Can anybody tell me what would be suitable to use as a generic modern-day Chinese fighter?

Try this site:
J8D or J7 (Mig 21) seem to be the be the majority fighters in their inventory.Comment

In terms of numbers, the most common Chinese fighter is still their version of the MiG-21 (the J-7 in Chinese service). These make up about half the PLAAF's active air regiments (the other half being the other fighter models as well as transports, etc)
If you want a more modern Chinese fighter, then you can choose between the J-8 Interceptor or the Su-27 (J-11 in Chinese service).
Janes World Air Forces gives the following in-service numbers for the three types of aircraft:
J-7 (all variants): 2000 aircraft
J-8 (all variants): 450 aircraft
SU-27: 85 aircraft (80 more on order)
SU-30: 45 aircraft (94(?) more on order)
There are also 1000 J-6's (MiG-19s) still soldiering on, though Janes only lists 8 active J-6 Air Regiments, which strongly sugests that most of the 1000 aircraft have been mothballed.'Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be - or to be indistinguishable from - self-righteous sixteen year olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.'

BTW, there's a good open source article on the organisation of the PLAAF in the near-future available at: https://www.tdg.nu/resources/TOE/TO&...%2B/PLAAF2.htm (though I'm pretty sure that the author is wrong about J-6 numbers).
If you require more detail, let me know - the Janes article is excelent, and I can pluck lots more detail from it for you.Last edited by Case; December 24, 2003, 20:44.'Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be - or to be indistinguishable from - self-righteous sixteen year olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.'

LOL!
I am sworn to secrecy, but the plot will involve all the nations of earth having
to be forcibly 'unified' by one of the major powers to stop an alien threat.
The clock is ticking before they arrive!
Or perhaps they already have!
That is all I can say for now!
Bwahahah!

So Curt, your new scenario features both aliens and Osama Bin Laden (love the graphic BTW)! Can we expect to see Osama and his Muslim crew forming an alliance with an alien empire to defeat America once and for all?
This could indeed be the whackiest one yet!
