When you aren't stealthy ship radars, ground based radars and airborne radars see you from hundreds of kms. Its about the radar horizon as the limiting factor. If it is not emitting any signals to pick up and track it will stand a better chance the what I said before still applies. If f-35s are...

China has spent at least 5 billion on censoring chinese internet and more in spreading this censorship around the world. Why is china claiming all the land and water around it if it's so peaceful? Why all this military build up? Nobody was threatening to invade china. I think the "middle...

Well first of all using they are extreme is a hypocritical argument if you are backing the extremist communist party. I don't like muzzies either but they are not the only ones the chicom government oppresses. US has higher life expectancy, didn't take long to find that. 28% of deaths in china...

I'm saying that with an unstealthy flanker and f-35's patrolling 400km is cutting it close.

AWACS are becoming increasingly irrelevant in the Age of 5th gen fighters. They have very capable sensors, can get much closer to make up for whatever sensor power they lack and have the weapons to do something about it. AWACS can't seem to help opfor take down f-22's in exercises like red flag.

Governments care about power, that's it. Everything is a means to that end. They want people to either think they care or that they are needed far more than they are. Even western leaders have an elitist attitude despite a more open culture and in the case of the US a culture of individual...

E2D hawkeye? Ok well that has another group of countermeasures.

A chinese flanker having to get even 400km with that big *** thing hanging off it from one of those protected assets is risky, it will need every km it can get. If it launches at max range it lowers the hit probability also. I imagine the AWACS itself could probably detect it before launch and...

GaN doesn't automatically equal better performance, that's why I added specs, you just gave your opinion. And you really think Spy-1d is still 80 tech? There's a reason it's called spy-1D the D at the end makes a big difference. The specs I would given suggest the chinese radar is still behind...

Depends on where you are talking about. You guys are tools the government doens't even pretend to care about your rights, I think that's what you should care about.

It's called freedom, you know the ability to go where you want when you want. I know control freaks hate that.

And 100 million han chinese starve? I said isn't insisting on the communist party line or the highway an extremist position?

I thought most sources put 120D at 160-180km and it is a well tested missile and design with combat experience so I wouldn't take it lightly. Anybody can make a big fat missile with long range but it's the guidance and delivery that count a lot. If "200+km is really like 205km than it seems a...

Is that their tomahawk type missile? Is that smog in the picture?

Aim-120D is also long range. Is the pl-21 the one they are claiming is 300km+?

I thought pl-15 was their aim-120D competition.

And we can all see them for the tools they are, I don't see the problem.

Why would they be?

I would be surprised if it achieved spy-1D performance.
