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);
