Would be hard to kill someone 200 years ago. Sure we sometimes use other peoples stuff, but we come up with a lot of our own also. If you copy like 5 times as much as everybody else don't be surprised when people notice. It is efficient but it's not winning any good will and china can't do...
You have to go back to the 1700s I see quite telling. We are flattered that you think our designs and way of doing things is the best. Now if you would take our governance model you would be golden. The russians were not as good at stealing tech as the chinese have been in recent years. Times...
Destruction of satellites can go both ways, even sm-3 can do it. It will be hard to ambush a plane what is harder to spot and has better eyes than you. This plan seems to gamble on the US pilots being very unlucky or stupid. The firing of an aim-120 is far more likely to be the first than...
Not really, I see articles everywhere talking about the "operational J-20". I take what I can get, seeing as there isn't much else other than rando's on the internet. I didn't even say it was a good source so why so sore about it? I don't follow them close enough to even know who Minnie is that...
F-35 in a high end war will have f-22 backup and f-35 is designed to complement f-22. F-35 as of now but maybe not in the future has a number of sensors and avionics f-22 lacks and f-22 has the raw performance and some stealth differences and extra missiles f-35 lacks.
I will have to assume...
Actually I am not so sure. Our media are communist sympathizers and are notorious for low quality across the board. The nytimes to my knowledge does not have the most unbiased reputation. I read the article and like so many other things we'll see.
It depends on both stealth and avionics, f-22 most likely has better stealth given what info is available and probably better radar but I don't know about ESM and j-20 has that EOTS. I also doubt the avionics will match f-22/35, this is their first generation stealth and that also includes the...
F-22 has the advantage since it surprised the rafale, spectra would be trying to make out what f-22's radar lpi signals are while aim-120d is closing in and about to go active. Rafale is going to have to react to the missile and still won't know where f-22 is let alone have enough info to fire...
The government is tight lipped, the contractors aren't saying much and there is plenty of reason to believe j-20 is not finished yet so why is it so ridiculous to at least bring up claims? It's not like they sound outlandish, is the some sort of wrong think? Communist prc are under tariffs and...
That image even if real doesn't prove all the crazy things you said, any fighter can do that but all the active cancellation and the passive God sensor you describe is not supported by any evidence.
SCMP posts some articles among others. Listed issues include stealth, the IRST, and some others but the engines seem to get the most publicity. I don't see how all that can be fixed and the design altered without additional billions.
No I hate it when people jump the gun and assume something is either what it's not or what it's not proven to be. I just hate unfounded hype and I have seen it so many times.
What if this photonics tech isn't mature enough? Since its a new tech it's automatically more capable? This reminds me of that chinese quantum radar crap but they said maybe they could detect "stealth" at 60km. Can't low frequency radars already do that or better? Bottom line is I don't care...
