It's interesting because around the time when China was importing J-11 there were voices in PLAAF saying Flanker is so much better than the then in development J-10 and the project should be dropped and the funds made available to buy more J-11. It went all the way to the top to Jiang Zemin who was very supportive of J-10 program because he understood the need to nurture domestic aircraft R&D to pave the way for future aircraft. He apparently smashed a teacup in front of PLAAF people and yelled at them telling them he doesn't want to hear from them again asking to cancel J-10.

While certainly the correct decision in retrospect as the experience gained by CAC eventually lead to the J-20 and J-36 today, Elder was taking on risk by supporting J-10, not only placing trust in CAC's ability to deliver but also it meant China had to take geopolitical threats on the chin in the meanwhile to not spark off any wars while they PLA was in a relatively weak state. Hence Yinhe incident, bombing of Belgrade embassy in 1999 and Hainan EP-3 incident in 2001.

Now that something similar is playing out in India I'm wondering if the decision to stick with Tejas is correct and could J-10 ended up going the same way if CAC was like HAL.

No India is not China and HAL is not CAC/SAC-the results or lack of such speaks for themselves-wow -don't blame the then PLAAF but my respect for JZM just shot up some notches-sign of a strong wise prescient leader.

I'm sure right wing people are going to claim it's Sodom and Gomorrah type punishment since it's California being burnt.

Iran ready for nuclear talks "based on dignity": spokesman​

And I thought EU was the biggest cuck these days, I was wrong.

Now you see why China never went all in with Iran. They knew they were unstable. Guys still think they are part of the west even as the west we can see is in huge decline. Wonder why they can't see it.
