2024 Zhuhai Airshow main thread, Air Systems

Bogdan is there to 'sell' an aircraft. He is hardly going to talk it down.

 

[gelgoog]

He is employed by Sukhoi. If anything his comments were way more measured than what the headlines in these "news" imply.

Another deal with Azerbaijian or follow up for JF-17 Block III?

 

[gelgoog]

They were inspecting the J-10 so that is a possibility.

Azeri news site says the meeting was between PLAAF and Azeri Air Force delegation concerning the current state and future prospects of military and military-technical cooperation between the Air Forces of Azerbaijan and China.

Thanks, but even if it is an Airforce related meeting, it could be anything from fighters to UAV/UCAV, to transports to whatever ... but not strictly a claer hint for a J-10C (even if I won't complain if true)

UCAV wise I think Turkey and Israel have their demands covered, at least for the near future.

"Lower Observatory" Z-20? Reminds me a bit of some of the stealth hawk illustrations.

sorry for late reply..

but yeah it does look like Z-20 stealth variant but need to see more images or CGI video for clarification. as China's high end material industry rapidly growing so these companies now can take risk.
