fast development purporse! <BR/><BR/>Also, Feng have you heard the huge earthquake in China that killed over 9000 people yestarday? It is terrible and that may slow down our millitary development for this year. Man, so many bad things happened in 2008 for China, I wish 2009 will be a better year.Jianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225178540970581984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-56857849319502196432008-05-12T10:12:00.000-07:002008-05-12T10:12:00.000-07:00my opinion is really nothing but my opinion. I do...my opinion is really nothing but my opinion. I don't think MKI is highly overrated, but it's certainly not better than Typhoon or super hornets. J-11B's advantage over MKI from a strict sense would be better T/W ratio, having MAWs, having holographic HUD and longer ranged radar. MKIs advantage is having the TVC and PESA radar. Things like EW suite is hard to compare. I would take the Chinese missiles over export Russian missiles any day of the week. Give J-11 series a little more time, the eventual hope is that it will be better aerial combatant than super hornets. Of course, it will have all the goodies like AESA radar, new generation of SRAAM and LRAAM by then.<BR/><BR/>As for HQ-9 vs PMU2, we really don't know enough to answer that. I would never underestimate Russian SAMs. That's one area they have historically been really good at and S-300V/S-400 are all really good systems. Look, the important part is not the missiles themselves, but the huge network of radars that China has. This certainly is one area China has excelled at. China could be even more well defended than Russia is at the moment.Fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351872761178293322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-53746774625774233702008-05-11T21:52:00.000-07:002008-05-11T21:52:00.000-07:00One more question.

I know that HQ-9A has a range of more than 200km and is purly our own design, and its control system is significantly better than that of the S-300 series. But what about its capabilities?? <BR/><BR/>Also, regarding the S-400, I know it is currently the best and it has a 400km range, but I think this is not true, because the russian weapons are alwasy overrated, I doubt it has a 400km range. But even if it has a 350km range and if it has a high kill ratio and can detect stealth target then it will be impressive enough. Do you think we should buy it?? I personally do not want to see us ever buy weapons from russia again, but hey if it is worth it then why not give it a try. Do you think we are currently develpoing a similar system which is comparble to the S-400?Jianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225178540970581984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-16665631045906057222008-05-11T21:47:00.000-07:002008-05-11T21:47:00.000-07:00Feng, I just read one of your post saying that J-1...Feng, I just read one of your post saying that J-11B is even better than the latest Su-30MKI in terms of Air to Air. But can you explain why??. I personally believe you because the Su-30MKI IMHO is highly overrated, if not then why will the indians spend more money buy planes from France and USA, you have to notice that each Su-30 only cost 50 million$, yet the so called the indian MRCA deal, each plane cost over 80 million$. I persoally think our Air Force did a good job on developing the J-11B, because the old Su-27 is just crap!!! <BR/><BR/>BTW, Feng can you give me some details about J-11B's radar, engine, and missiles, also its RCS and avioinics. I also want to know if J-11B ever got into a fight with F-18E/F, will J-11B be able to defeat the F-18E/F in both BVR and WVR if J-11B has AWAC support?Jianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225178540970581984noreply@blogger.com
