I fail to see how the PLAAF will be able to match the JSDAF unless the latter allows it to happen. Do you guys seriously think that a MLU of the massive Japanese fleet with AESA and Amraam-7/8's is out of the question? I think not. Frankly, the PLAAF is not such a threat right now, that the Japanese have to take immediate cogniscance of, and with AESA/AMRAAM F-15s with upgraded E3s- they'd still be a far sight better than N001 equipped Sks and Mkks with PL-12s and with the KJ-2000.
