    US Naval Officer spent 5 days onboard an Indian Navy warship, INS Delhi

    Proof of someone trying real hard to redirect the conversation away from the topic at hand. If the Reddit account was deleted by Tom due to improper conduct then CardSharp's comment will go unanswered. Another thing that I noticed about the username (small detail really), m0tbaille. The guy...

    Japan Going ahead with ATD-X!!!

    Source? I agree that Japan have all the needed tech knowledge to build one which is why I"m surprised that they haven't tried to build their own fighters. Some have pointed out that they don't have the experience in building engines. I don't think that would be a problem for them or they...

    China's Area 51 found!!!!

    I doubt anti-gravity propulsion systems would require massive fans. I'd agree it looks cool but it's really a large target for UCAV's. If the carrier is traveling that fast then likely no one will be on deck. I'm sure the crew would be wearing some kind of harness to prevent from falling off it.

    Japan Calls for China To Explain Aircraft Carrier

    It would be better if they responded with 'Because.' :lol:

    "The US military's secret military "

    I got a feeling that US Special Forces are going to bypass the airport.

    Not much to look at, IMO.

    19 Chinese expeditionary force to return the remains of soldiers (Photos)

    Were these communist or nationalist soldiers?

    Tank Man FTW!!! I seriously doubt many people would have the fortitude to do what he did (myself included). On a lighter note, Vancouver Canuck Goaltender Luongo in every !@#$ critical playoff game:

    "The US military's secret military "

    Not surprised if Russia has the same "program" but China? I doubt such people would publicly comment on this article here on PDF. The Americans can pretty much do anything given the number of bases throughout the World along with their numerous carriers.

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    O'rly?! Any more info? If this is true then it would explain why the Pentagon release that they have a laser type weapon as well. Unfortunately, I don't think your target will just sit there to get shot at.

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    Yeah, I read that already. As I stated in CDF, it all boils down to if those individuals care on what they do. Like any other industry, if the waitress doesn't care then you'll get crap service. It takes a couple of decades to design and build a jet fighter. So, why the surprise on a ship...

    Markets rally as Italy asks China for bailout help

    If food prices go up, everyone, including Vietnam, will pay a higher price. I'm in Canada and we're paying a higher price for staple foods too.

    Chinese troops enter Indian territory; dismantle bunkers

    Nope. However, that wouldn't stop their lobbyists advocating for another war.

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    How do you know, from looking at the posted pictures, that people are living in these 'camps'? Maybe it's nothing more than a picnic table so that the workers can take their tea(?) breaks (I doubt they drink coffee). Who cares what the shipyard looks like? If it works for them then so be it.

    Taliban execute 16 Pakistani policemen on video

    I've seen a video (presumably from Iraq) of someone getting their throat cut. THAT was difficult to watch. If the executed were policemen then RIP. If I was in their position, I would expect that kind of end if captured so it's best to die fighting (even if I had to resort to throwing stones)...

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    I take it that the steam catapult system will be used as opposed to the electromagnetic one which the Ford-class will use.

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    Will the ex-Varyag ever see active duty? I'm so confused why they are implementing different types of launch systems. Wouldn't that just add more complexity to training? Will both carriers be the same size?

    Two new Type-052C destroyers in Shanghai Jiangnan shipyard

    I read that China's two indigenous carriers will use the ski-jump and a conventional power plant. Does China have AEW's that can launch from such a setup?
