Afterburner is one of the most important technologies in helping aircraft fly supersonic. To say that every plane with afterburner gets supersonic is of course false because you have to take the aerodynamics, weight, etc into account. Only planes with supercruise capability do not need...

Mod please close this thread. The source is dubious and the intention is frivolous. The story is outright ludicrous.

China needs a smaller government and deregulation of a lot of industries so to let in private competition. Small, private businesses are what drives employment and innovation, not giant state behemoths. The solution is simple, really: cut tax (especially VAT), simply business licensing and...

Care to read the post above you before making uneducated guesses?

I don't think special ops are needed in this area in peace time. India has the ambition to attack China (see ), but it lacks the military prowess. Sufficient border troops and good infrastructure is all we need. Deploying too many soldiers is just a waste of money. In case of an Indian...

:cheesy: Let's have a more lighthearted thread.

Orthodox Christians have been in China since the 5th century. Church of the East in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The blue book serves mostly as a guideline and reference for Chinese businesses that intend to invest in India. We need to understand the substantial political and business risks before sinking billions. Naturally, we rather believe our own analysis than sugarcoated reports from Indian...

Martian, J-10B 1035 is indeed equipped with WS-10A, and we have seen it flying since 2011 as I recall. In two year, assuming it test flies 5 hours per week, it would have only accumulated 540 hours on J-10B 1035. I honestly would prefer 1000 hrs of flying record at least before mass deploying...

Can you say at least WS-15 aims to match the published specs of F-119? Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia WS-15 needs to power the next gen Chinese aircraft with the F-22 and 35 being the primary adversary. Why isn't it sensible to you that China attempts to match the...

That's some idiotic statement. Sinking oil tankers will put Vietnam in the state of war with Taiwan, which also means Vietnam will be in the state of war with the United States. Plus CCP will no doubt declare war on Vietnam as well. Your little country won't have an thread of life left after...

Not if Taiwan captures the murderers. Taiwan navy is much more than the Philippines still.

Let's just say that, the country of jurisdiction is decided by national strength. This is why Europe supported Italy when Italy wanted to keep their marines in Europe, but succumbed to India only after India pulled a fast one. Secondly, it is questionable that the Philippines justice system is...

Let's just capture the murderers and put them in Chinese courts. Let the Filipinos know which jurisdiction they are under. Disagree. We are not murderers. We just need to capture the killers and try them. The sea is in our justice domain.

We need to find that Philippine vessel, capture it, and then put all these murderers on trial in China.

There is little question that Japanese militarism is making a comeback. The United States assisted Osama bin Laden, and now it is assisting Japan. Let's see how this will turn out.

There is absolutely no question that the United States is behind the foreign extremist fighters in Syria. This is not a rebellion. This is an invasion aimed to eliminate whatever adversaries the US perceives in the region.

I don't think the issues can be resolved because neither country will relinquish the claims. Border tension will continue to exist, but as long as diplomacy can keep it in check, China and its southern neighbor will be fine. Japan is a separate issue. Japan's strategy is still aimed at...

Whether the Japanese apologize is not that important. What I am concerned with is whether the Japanese will again attempt to resort to militarism as they feel that they are no longer the No.1 in Asia. The invasion of China was step 2 of Japan's grand strategy to conquer the world. The...

Hong Kong maintains a common law system where court rules mostly based on precedents. In this case, the interpretation of the law by the court indeed becomes the law. Domestic workers were properly informed that they would not obtain residence rights through their contract. Hong Kong's...
