By the way, I'm away for one week from tomorrow morning; a school-trip with my class into the deepest forest without any internet-access ... I'm sure during these days, FC-31V2 will fly again, the J-15A or B will be unveiled and a lot more ... as usual when I'm off-line.

All the best.

:D I look forward to your absences as it always means the PLA scrambles to unveil new developments. All kidding aside, have fun and stay safe.

Roll a six-faced dice:

1. FC-31 v2 flies again
2. J-15B prototype goes into production
3. J-10D is spotted at CAC
4. J-20 makes an unexpected appearance again
5. Z-XX helicopter prototype is spotted
6. Nothing happens .. but you still have fun!

Thank You guys and I would also add the new carrier-borne AEW-prototype to that list. :p

Anyway, I'm sure You will keep me updated with all the images saved when I'm back. All the best,

with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, due to lack of fund the second An-225 was only 70% complete. the unfinished product has been sealed off and is in good condition.

according to the BBC website reported on May 5, 2016, China Aerospace Industry Corporation signed with the Ukraine's Antonov an-225 projects related to the cooperation agreement, if all goes well, China will soon begin complete building of the unfinished second An-225, and subsequently mass production of this monster. however,negotiation is still ongoing.

what fete of engineering this monster is.

I really don't get it !??? You are resurrecting threads that are nearly 10 years dead and even more You post images of the wrong topic (aka Z-19 helicopters in a PLA transport heli thread), You are upset if established, honourable members ask You to think about Your posts before posting esp. on the images You post and now You post a report from the BBC that is more than one year old. :mad::confused:o_O

I know You will be upset again and ask me to encourage new members .... what I did so much but if people don't listen, You probably too get a bit "clearer" in Your words. May I ask in what space-time-continuum You are living ???

As I said China is still negotiating, although BBC published this in May 5 2016( I fully realised this date). The An-225 is such a magnificent heavy-lifter, and is the only one in the world. Does China really needs such a craft? I brought this up for members to have a good discussion. Regarding space-time continuum (well that's Einstein, but did he explain the 'black-hole' ?) I feel sure you are having a dig at me. Really, is this necessary??
I do realise you do the same in some instances, using same pics as others published before, albeit not as 'ancient'. Others dare not to criticise you, as you are the super moderator.

There is no discussing needed on the AN-225 if there is no news. The reason Deino asked you to stop resurrecting old threads is because there is nothing new in them, therefore people are not interested.

If you find something new to the forum, feel free to post, if not just stalk.

The issue is plain and simple that You post things - like here - just out of the blue even if no news appear and they are already posted long before.

So what was the reason to repost that strange report from 2016 right now ? Are there any news ?
