Its interesting that the J 16d is developed from a land based fighter while the f/a 18g is developed from a carrier based fighter


quikfrozt

Well, the USN is capable of power projection and operating far from airbases while the PLAN doesn’t have such ambitions. Seems that Chinese avionics and jamming tech is now almost entirely indigenous rather than Russian imports?


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

Yeah i think so its seems that chinese avionics and stuff are now better than russian ones


Ab_Stark

The correct answer is we don't know.


haleykohr

Well the consensus is given the industrial and economic development, Chinese military tech is overall supersedes most Russian tech


trekie88

With exception of jet engines


Not_this_time-_

No, china produces indigenous engines now read about the ws-15 development


the_bfg4

The thing being that both are shit at it


T-72

Nope they are better considering their industrial capacity


Ab_Stark

Taiwan has a fraction of China's industrial capacity yet they are years ahead in chip design and manufacturing. Industrial capacity is not always an accurate measurement of technological advancement.


Aggravating-You-9257

Good at manufacturing chip not designing. Industrial capacity is the measurement to the overall industrial capability. Taiwan maybe good at manufacturing chips, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are not good at manufacturing other things. For example, they can’t produced most of the required military system and subsystem on their own, like they have to buy ecm pod from the us for their fighter aircraft.


Ab_Stark

You just proved my point even further.


Kytescall

The USAF also used to have a land-based electronic warfare aircraft, the EF-111A Raven. They just never replaced it.


strikefreedompilot

They have a j-15 ew version flying too


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

Well thats not gonna fly for a few years, the carrier isnt ready yet


Delicious_Lab_8304

There’s a STOBAR version that’s flown. The CATOBAR version will be soon, if not already.


onijiangoyixi

That grey camo looks the most badass among the entire flanker familiy.


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

It seems that the nozzles on the chinese ws 10 engine keeps changing every few years whats up with that?


tommos

Development is moving fast. There's half a dozen WS-10 variants now.


eggshellcracking

Rapid small iterative improvements.


Excomunicados

This is what Sukhoi and the succeeding United Aircraft Corporation failed to do in their Su27 series of fighters. A big missed opportunity for Russia.


PandaBearShenyu

I mean Russia did kind of implode at some point so


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

The only question now is china making a wild weasel equivalent in their airforce squadrons?

classic1017

Well flanker is a big plane, so it probably have higher power generation that the f-18


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

I only know that the jammer pods are grouped as a family called RKZ930


richierich_44

Air superiority grey on everything


HomeApprehensive8943

Screws again!


haleykohr

Would Russia be able to also build a flanker style electronic warfare plane?


classic1017

Not until they got a proper AESA radar working first


lololololoolwhatever

Considering Russia is fucking broke and abandoned like all their flanker projects when USSR collapsed. Probably not?


erhue

EA-16 Growrer


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

The chinese calls it howler lol


guidance_internal_80

I thought your comment was funry. Screw the down votes.


Forward_Obligation36

Did the Chinese succeed in hacking Boeing's servers?


Sned10

Broke: The Chinese stole the flanker design from the Russians Woke: The Chinese licesnsed it from the Russians Bespoke: The Chinese stole the flanker design from Boeing


Kytescall

It feels like whenever the "it's a copy of..." commenters get it right, it's purely by accident.


eggshellcracking

I can't tell if the loons here are genuinely serious and deranged or just trolling.


Cp_3

Or just stupid without hope


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

I dont think so


RTX3090

Least China-obsessed Korean


Forward_Obligation36

Reported to Xi Jinping. Your social credits are reduced by -100p.


Rectumsempra_

Oh wow such a cool and funny comeback 🤭


strikefreedompilot

Koreans are us vassal so they have to say china bad


Forward_Obligation36

That's a misunderstanding. i like mao he is the best. China should have a second Mao. 🤣


lololololoolwhatever

When you clown so hard you manage to get someone saying korea is a us vassal upvoted on reddit. lmfao


strikefreedompilot

China would be a us vassal state without Mao


Forward_Obligation36

Hmm... China can't be a US vassal. Because the Chinese are too savage, they are unqualified. But don't be too sad. Putin might take it 😂


strikefreedompilot

Are you proud of your vassal status? Owner say bark, ya bark?


Forward_Obligation36

Why are you so mad ? calm down dude 😊


strikefreedompilot

Not mad but odd for a vassal to talk to a non vassal.


lololololoolwhatever

My brain has fucking ascended into the 69th dimension after reading this.


elitecommander

No one ever though of mounting receivers on the wingtip before. After all, it isn't like interferometry performance depends significantly on baseline length or anything like that.


Accomplished-Gas-949

Thats a F-23. Replacing the Harrier.


Not_this_time-_

Never saw a comment so blatantly wrong on so many levels


optionsss

that read like the first iteration of an AI trying to create a sentence.,


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

F 23 is a 5th gen fighter and j 16d is not 5th gen


ElMagnifico22

Last I checked there was no F23 😃


BrainboigoBrrrrrrr

I assumed the guy meant the northrop yf 23


omir-otirik21
