When two great cultures meet, new things often are born. The arts are no exception.
As such, 60 paintings and 20 sculptures from a group of Arabic artists went on display at the National...
The PLAN has not acknowledged it but it is obvious to see that the requirement of a heavy fighter for PLAN. That being said, it is not an imminent requirement as PLAN is still in the process of building up its AC numbers and J16 is a capable 4-gen heavy fighter at this stage, which is sufficient...
Agree but I guess if SAC wants to compete Navy’s heavy fighter, they needs a lot more than “tweaks” to get FC31 into the heavy class. Navy’s top of the line would need to be at least the same size of J20, preferably a little larger, in order to carry more fuel and ammunition. Given FC31...
Well theoretically there is nothing to stop CAC to come up with an alternative design. They probably need to consider 3 things 1) how much spare design capacity can be diverted from their main line, namely J20. 2) depending on 1), how likely can their proposal be vastly superior compared to FC31...
Yes, having one air superiority fighter doesn’t lessen the need of another one with slightly different role. Having both top of the line, performance oriented fighter and a lighter, more economical (relatively speaking), still capable fighter is a practical and flexible configuration for an Air...
The following is based on a recent blog of a reputable military blogger regarding FC31 project, some of which have been shared above but hope this is a more complete story:

Many people still think that CPEC is just a trade route through Pakistan for Chinese goods despite that vast majority of the investment is going to the energy sector and little work on upgrading Karakoram Highway, which would be a key component to become a proper route. They seem to resist and...
My thoughts is that China has been preoccupied with the task of building its economical strength internally through a trial approach. The merit of Chinese system, reflected by the economical achievement, has only been recognized by China itself in the last 5-10 years, which is relatively recent...
I have been here for some time and have the pleasure to see Indus Pakistan’s view in many different discussions. He just knows a lot more about the ground reality in Pakistan and the difficulty than I do. While I view the future of Gwadar, CPEC and Pakistan over a long term very optimistically...
With a large population and growing economy, India is a player that both China and US are keen to recruit and at least prevent it from being recruited to the other side. China should be quite happy as long as India stays neutral.
It appears that India’s elite class is very conscious that it is...
Haha, I am struggled to see why you would care so much about CPEC in the first place. If there is no economical activities, then so be it. You are not suffering any loss if it does not work, aren’t you?
The details are not secret, they are only disclosed to the concerning parties or their...
