No surprise, they've been banking off of old US tech for a long while. Most of their 'domestic' tech are just variants of the Cobra, Bell 206s and others.

Not to mention the Jet they "unveiled", they've been using since the 70s. They just made it a two seater.

To be fair, they added a second vertical stabilizer too...

Why are they still making F-5 clones when they a 103% legit stealth air superiority fighter?
