The Russian news agency TASS reports that, considering the numerous challenges Russia has faced in operationalizing its fifth-generation fighter jet, the Su-57, many military commanders are advocating for Russia to join China's sixth-generation fighter program.
Leaving aside whether the Chinese would even agree to such cooperation, it’s worth noting that just a decade ago, Russia was at odds with China over the production of a domestic version of the Su-27, known as the J-11, and refused to sell them the Su-35. Yet now, China has nearly 300 fifth-generation fighters, while the number produced in Russia doesn’t even reach 50. Now, Russia is contemplating collaboration with the same Chinese on its next-generation fighter. 3 replies

China’s year-end exciting programs continue!!!!!
On the same day that news broke about the launch of the Type 076 drone carrier Sichuan, hull number 51, after impressive showcases by Chengdu and Shenyang aircraft manufacturers, another Chinese aerospace company, Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation, unveiled its new creation.
Images have been released of the flight of China’s new-generation AWACS prototype, the KJ-3000, which is based on the Y-20B transport platform equipped with WS-20 engines. Featuring a large disc-shaped radome on top of its fuselage, it is expected to be China’s most capable AWACS to date. Additionally, at the rear of the fuselage (in the area where the ramp would typically be), a large, gland-like structure is visible, which requires closer, higher-quality images for confirmation. 3 replies
