According to a translation by RIA Novosti of the Russian newspapers Vedomosti and Kommersant, the Russian-Chinese inter-governmental commission for military-technical cooperation met in Beijing for the first time in the past three years to sign an agreement on copyright [what is probably meant is intellectual property, including copyright IP Dragon] protection in the field of military-technical cooperation on December 11, 2008.
RIA Novosti wrote that copyright [what is probably meant is intellectual property, including copyright IP Dragon] protection is a serious problem for Russian military products.
It alleged that China’s People’s Liberation Army copied for example the following Russian military products:
- Antonov An-12 Cub (RU) See left picture became Y-8 military cargo plane (CN) See right picture;
- An-24 Coke transport aircraft (RU) became Modern Ark MA-60 regional aircraft (CN);
- X-55 cruise missile (RU) became C-602 missile (CN);
- AL-31F aircraft engine (RU) became Tai Hung WS-10 aircraft engine (CN).
