Here is the actual report and it differs from the media greatly http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/pdfs/070523-China-Military-Power-final.pdf For one, there is no mention of MIRV and 2nd, it reads that the Chinese are just as confused about what they're doing as we are trying to read them.

I'm not worry about it one bit. You're just showing me speculation. The real time data is another matter altogether. Son, Backfire and Badger pilots have been trying to do what you're suggesting ... WITHOUT the limitations of a ballistic arc that is characterized by the weapon you're trying...

And to the other point, where is the target at the point of impact as compared to the point of launch and can you show me that your Artificial Intelligence can figure it out.

I'm sorry ... unless you can show me where the Chinese have achieved when the rest of the world's leading military powers have failed, this is all just ... idiotic speculation. We have NOT achieved a 50% BM, 50% cruise missile anywhere anytime and to suggest the Chinese have achieved this ... is...

The InA would have better luck at getting the job done by contracting out the home support roles ... ie, National Headquarters Clerks. Anything more than that, you better expect that idiot to be at least be able to handle a rifle.

I will add to this. I don't know other countries' experiences other than Canada but I suspect they are the same. We have had women passing the Jump Company/Para Courses. I know a few Brit women even passed the SAS course but NONE were invited to joint the prestigious battalions. Why? Because...

NO! It is NOT possible to hit a moving target with a BM. Think this through. Even with SRBMs, ie SCUDs, what is the time of detection to the to the time of launch to the time of impact. Where is the moving target in all that time? This is all bull crap. Otherwise, we would have been laying...

There is a big difference between women combatants and women serving in the combat arms. Women have been fighting wars since the days of the caveman. Threaten a baby and you will see just how determined a mother can be. However, serving in the combat arms is a whole another issue. Actual combat...

I've seen it done on both. Direct fire test condition range from 7.62AK to the 7.62NATO.

If you want to command a squadron or get a star on your shoulder, you better sit behind a desk for at least half your career.

As a long time PLA watcher, let me give you a piece of advice, do NOT subscribe to opinions that cannot be readily be backed up by open sources ... unless you know the person personally and can vouch for his credentials and even then, keep your mouth shut. The person tells you in confidence and...

Sir, Without compromising any OPSEC, did you not have communications with the tower ... and the tower with the gun crews?

Sir, I don't know what bugs me more. That those bellycrawlers don't know friend from foe or the fact that they missed.

I gave up predicting the future when I didn't predict the fall of the Berlin Wall. Instead, I thought I was going to see a nuclear fireball or my grand kids would still see the Berlin Wall. At this point in time, I don't see the need for nuclear release by anyone. There are no issues of...

There were so many errors made by both pilots that it was a wonder that anyone survived. Without the black boxes and their data available to the public, we can only speculate what actually went on. There are bold pilots and there are old pilots but there are no old and bold pilots...

I was commenting on both sides. The entire incident could have been avoided if just one side followed protocol. Lt. Osborn should have gotten the hell out of there after the 2nd thump and Cmdr Wang Wei should have maintained minimum safe distance. And the EEZ is not Chinese territorial...

Stuart Slade related a story about a PLA Officer visiting the US who boasted that China, of all countries on earth, could survive a nuclear war. Stuart and his friends showed him what kind of targeting would be employed if the goal was genocide. With the prevailing winds and the collapse of...

Goes to show that flyboys everywhere have more balls than brains. One of their few success stories. The original J-11 (not the SU-27s) and J-12s went nowhere. The Israelis got more to do with that than Shenyang.

There is so much ignorance around DU that it continues to manifest itself. DU by itself is a toxic material but so is the mercury in the batteries of all vehicles and lead can be found everywhere. Zraver is right that there is no CONCLUSIVE evidence that DU by itself is anymore damaging than...

Never seen the J8s in the attack role.
