Does anybody know the training rates of the Chinese airforce or air arm? If they are up to western standards they are definitely a force not to laugh at. Do they operate all aircraft as front line squadrons or are they making a 2 or 3 tier system. Tier one: best jets, lots of training, best pilots etc, while the 2nd tier is not so much training, older aircraft with older weapons.

Thats a good looking machine. I wonder, is the engine in it any good? What sort of thrust to weight ratio does it have? Why hasn't it been exported?
