what is wrong with this dude? are we down to the point where Americans have to glee about China losing some popularity in Europe to feel better? This is really pathetic.

There was an agreement recently between China and Saudi Arabia to build refineries in BRI countries. It seems to me that Pakistan would be one country they had in mind.

I'm not really sure what's wrong with people on this thread. China does not get involved militarily in these conflict. It only has a mutual defense treaty with North Korea. Even with NK, it can't stop the Koreans from doing anything. So, the idea that China can stop Myanmar is just...

I don't really get the point here. If you want China's protection, you can go to China and offer something to China in exchange for that. China does not want to just get involved in other country's affairs. China will be able to sell you weapons for much better deals than other countries...

I mean I don't understand why anyone thinks pla needs to do something here. This is a signal that us military wants to move on from this crisis. And you saw that pla didn't really react much here. Now, if us navy sent a carrier through, that would have been a problem.

I don't understand why people think anything needs to happen here. This is normal freedom of navigation. If anything, this is a pretty weak gesture (sending ships slated for retirement in a couple of years) and probably a signal from us military that they want to dial down the tension.

Hmm, in a lot of relevant field, china is already more advanced. Basically all the clean energy related ones. Bio tech, ai and quantum computing, things are harder to tell. Semiconductor is the next major one. The problem is that America is run by wall Street, lobbyists and some really...

There are definitely quite a few natsec types in DC trying to come up with any possible way so that US doesn't suffer a huge loss in a potential conflict, because that's what all the DoD war games are telling them. Elbridge Colby is having a real hard time with this. He has also been trying to...

I this a joke? This is what a contact of my with classified information has said about j-10. on top of that PL-15 is the most capable AAM out there. The AESA seeker on PL-15 is a huge game changer. watch this clip from US Army. The guy that wrote ATP 7-100-3 said here starting in around...

Yes, that's because uk is terrified of the end of the anglo American hegemony. It's also about power for these neocons.

You do realize that they are also building floating nuclear power plant, right? Check acpr50s.

No they have not. They haven't even picked a vendor yet. To put things into context, it took 14 years from when Lockheed got picked for f22 project to when it actually achieved ioc. This 6th gen project is a long way off. I see nothing in there that would indicate a 6th gen design. They are...

I was responding to someone that said Pakistan should listen to America and Saudi Arabia but tell china to bugger off. If Pakistan wants to tell china to go **** off, it can do that. China has been Pakistan's friend for a long time and if Pakistan can't appreciate that, it is free to find a...

Whats up with this guy so anti china? China doesn't meddle in Pakistani politics. If Pakistan doesnt want to be china's allies, it is free to find someone else to help support it against India. Hint, western countries are not on your side!

A few years ago, j10c brochure showed it having 1240 km combat radius with A2A refueling and 2900km ferry range. I'm not sure what it's combat radius without refueling it is. It would depend on flight profile and payload obviously. I'd expect it have longer combat radius than JF-17 and F-16C

That depends on what you would define as "frigate". Constellation class is called a frigate. Type 26 is frigate despite being humongous. If Bangladesh wants a 4000t class surface combatant, I think 054A would be the best choice in terms of capability and cost.

Aside from their diesel submarine, which are actually the best in the world, what else do they have that is top tier?

You mean a successful modern economy that has lifted a billion people out of poverty? China and Bangladesh have always had a very close relationship. It's absolutely natural for china to tell Bangladesh that friends do not join pacts that are set up against each other. You mean a successful...

Japan produces weapons that only Japan could afford. Seriously, it's amusing to me that Japan thinks it can be competitive in the international market with it's very high costs and second tier capabilities.

It's pretty clear at this point that argentinian air force likes jf17 and want to get it, but there is a lot of us political pressure against that. It's either jf17 or nothing at all for Argentina. If I were caac, I would just offer generous terms on jf17. Better to lock in a new customer...
