we can stop a salvo launch of MRBM and ICBM. we can't stop MIRVS. SK and Japan will be f*** all those MLRS and scuds will overwhelm any missile defense system.
like I said NK big missiles like the Musadan and KN-14 haven't proven they are reliable. if NK only has 10 or less nukes that isn't...
THAAD is designed to take out MRBM that will target Guam and Hawaii, no way will it be able to stop 100s if not 1000s of NK SRBM
NK ICBM aren't cheap and neither is the nuclear warheads. they will have a limited amount for the next 5 years.
also NK has a long track record of failures. most...
they got the brains, but they need money. they need experience. it's hard building a jet engine from scratch. throw the money in and work with the Russians or French to build a jet engine, take that knowledge to build a even better engine in the future.
Indians need to invest 100's of billion of dollars in R&D, but they only put in the minimum. take for instance Kaveri jet engine. they've been working on that for what 30 years and the budget has been less than $1 billion dollars, haha. not going to work.
at least with China they put the...
this is great, but to be honest I can't wait til the next summer Olympics in China. it's just hosting the Olympics is just so d*** expensive, and China likes to go all out for these things. let them bare the tab.
all that money Saudi Arbia has and yet it's Muslim engineers can't develop UAVs. Saudi Arabia should take a good long look at Israel and Iran and ponder why they unable to achieve that level of self reliance and ingenuity
1) is a fact. til China actually goes to war with against India or Vietnam. most of Chinese equipment is untested in a real war
2) is a fact.
3)is speculation, but Russia tends to go all in for super maneuverability
4) is an assumption, but stealth aircraft isn't cheap.
my point is Russia is far ahead in radar technology
J-20 is meant to replace Flanker in air-superiority role
J-8II is a interceptor
J-10 is a low cost multi-role
China doesn't need Russia planes unless J-20 is insanely expensive to build or China wants the AL-41 engine and Irbis-E radar...
China is nowhere near Russia in the field of radar and EW.
this is why China is buying Su-35 and S-400. let me guess China is buying S-400 to test against HQ-9, lol
China will buy S-500 in the next 10 years as well.
if China buys more Su-35 then that will debunk your claim they just wanna test it against J-20.
J-20 by default is a better aircraft than Su-35, but it's the engine and radar is what get's China blushing with envy.
Pak-FA once it's ready will blow J-20 out if China hasn't fixed WS-15.
why is China still buying Flankers?? either Chinese jet engines and radars are still way way behind Russia or J-20 costs 3 to 4 times as much as Su-35 is J-20 really a $150 to $200 million fighter :o:
China should off to buy 2,000 AL-41 that's enough engines equip 250 J-20 and replace both...
I can foresee the tourism sector drying up in North Africa (Morocco,Algeria,Tunisia,Egypt) and Turkey if ISIS get's a strong foothold. Bangladesh can't even get started.
