-_-!... I have no idea... the forum rule of 15 pics in one post.
If i wanna continue to share new pics(number<15) in the new post, i only have a way to creat it after other mate's posts.

Thanks for latest pics Escobar, keep it coming.

On another note these military mobile transport vehicle are still using too much fuel (diesel). Is there a hybrid engine for them anywhere around the world? I figure that would be an important asset (oil) for any military strategic planners, remember what happened to the German tank forces in the Battle of the Bulge?

Re: Hhq-9 vls

Seeing Chinese soldiers wearing US MICH, ballistic glasses, combat boots, and using the M4, M249 is quite a fresh scene. One can only imagine the prowess when both military combine forces to fight another enemy or something..it's gonna be epic

the F-16esque airframe feels Western, PAF paintjob also feels Western, that drop tank
the RD-33 nozzle really feels out of place, if only JF-17 got a bubble canopy it would be an F-16's twin

and that sky blue is hideous! but hopefully effective

do you think when they come home they'll ask for the same gears? (except the rifles)

Re: Hhq-9 vls

The engine of the JF-17 is RD-93. Its nozzle really looks ugly to me. I hope they'll get a new engine for this bird and conformal fuel tanks so that it would not rely on drop tanks, free more pylons for weapon and has longer legs.
