there is no fifth gen mig and the T-50 is too big for carriers. J-31 is Russia's logical choice if it ever wants a medium sized fifth gen fighter.

The only potential deal I see is that Russia will likely end up buying J-31 to power their carrier fleet. Russia has no fifth gen carrier capable jet program. The F-35 is out of question.

You ask why he raises tax? Japan's debt to GDP ratio is already astronomical, and Abe is ordering his minion Haruhiko Koruda to print money like a manic and purchase ever more debt from the Japanese government, with Paul Krugman dancing in the background like a teen cheerleader. If Abe doesn't...

Printing money doesn't work, what a shocker! Japan is toast and Abe Shinzo can resign now. Oh wait, they are going to blame China. Abe will be remembered as the Scammer in Chief in the Abenomics Scheme.

That's the AL-31 in the picture. The rumor is that the engine failed at low altitude.

Lovely. F-35 fires the missiles 100 miles away. The movies shows Tom Cruise pressing the fire button, and .... the end.

Just which part of my post is a political rant?

You don't know what you are talking about. China already has Y-9 which is comparable to C-130 and can be easily converted into a gunship. The Y-30 is in the same class and would be a progression from Y-9. It is hardly a revolutionary design so the difficulty is minimal. Unless you want to...

The AC-130 is best used when you are attacking massive ground force with negligible anti-air capability. The Taliban is no longer a massive ground force. Using the AC-130 to attack small groups is wasteful. It would be far cheaper just to send in special ops to eliminate the cells and avoid...

No. Ac 130 is useful only when you have absolute air superiority

India likes to use the word "vis-a-vis" a lot. China's investment in Pakistan has nothing to do with countering India. Strengthening trade and securing the western region is China's objective. You sound like a sour grape that's all. If Modi hasn't been a diplomatic dufus China would have...

If the Indian Ocean is India's backyard, how come the most powerful navy there is the US fifth fleet, then?

CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive is one of the train car suppliers I believe. This shows that Chinese train cars are of good quality, too. Delhi Metro gets Chinese-made rail cars - The Times of India BEIJING: A Chinese train manufacturing firm today said it has sold 21 rail compartments to...

China will put full support behind Iran, the descendants of an old civilization and the only country besides Syria committed to fight the terrorist ISIS.

Osama bin Laden and ISIS are both US creations that bite the US in the end.

First of all, the F-35 aluminum is of totally different alloy. It is an aluminum based alloy, but different from a soda can. You need expensive refinery process, and then expensive robotic, laser machinery to create the frame. So, no, mineral itself is free, but the machines that would...

When it comes to half Japanese, half white, the only person coming to mind is Maria Ozawa, lol.

Some people are professional comparison makers, lol. Back in 2001, the widely held view in the western world and India was that China was about to collapse post 1997 Asian crisis. Gordon Chang's book was flying off the shelves.

"Tibet's Independence, India's Security". That sums up pretty much what the whole "Free Tibet" movement is about.

Labor is a small percentage in the manufacturing process. The material you use to make the weapons, such as steel, etc... and running expenses such as petro are all traded internationally and hence, cannot be calculated with PPP. That's why PPP is meaningless unless you measure services, such...
