Is the CH-4 that bad ?

Having acquired some twenty CH-4Bs from China in 2015, eight of these crashed within a timespan of just a few years, while the dozen remaining examples are currently languishing in a hangar due to an apparent lack of spare parts and after-sale support by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

Not sure about their quality, but I'm not surprised that the Chinese companies are somewhat still lacking in after-sales supports. Although one might say that it's all about customers themselves since they opted for cheaper prices and omitted such things, but it still looks unprofessional for those companies since they're the one who gave that option in the first place.

They might still hold on to the "quantity has a quality on its own" mantra but in the long run, some, if not most, of their customers will learn in a hard way that cheaper stuffs often come at its own 'price' as well later on.

This forum is full with all the "what if", "rumours", "speculations", "sh*t FMP/AH claims", etc and you've been part of it.

You're acting like houlier than thou and "maling teriak maling" here.

If you don't like it then there are so many places in the world that you can visit and read.

that is why they call it a discussion, a forum....

I find the training material interesting, if not a bit eye-raising. I don't remember we conduct the same exercise when RuAF Bear made a stop over a few years ago.

Escorting B-52 means a lot.

Exactly, unless I'veve missed it, this is a milestone in terms of inoperability between us and the USAF. Good to see.
