so that means China 150 advanced aircrafts in their arsenal .. and by the way other fighters do they have is there anythin apart frm mig 19 and mig 21 clones..?


And about india it has
1. 40-50 M2K with another squadron to be delivered in a years time(apart from plans to purchase another 130 i m putting this to )
2. approx.. 66 MIG29 with helmet mounted sights R77's and so on.
3. already 10MK's and 30MKI's with another 10 to be delivered by end of this year.

And that goes to >150 by the year end and with PHALCONS to be delivered in 2005 what advantage Chineese AF has?
