Thoughts about CATOBAR Flankers? Had the USSR not collapsed, we could have already seen them operating from the Ulyanovsk Carrier in the late 90s...

kill yourself chinkshill
>>64294991they suck
>>64294991I think they'd be far inferior to any NATO aircraft that has been catobaring since the 1940s
>>64295043Has the US finally launched the F-35C from EMALS catapult yet?
>>64295101no and your arbitrary goals will not affect that
>>64295101No and they never will
Wasn't the Su-33 basically untouched since the 80s and painfully outdated by the time Russia finally admitted the kuz was a lost cause?
>>64294991Fun fact: the CCP based their carrier deck ops from...the Top Gun movies. Kek.

>>64297855If they could pay former US/NATO pilots they can pay off former admirals, flight deck crayon shirt dudes and engineersThe only dudes they probably could not pay off even if yuan weren't an issue are submariners and those involved in nook reactors
>>64300476NTA, but i think it depends.I don't really believe the US ones would work for the PLA since they get pretty decent jobs after service.Now the Brits, yea no wonder they followed Chinese money, things are grim on that shitty island.
>>64301520They had multiple former F-16/F/A-18/F-18EF/Growler American pilots cashing in on the yuan until they got tipped off/warned and returned stateside
>>64301575Growler pilots doing that sucks. At least they didn't take the tech with them.
