OOC: How the hell do you post pictures in this new forum?!

[Jolt disabled image hotlinking. It's one of those "little things" that they're working on. I know they are because during the second, shorter downtime I popped into one of my storefronts and saw the actual pictures displayed. Don't worry, they'll get it fixed, or there'll be so many nooses around it'll make the French Revolution look like a bunch of Boy Scouts learning to tie slip knots.]

OOC: Or that the French Revolution resembled a bunch of apprentice butchers slaughtering pigs. *Sadistic laugh*

OOC 2: What do you think of our new fighter?

BUMP

C'mon people, get interested!

OOC: How do you bump threads in this new forum?! *Slightly frustrated*

We want to buy it, at least for testing purposes now. How much?

45 million Sinoese Yuans for one. For testing purposes, we will remove the avonics and engines.

OOC: Glad to see you back.

We could take a couple to test... That is, of course, if you'd sell them to us... They'd work ideally for our Marines.

[It looks like a hybrid between an F-16 and F-18. I might buy some if not for the fact that I already have a massive air force.]

Go home, commie! We're still at war in the other thread although my nation's hands are currently all tied down in Xinjiang.

It looks too streamlined to be like an F-16 or F/A-18.

I'm not communist... But keep me in mind later, when we're not at war...

CK-ROC Corporation congratulates SCAC on their new development and wishes the Sinoese good luck in the future.

The XPCM (The Xiannese People's Constitutional Monarchy) government wishes Sino best of luck.

The Xiannese Aviation's Technology Department wishes to buy the plane for studying. However, if SIno wishes to include the engine and sorts, we'll be happy to pay a bigger price. Of course, not likely, we just want to study the thrust and propulsions.
