I was surprised to find made in Pakistan product when I ordered supplies for work. The plastic face shield was made in Pakistan . The same shield that used to be 50 cents each I paid $15.... so imagine the markup .... money made by the distributors here not producers in Pakistan .

Due to covid, plus teething issues, since this is actually a new platform, really cant say, but as of now maybe mid-Aug.

Don't let the J15 air frame fool anyone, this is a different beast, even the MTBO for the WS-10 engines is more.

MTBO?

Mean Time Between Overhauls, a critical factor in judging how good an engine is.

WS-10H ???

MTBO for the WS-10 engines is more

I dont know if it is "H" but it is not the regular WS-10, that much is confirmed.

It says the engine still has some problems to iron out. Also is it comparing it to the old Russian engines that are found on their carrier jets or is this trying to compare it to new russ engines?

Apologies my knowledge on engines isnt all that good.

Short summery WS-10H still lag behind of American engines like F414 but now on par of Russian engines AL 31F. For an reason Chinese going for mass production of it
