No not weird... just a different time in history. Btw Nixon was a moron, i'm pretty sure 99% of Americans would agree with me here. But none the less, Chinese still wussed out because they didn't want to face an army that was ready for them. Validates what the Indian members are saying, when...
As one of the other posters pointed out here, the reason the Chinese didn't involve itself in the 1971 India-Pakistan war was because the Indians were well prepared for that eventuality so Chinese sat idle.
Seems to me like India is making a wise choice.
1962 unprepared = Chinese win. 1967 &...
They posted an article on their own forum. No need for Chinese to be here is there?
We democracies have this thing called freedom of the press, anyone is free to report what he/she wants. Unfortunately Chinese don't have this basic right. Everything that comes out of your media is either...
Can't accept reality so must attack the poster? Is that what they teach you at the Chinese Shill School?

1.) When foreigner makes fun of our country proceed with abusive ad hominem attack.
Shit happens. We'll pull 30 million out of our seat cushions to pay for this.
Let me know the next time one of our rockets crash lands back to earth killing an entire village, then maybe we'll care.

Because your country-men decided to pollute this thread with snide remarks and statements like the above.
Buying the parts off the shelf and assembling them in your country does not mean you make planes, it means you assemble them. Those parts will not be available come war time.
Fixed it...
40 years is a massive exaggeration wouldn't you say mate? I mean I like to harp on other countries failures as much as the next person, but you have to consider a few things before harping on a country trying to improve their infrastructure and stature on the world stage in a peaceful manner...
Killing the defense industry here in the USA is never going to happen. Curbing useless spending on the other hand must happen. Hopefully you can realize the difference between the two (not holding my breath though).
Btw we have 180 5th generation jets... that's 180 more than any other nation...
I'm American born in America (contrary to popular belief i'm not indian), but I do work for the Aviation Industry. Looks like I'm gonna be out $100 bucks unless either the Pats or Broncos can put up 14 more points. Surprised that the Broncos finally decided to start playing defense, just wish...
This is one of the more sane posts I've seen here. Chinese can develop the technology, the problem is they don't have it right now. Same with the Indians, they can develop the technology, but the fine-tuning aspects of building a fighter jet engine don't just come overnight.
You have to...
Thats not the point. Point is, India is buying what they are producing.
Notice the part in parenthesis where I said without our assistance. The F-CK-1 is a jet we built for them because the Chinese threw a hissy fit when we tried to export the latest F-16's to Taiwan.
I think you're confused, JF-17 is the only fighter jet that it's host country won't even induct.
This coming from a Taiwanese poster? Build your own fighter jet (without our assistance) and then maybe you can sit at the big boys table.
a fighter jet with quality parts for 26 million or a...
Would this be the Chinese engine that requires servicing every 30 hours? Even the dumbest of countries would say "no thank you"
There's a reason why the Chinese 5th gen prototypes still use the AL-31 engines... its because the Chinese engines are a good 10 years away from being considered a...
