Russia infuriated with Chinese export copies of Su-27 jet fighters

Russia has officially notified China of the fact that the production of J11 jet fighters, which copy Russia’s Su-27SK aircraft, violates international agreements. Moscow promised to launch legal proceedings to protect its intellectual property.







Russia’s attempts to settle down on China’s arms market have been made to no avail, the Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports. Chinese pirates have entered a new level of activity. They mastered the production technology and developed the Chinese production of Su-27 analogues with a view to subsequently export the planes to third world countries.

The military cooperation between Russia and China has not been very successful during the recent couple of years. Russia’s arms exports to China dropped by 62 percent. In addition, Russia does not sign any new defense cooperation contracts with China. For the time being, the two countries simply execute the previously signed contracts, the sum of which total about $1.8 billion.

It is worthy of note that China used to be a major buyer of Russian-made military hardware. At present moment, China gradually becomes a large exporter of arms.

5. Ever read about the TU-4?

A handful of B-29s during the campaign over Japan had to force-land in Russia. The aircrews were safe, but since Russia hadn't entered the war against Japan yet, the airmen were detained and the airplanes confiscated.

Fast forward about two years...

US intelligence reports were warning about a new intercontinental bomber the Russians had developed immediately after WW2, with the potential to reach the US on a "one way" trip. Anti-air defenses had to be overhauled almost overnight to counter this new threat.

When photos of the aircraft was first seen by analysts, they realized they were looking at....an American B-29. The Russians had reverse-engineered one of the B-29s they had recovered, to every rivet, and put it into mass production. It was a clunker, but it was a stop-gap measure at best, anyway.

If there are any Boeing engineers of the old B-29 still alive, I bet they're laughing their asses off right now.

6. The Chinese have been doing this to the Russians for 50 years

Russia sends China tanks.
The Chinese take one apart, figure out how to make copies, mass produce them for less than what it costs the Russians.
Russia throws fits.
Russia sends China submarines.
The Chinese take one apart, figure out how to make copies, mass produce them for less than what it costs the Russians.
Russia throws fits.
Russia sends China fighter jets.
The Chinese take one apart, figure out how to make copies, mass produce them for less than what it costs the Russians.
Russia throws fits.
You think the Russian government would figure out the pattern.
