China's copy of Russian military equipment

How is Russia going to deal with China copy-pasting its military equipment.

Hack China and transfer over billions of Dollars? Would be amusing

How is Russia going to deal with China copy-pasting its military equipment.

By only selling previous generation stuff and using the money gained to work on next generation stuff.
The Makers of the S-300V sold parts of the system to the Americans and with the money they made they developed the S-300VM or Antei-2500.
Of course at the time they had no funding at all so it made sense to give away the secrets of a very old system to upgrade it and make it better.

Logical but China is not just copy-pasting equipment sold to it but actively engaged in stealing new blueprints and copy-pasting (Lada class for instance) ..

So an active program by the FSB to intercept attempts at stealing blueprints and substituting material with significant design flaws and secret material omitted is probably in operation or should be in operation to deal with this sort of problem.
Everyone is snooping on everyone so saying the Chinese are doing it is silly... everyone is doing it with varying levels of success.

it will be a huge mistake for the part of russian govt to sell millitary technolodgy to china not only they copy it but also supply many rouge countrys around world such as pakistan,north korea sudan and ultimately the same weapon can be used againt the russians ,by the part of china or another country ,as the chineese govt is hungry for more resource and land and they began to bully their neighbours in asia and may be it can happen agaist russia itself,as in past there is a history of conflict between them.

At the end of the day if you sell weapons then you can expect to have to face your own weapons at some stage... and if you are not facing your weapons then you will be facing someone elses.
If you don't sell weapons it does not mean you will face unarmed enemies.

Selling them weapons is just part of the puzzle, integrate your economy with theirs so war is counter productive for both sides and you will not need to worry about it.

North Korea and Pakistan are little direct threat to Russia, though both countries could work against Russian interests at the end of the day the US and the west has been doing that for such a long time I would expect Russia is used to pushing against the current anyway.

if u sale same type of weapons to suppose india and china ,u have to leave one in that case if u prefer china ,we have nothing to say but only goodluck ,we have other suppliers in our doorstep such as us or uk or france.

But that is the point... they don't sell the same stuff to China and India.

The Su-30MKI is much better than any model Su-30MKK sold to China.

The RD-33s being produced in India are model 3 engines with 9 ton thrust, while the RD-98s sold to China are the old 8 ton thrust earlier models.

The Chinese have S-300, but India doesn't seem to want Russian large SAMs...

They sold stuff to China when any sale was keeping their business alive.

India seems to be able to pretty much buy what it wants... after a 10 year period negotiating the price it seems.

Now that there is a domestic customer buying military material the Russian MIC is not so concerned with exports because of their limited production capacity... of course exports means much larger profit margin but too much production capacity has its own problems.

India is a free country and can certainly turn to the US and UK and France...

When in production an An-124 costs around 120 million an aircraft... and India is paying $500 million for each C-17. Of course with US bribery the negotiations for purchases will be much shorter, but is India really getting a better deal? Politicians in India will suddenly get a lot richer as each deal is signed and the Indian military will end up with white elephants for conflicts with its neighbours... you will be able to use their equipment against China of course... but not for asserting your dominance in the region because no country is allowed a sphere of influence except the US.

Any country willing to dump shiploads of its currency on someone is going to have friends. Why isn't the rest of the world doing it?

The US Govt. ripped off its own citizens over the years to have Trillions to dump abroad to buy people off. Can you rationalize the mega Trillions Americans have paid for car insurance over the last 6 decades? Where is it????


Anybody else in the world can do it to....if you can do it without your people revolting. Takes some careful planning to keep the sheeple from uprising. Look at America now...worse than the Great Depression.

...But the World's a booming from the US saving all those banks abroad and investing Trillions around the world.


...so quit whining....and get to investing. You too can tax your citizens out of jobs, homes, prosperity for decades...and use the money abroad to buy friends.

North Korea and Pakistan are little direct threat to Russia, though both countries could work against Russian interests at the end of the day the US and the west has been doing that for such a long time I would expect Russia is used to pushing against the current anyway.

To stop this trend I will vote for you Garry as Pakistan president

Thanks NC, but I would not like that sort of job... the future of an entire country in your hands!

I am sure some would love the power and prestige, but I would just be so worried of making things worse and not improving things for all the people...

Hard to say... all the comments about deals are coming from the makers of the products or exporters of products, and nothing from the Russia government.

I think all we can say is that China is interested, and the lack of governmental denials suggest that under the right terms this could go ahead.

J-10 is a total copy of Su27
J-11 is a total copy of Su30


Russia should put the foot down now, either China pays up or it will not get Su-35s.

A couple of follow on orders for a total of 200-300 Su-35s would be very profitible for Sukhoi and would likely drive down the cost of the Su-35 for the Russian AF who could order more aircraft too.

I was initially against the sales myzelf, but at the end of the day if they don't buy Su-35s it is only a matter of time before the EU drops its sanctions and tries to sell them Typhoons and Rafales and Gripens.

The Su-35 the Chinese get will not be the Su-35 the Russian AF will get.

Have you seen a J-10?

The J-11 is a license-built Su-27SK. The J-11B is the problem, it's a J-11 with Chinese engines, avionics and weapons that isn't covered by the license production deal as far as I know.

Looking that J10/J11 if they have no symbols, one would mistake them for Su-27/Su30........very easily. Chinese are shameless copycats, accept that!

Airforce? Russia should be heavily investing into reconstructing/advancing its torsional/scalar ,Narrowband HPM arsenal alongside civil defence.

Airforce won't save russia in a full scale nuclear/biological war.

Have you seen a J-10?

SOC ,believe me, the effort is completely wasted ,we can see here the most clear example of the nefarious effects of low level mantras and mental loops , absorbed in years in low level media, on the mind of a young guy.

In F-16.net it would find its perfect environment and i have also strongly suggested to him this solution but it seem that it want at any cost to remain here for teach to us that J-10 is a retro-engineered ....Su-27

keep you suggestions up your long and never ending sentences that i don't find easy to read. thank you!

J-10 has nothing to do with Su-27 (aside from AL-31 engine).

This is a J-10. If you're confusing this with an Su-27 or Su-30, then I don't know what else to say

Russia-China Su-35 Fighter Talks Frozen

RIA Novosti

12:31 17/04/2012 KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (RIA Novosti) - Negotiations on the sale of Russian advanced Su-35 Flanker-E fighters to China have been put on hold over Beijing’s refusal to buy a large consignment, Russian state-controlled arms exporter Rosoboronexport said on Tuesday.

“We have been promoting the Su-35 fighter on the Chinese market,” Rosoboronexport deputy chief Viktor Komardin said.

“However, China only wants to buy a limited number [of aircraft] whereas we want [to sell] a large consignment to make [the deal] economically viable.”

He offered no indication of the numbers involved

The negotiations have been ongoing for more than one and a half years.
