There’s prolly somfin in Sharia law which prohibits the use of such, except for fighting the Little and Great Satans.

The PL-11 is a copy of the Aspide which is a copy of the AIM-7E.

My point is that there is a distinct possibility that the Israelis will end up flying against an aircraft they helped the Chinese build carrying ordnance they helped the Chinese build.

Is Iran really that unaware of Chinese quality?

I wonder what the lead content is.

Iran can’t pay for their Nuke plant and they are buyiung gasoline on the world market because they have run out of refining capacity - how will they be paying - cash or credit? Iran is like Mexico running an oil company - industry - at a loss.

The Lavi was a plane from the 70s. Given today’s Iran’s high quality pilots, the planes will crash and burn in short order..

“The more Chinese stuff Americans buy at Wal*Mart, the better the quality of Chinese manufacturing gets.”

Yes, especially since many Chinese companies selling in our marked are either owned or controlled by the Peoples Liberation Army. We are helping to fund China’s war machine.

Rejected primarily by political considerations.
