J-11 Skepticism
China’s desire to produce an "indigenized" version of the Su-27/J-11 fighter may be at the heart of decision not to complete a co-production contract for 200 fighters, but Irkut officials are skeptical that China’s Shenyang Aircraft Corporation can make such a fighter, meaning China will have to return to "kit" co-production. Sukhoi officials have noted China’s desire to do so since 2000 and to wit, Shenyang has been busy integrating Chinese radar and engines to form a new J-11 version, sometimes called J-11B. Evidence of China’s commitment to "indigenization" emerged in February 2005 in the form of Internet-source photos of a Y-8 transport modified with a J-11 nose, to test a Chinese fighter radar for this aircraft. Meanwhile Sukhoi has sought to interest China in Sukhoi-designed upgraded Su-27 models like the Su-27SK. The differing ambitions came to a head in early 2004 when Shenyang apparently told Sukhoi it would not buy more than 105 co-production "kits" out of 200 contracted for in a widely reported 1996 contract. Reports indicate China had an original option to stop kit procurement at 105. But an Irkut official notes that China will have great difficulty fully reproducing the Su-27/J-11, especially in copying software, avionics and flight control systems. While this may be debatable, Irkut official note China may not be able to accomplish this task until after 2010, when Sukhoi will be fielding a 4++ generation versions. While Irkut banks on logic returning Shenyang to kit coproduction, nationalism may impel China to continue down its chosen path
