    Chinese Aero Engine information thread

    Design for WS-19 is not fixed yet so they are making changes to the material/composition even as we speak. It is, however, using a new computer aided design process and supposedly is progressing much faster than anticipated as per the chief designer. It may end up being the first turbofan that...

    Russians reluctantly embrace Chinese cars after Western brands depart

    For starters, that’s untrue. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/china-oceanlight-supercomputer-competes-for-gordon-bell-prize https://www.tomshardware.com/news/two-chinese-exascale-supercomputers

    Khalistanis stamping on Indian flag at Indian High Commission, London

    Can mods please change the title? I clicked on it expecting something NSFW but found a perfectly innocuous image of Sikhs stamping their feet on a flag.

    Chinese Aero Engine information thread

    Almost a hundred pages of rumors, boasts, bashing, arguments, etc. But when something exciting has finally happened, thread is silent.

    Russians reluctantly embrace Chinese cars after Western brands depart

    Don’t know about the other firms but Haval series of SUVs have pretty good reviews in Australia/New Zealand and South Africa. They are very popular cars within China too. I feel that the journalist is making a sweeping characterization of all Chinese auto exports to Russia with just a few...

    Russians reluctantly embrace Chinese cars after Western brands depart

    That’s why more Chinese automakers crap on BYD than the so called “foreign agents” lmao. They are making everyone look incompetent.

    PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

    @HRK don’t be sad for them. Be happy. They lived to see their baby become mature and flourish into three different variants. Before this some Chinese aviation engineers poured countless hours into a project only for it to get cancelled at the last minute.

    This is how financially difficult the engineers were when J-10 was under development.

    Report: 60% of Myanmar's JF-17 fleet continues to remain grounded

    Article description is vague but it is obvious that they meant missile malfunction rather than misfire. I don’t think you can unintentionally misfire a SAM.

    Indian Army Accidentally Fires 3 SAMs in Exercise.

    Are you implying that this was a secret operation and that the missiles shot down intruding Pakistanis J-10C/F-16? Now that I think of it the parade must be cancelled for a reason, and I don’t buy the bad weather excuse for one second.

    Indian Army Accidentally Fires 3 SAMs in Exercise.

    How do you accidentally fire a SAM? Even with MANPADs there is a safety toggle if I am not mistaken.

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Using your image to make a point. Hopefully you don't mind @Indos. From a layman's perspective the bulge behind the canopy sure makes the aircraft's head look big doesn't it? Going by intuition it must add considerable drag to the aircraft and must've been done only to increase internal space...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Well, I am quite a s**t poster myself. It’s just that I mostly keep analytical content separate from lame memes. Additional insights I posted on another forum: A bit of clarification on what I meant. Having a nose pitot would interfere with the radar to some extent, and once a fifth gen...
