I don't think so. I think Israel has good relationship with China and used to provide a lot of military hardware to China. So China isn't going to damage this relationship.

Not necessarily. Iran has A LOT of untapped oil resources and very good easily accessible ones to. Currently Russian and Saudi Arabia are the largest suppliers to China. No harm diversifying. Israel sells its best weapons to India. From short ranged Python-5, mid-ranged Barak SAM to large AESA like EL/M-2080 Green Pine and EL/W-2090 and many more. It rumored Israel actually has hand in India's missile defense program after US vetoed the sale of Arrow-2 to India. So at the end of the day, economics always wins.

To admit, besides the fact alone, that V2 finally appeared and the fun of guessing what's next I'm most of al interested, how the flight testing proceeds. When will it fly again, will we see some more and better images shown more details ... ???

I had a similar idea, even if I'm still not sure if it is an intermediate model between V1 & V2 - so some sort of V1.5 :p - or a new revised version for a "renewed" PLANAF-interest maybe ???

Right, hopefully we will get some interest or orders for this very nice aeroplane shortly.
