Hmmm. The Chinese truly crave jet engine technology. They have problems with materials technology, so producing them is difficult; they end up having to buy a lot of them.
I wonder if any of these will end up in the PRC for reverse engineering?
Indonesia. Think Muslim. Think Obama’s “adopted” homeland where he is still a citizen. Think worldwide Caliphate. China is probably not real happy about this.
The F100 is an engineering marvel. It's also a 40 year old design - albeit one that has been improved upon over the decades. At this point it would be like the French of 1955 worrying that the Germans mightl steal the secrets of the Hispano-Suiza 8 motor.
