P 15B will be 8,000 tonnes max. There is no missile in the world that can travel at Mach 3+ while sea skimming. The Mach 3 speed refers to high altitude only! At sea skimming altitude, both BrahMos and Yakhont have a maximum speed of around Mach 1.8. The same goes for all high-end supersonic...

Actually, the endurance of the P28 and Type 056 is both 3,500 nautical miles.

Iran too poor to buy new fighters. Very simple.

The military spending of Saudi Arabia is inflated due to the spending on internal police and security forces also being included. Other factors include the temporary weak dollar exchange rate with the Saudi riyal. On paper the Saudi armed forces possess significant fire-power, but in practice...

*********************** We have over 70 destroyers and frigates compared to your 23! :haha: We are building 12 Type 052D destroyers which are 7,500 tons and equipped with AEGIS type air-defense. India has so far only built 3 Kolkata class destroyers, equipped with the shitty Barak 8 missiles...

By modern standards, P28 is too small to even be considered a frigate so do not fool yourself. P28 has inferior sensors and has very low endurance (3,500 nautical miles) compared to a modern frigate. With such low range, P28 is predominately designed for littoral warfare. Also, you need to...

What do you mean nonsense? Russia is still several years ahead in engine technology, but even their engines aren't true 5th gen. The AL-41F1 engines developed for the PAK FA are simply enhanced versions of the recent AL-31F series which are found on the Su-30s and Su-35s. Essentially, the...

I agree, China is in the same position too, even with the J-20 and J-31 we are still many years behind the Western countries and we haven't built a successful 5th generation jet-engine yet. Even the Russians are struggling to develop PAK FA and they are much more advanced than India or China in...

The PLAN already has 13 Type 056 corvettes in service with a total fleet of over 60 planned! The 056 has a range of roughly 3,500 nautical miles (same as the P28) and comes fully armed with anti-ship missiles, anti-air missiles, a CIWS and anti-submarine torpedoes. The 056 was designed to have...

Money is money bitch... doesn't matter how you make it.

Firstly, I am from Hong Kong, we have a very high standard of living (high GDP per capita) and we have allot of European sentiment (especially British). IMF figures are not pulled from their ***... just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you can ignore the facts! PPP doesn't count, that...

According to the IMF projections out to 2019, Russia will have a far smaller economy than all of the major European powers. In 2019: 1 Germany $4.8 trillion 2 United Kingdom $3.7 trillion 3 France $3.6 trillion 4 Italy $2.6 trillion 5 Russia $2.4 trillion You can look at these figure on the...

So who is going to win?

NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It is specifically intended for nations geographically located in and around the North Atlantic. That is why close American allies such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand are not part of NATO. Germany, Britain and France are all more important...

Ukraine and Syria are strategically unimportant to the West. For them it is a non issue. Putin has "outplayed" no one, the West simply doesn't give a shit. When will the people of Russia finally realise that Russia is irrelevant? China is the new guy in town, with an economy soon to surpass...

You make some fair points, I cannot argue with what you said. It is the truth.

London is one of the richest cities on the planet. But I agree that perhaps to host another so soon may indeed take its toll.

Didn't the London Olympics actually contribute in a significant way to the UK's economic growth in 2012? Rather than "take a huge toll" on finances! The financial benefits to London would be most welcome.

I would rather eat Donkey meat than Rat meat.

So your argument is that because MF-STAR and Brarak 8 are newer, then it must be more capable and advanced? Aster 30: Weight - 450 kg Speed - 4.5 Mach Range - 120 km Flight ceiling - 20 km Barak 8: Weight - 275 kg Speed - 2 Mach Range - 70 km Flight ceiling - 16 km Sorry, but Barak 8 isn't...
