China introduced the su27 production line in the 1990s, when Russia was in economic difficulties, so it was a win-win situation. China borrowed the design and production experience of the s27 and quickly independently developed a series of related important systems, and finally had the Chinese-developed J11b - China did not get the core technology from Russia, but reversed/independently developed it. And the subsequent new machines such as j16 and j22 gradually had less and less relationship with the flanker series.

Similarly, India introduced the su30MK production line in 2000. The problem is that India does not have the ability/strategic determination to gradually realize localization. Its independently developed brilliance fighter has nothing to do with su30, and India has been wavering between independent research and development and external procurement: later a large number of gust fighters were introduced, which also squeezed out the research and development funds of its independently developed fighters.

The defeat of the gust against the j10ce this time is another dilemma for India. As a country that aspires to be at the table in the future, the air force is definitely an important part, and it is obvious that it will not be able to continue to rely on Europe. It seems that there is only one way out: import the US F35 fighter jets.

However, the F35 is also very expensive, and the production is not stable at all. India is expected to be hit hard again - if you were Trump, wouldn't you take advantage of the situation and sell it at a high price?

So, JD is instigating India to fight Pakistan, is he also trying to sell weapons? 😂
