Chinese Military Won't Accept 'Made In China' Fighters

BEIJING (Kyodo) -- China's Air Force has refused to accept 16 J-11B fighters manufactured by a domestic aircraft maker due to technical problems, the Kanwa Defense Review magazine said in its June issue, quoting a Western intelligence source in Beijing.

China is believed to have developed the new fighter based on technology from the Russian fighter Sukhoi Su-27, sparking speculation that the maker, Shenyang Aircraft Corp., may have failed to employ Russian technology accurately.

Shenyang Aircraft, based in Liaoning Province, manufactured 16 J-11B fighters in 2009.

"When the Air Force was checking them up for delivery, J-11B had abnormal vibration after taking off," the magazine quoted the source as saying. "As a result, the Air Force refused to accept the aircraft."

A Chinese military source said the J-11B was not chosen for exhibition at the National Day military parade in October last year due to doubts over technical feature of the fighter, according to the magazine.

Technical issues do occur during the development and induction phases which can be fixed.

F-35 have had issues in development so partners ain't buying them anymore ?
I can agree with some problems found in J-11B but PLAAF has REFUSED to buy those jets is just Illogical.

Makes me wonder how thorough their testing phase was. Vibrations would have been worked on there not the induction phase.
 
It's nice to know that the PLAAF won't just take in anything its country makes indigenously, like the IAF does.

totally agree...but I think the author would most probably mean test flights as PLAAF officers would most probably be employed by SAC for development as well
