The question is: why can't Indian show off their Mig-29's? Su-30MKI's are not naval planes.View attachment 138118
I'll be honest, if I haven't seen the initial pics from PLAN, this looks believable to me.
Because they are not Su-30MKI and they are not India carriers ?The question is: why can't Indian show off their Mig-29's? Su-30MKI's are not naval planes.
One thing the China did was setup her own AL-31 rebuilding service center in Xi'an. So none of the AL-31 engine was sent back to Russia for rebuilding. Just wonder if India has the same service center though.Unfortunately, making some parts vs. making the whole engine are not the same at all. For MiG-21, the Sino-Soviet split meant China had to pursue the R-11/13 on its own. India always had great access to USSR assistance. China was never granted any license for Al-31 and limited technical assistance. India was granted the manufacturing license. China had licensed the Spey from the UK, which is from a similar era to the Adour. What have they been doing all these years?
The Indians have an engine service center for the AL-31 but how capable that center is, I don't know.One thing the China did was setup her own AL-31 rebuilding service center in Xi'an.
