Truly great to see! May this friendship withstand all tests of time.

We better have at least that many hulls completed for the 100th anniversary of the PLA.

Starting from the 1:28 mark, you can see what I presume to be Russian soldiers training with our QBZ-95. Which specific parts?

Can someone who is more knowledgeable on Pakistan related matters tell me how big a role the military plays in politics within the country? I heard they play a huge part regarding internal affair in conjunction with the elected government, which actually gave me added confidence for the...

Offering great value for money was precisely how China managed to dominate the market for smartphones within India, so there were no surprises the same formula worked in the continent of Africa.

Speaking of the e-commerce market, calculations of the gross national product for China do not include them yet. Allegedly the method will be updated soon and follow the standard used by most other countries. Interesting to learn that Russia did not shift around much in terms of rank despite...

Was this particular shot originally from a video?

Just a couple of weeks ago, Putin awarded Xi the highest order of the Russian Federation - the Order of St. Andrew. While it does not represent anything concrete, I do envision greater mutual trust in the decades to come...

The forum often crashes due to pictures from this particular thread in my case as well. Perhaps some of them need to be enclosed within spoilers if possible so that not all of them need to be loaded right from the start.

Damn. There are way too many high resolution pictures on these last few page. My browser is literally incapable of loading all of them at once. Surely I cannot be the only user here with that issue.

I was actually not the one who brought that up here, as I believe you were. My comments on this entire page have all been targeting another matter, which has been the government and their mismanagement.

No kidding. That boasting of their supposed engines honestly makes them look ridiculous.

To be fair, most countries got hit quite badly from the Great Recession. Even shipbuilders in the far east were heavily impacted by reduced demand in those years. More critical sectors within the country should have been controlled more effectively no matter the economic situation, with the...

That only further illustrates how their government was unable to manage such a military construction project, which had been my point from the beginning as Poland very much shares that problem with India.
