Also, I always wondered if this was true but my handler once told me that Chinese pilots aren't free to do their own dogfighting and that an air controller on the ground feeds them all instructions and that delay is why they will never be as good as the U.S.The so called controllers direct the aircraft into a favorable position just like our AWACS and other assets do for us. I never did air to air with the Chinese and anything I might have once known is either forgotten on probably changed so much it ain't worth considering...
What do you think? Any truth to that? Lookin at you 727 ^.^
They the Chinese were not all that good during the Korean war from what I was told. Russian pilot instructors were good and you could tell the difference once engaged.
In my opinion when you engage in air to air it is your butt in the aircraft and you are doing all you can to flame the opponent's aircraft anyway you can as "A KILL IS A KILL" even if they are taking off and have not cleared the runway when you spot and blow their shit away.
Now with fire and forget missiles and targets destroyed at over 125 miles away where is the fun in that !! hahaha
There have been stories about some Brits and other NATO retired pilots going to China to train their pilots... Why...For money of course !
I will post this for no other reason than I like it !! hahah
From what I have read China presently is in a world of hurt as civil service workers and even the military is not being paid as the CCP is out of money... Plenty of stories and videos about the serious situation in China,,, They may start a war just to get everyone's mind off the misery the CCP has caused for their citizens, ???
