No plane built without significant heat resistant materials can travel far at those improbable speeds.
I thought what is seen here was a space rocket at first. Haha.
I assume the very next aircraft carrier for our navy will be using this new electromagnetic aircraft launch system instead of steam catapults then?
Do you have a link for that video in question?
ORP Ślązak for the navy of Poland is just a patrol boat and it took a grand total of fourteen years to be constructed from 2001 to 2015. In fact the ship is right now still being fitted out two years after it was launched.
Finally! It was about time really. During the past month I was thinking maybe it would have been simpler if the ship was launched a few months later on the first of August when most of the outfitting will be completed.
If the later variants of the JF-17 and the upcoming J-31 do end up sharing the same engine in the future, then it would be an even clearer sign the original choice was the correct one.
Can you explain what you are referring to here exactly? It was my assumption that improved avionics for Block 3 of the JF-17 will make it a relatively even match against the F-16.
It must be pretty alarming to see one driving towards you in the opposite lane. Haha.
Here is a photo of a few new ones being transported via train, so I guess that could be true.
Just to add more, the Republic of Vietnam Navy incorrectly thought far more capable naval reinforcements from China were on route and it was this false belief that caused their quick retreat.
Was there a point to not using these more expensive vessels for the Pakistan Navy instead? They would be incredibly potent against enemy ships if they were armed like our variants from China. Surely a paramilitary force like the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency has fewer needs for such a large...
I watched a documentary on this recently. While the ships in our fleet had greater tonnage in comparison, their cannons were more advanced and fired much quicker. This was precisely the reason why better technology matters.
There is a good chance that Pakistan will be able to buy the J-31 from China even before Russia and Sukhoi officially deliver variants of their stealth fighter jets to India.
