This should be such a basic and obvious point. Us will never sell it's top secret stuff to India. I am really amazed that people don't get it.

China has one of the most advanced awacs in the world with KJ500. It's just not available for export, since it's one generation ahead of kj2000 and phalcon type of radar. More importantly, the future of awacs is moving toward distributed and networking type of awacs. The current generation of...

I did see that Pakistan got ylc8e recently. This is a very advanced early warning radar. It's capable of detecting stealth aircraft from a long way off and cue air defense radar and aircraft fire control radar. China actually has probably the most capable air defense and early warning radar...

Do not make the mistake of overestimating the chips used in military aircraft. Think about how old F-22 is and what kind of military grade chips were available at the time? Even in China, the chips used in modern military aircraft are not produced by SMIC or YMTC. Those are not rugged enough...

Keep in mind that my comment was about Akinci. It actually is harder to track TB-2, because it is smaller (far lower RCS than Akinci) and flies lower. A lot of your standard ground radar will have a harder time to track this type of UAVs. You can see that Russians are also having similar...

EMCON - emission control. part of being stealthy is keeping your electronic emissions from getting picked up. All the stealth aircraft should have some level of this. You can also argue that any radar/EW suite with LPI properties and utilizing LPI form of communication have emission control.

Please actually listen to the original interview and what Gen Wilsbach said. It's really disheartening to see people twist the original comments and then get posted without the context of the question/answers.

Is there any reason to create a thread like this to just mock Indians? Let's spare the humiliating future for our Indian friends a little bit.

Check the price tag on that! Craziness. I bet the Chinese equivalent will not cost anywhere that much.

having 3 production aircraft does not mean you achieved IOC. At the current pace, Russia will be buying advanced weaponry from China. By the second half of this decade, China will be actively promoting FC-31 and unmanned UCAV to export customers. As a top tier ally, Pakistan will have access...

The reason is that with Ukraine war and being cut off from the West, Russia would be lucky to get Su-57 finished let alone any other major items. It's kind of pointless to have a UCAV teaming with a non-existent manned fighter jet. Russian EW is really weak...

Have you seen the nozzle on that thing? Not VLO to the same level at all. If this Ukrainian conflict tells anything, it would be that Russian EW and precision strike technology is really bad. And more importantly, Russia won't have the money to finish developing that thing. As for the first...

I will guarantee one thing. China is not going to export j20 or gj11 before 2027. If you don't know why, you have not been following pla close enough. Also, they can't sell icbm to anyone. I will say this. For all the items that people on this forum want to buy, I am really surprised no one...

I can't disagree with any of that. However, I guess you have not heard of the Divine Eagle UAV. http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.com/p/uavucav-ii.html Just the first generation of this type of airborne anti-stealth platform. In the future, you are going to have UAVs which will more or...

Block 70 has greater than 1200 km combat radius? I find that to be hard to believe. At this point, PL-15 should be better than AIM-120D and PL-10 should be better than AIM-9X. Maybe my impression of F-16V is from ROCAF's constant struggles against J-16, but I don't sense it's a going to have...

Of course China needs to own more gold. Owning too much USD is a liability. Remember, USD became the reserve currency in large part to the gold holdings

Detecting F-35 is not particular difficult actually. With anti-stealth radar, they can detect general direction of F-35 from probably 200 km out. F-35 has certain stealth issues on the sides and definitely in the rear. After some time away home base and on long deployment at sea, the stealth...

Keep in mind in that same interview, the Pacific Air Force commander said that E-3C can't detect J-20 at useful range, but believe that E-7 can. That should be a validation of how good J-20's stealth is. It also shows that E-7 with L band radar would have much better success at tracking...

Russians in fact have asked China for drones. In modern warfare, there is a real need for having TB-2 type of UCAVs since they work well as low RCS/lower altitude aerial assets attacking ground troops. As the technology continue to develop, this type of UCAV will basically replace what CAS...

That's not necessarily the photo they took of J-20. Those looks like photos taken by accompanying aircraft.
