I know and agree with you. The Chinese want dominance and full control without saying it. With the US, it wants relationships and mutual understanding. But with the US, aid is aid. Not loans that one is paying back, with high interest AND 75-80% of the loan's related work is also being done by...
Good post. Pakistan should've been doing R&D on SD-10 to create it's own AAM and acquire FD series of anti-missile/A2AD. CMAKG provides a good platform to further increase in range and to do more R&D, etc. It's time Pakistan built its own AAM's / supersonic AShM's, etc, with ToT from China or...
For Naval role, you'll still need a dedicated Naval arm. Multiple AC's parked out of the Pakistani EEZ and bases across the border will make it very difficult to manage the battle and hundreds of miles of ocean with 2 missile per jet firing capability. So the "heavies" are becoming a critical...
On another thread, I pointed out that China expects about half a million Chinese in the next two years to live in Pakistan and why these jobs aren't given to Pakistanis. A few people from your country posted that Pakistan had no labor power and that it was the Pakistani public's fault, when in...
This is truly shameful journalism. Sad to see this level of propaganda on serious world matters. Unbelievable, video games and actors being used to portray a large military operation! There should be credentials to become a journalist. I think these media outlets may be supported by a branch of...
China is starting to build it's own air craft manufacturing. Both you and I know that. In fact, Boeing and Airbus will start to have reduce share as things move forward like it's with everything China does. So when COMAC and other support organizations will have literally millions of parts to...
Is that the best answer you could come up with? Were the Russians not a big power with 15000 nukes? Instead of calling me insults (a common sign the other party can't intellectually answer you), how about you quantify a counter argument to what I've stated? I am here to discuss and debate as...
This is rather an emotional response than a fact-based post.
1) The US Navy's 2/3 CBG's in SCS mean the Chinese navy is 100% countered. Add Australia's submarines and ships, IN ships and submarines and UK's navy (not even touching EU yet).
2) Add 300-400 ready to go -22's and -35's at all times...
You got to start somewhere. Without prior R&D done on JFT air frames, the expertise would have to either be brought in, or this work starts from scratch. Which is why 2/3 out of the 4 designs are rather stealthy examples with much reduced RCS and RAMs, than true stealth aircrafts.
Btw, I don't...
Very sensible and logical conclusion. China can't win from the US militarily. Now add US, Australia and India in the equation and it's a lost battle. This isn't WWII that there are "blocks" to go against each other. Add Vietnam and a much stronger Taiwan in the mix too. It is wise to sit down...
Indians are building their own stealth air crafts. With their economy at now number 3 and stock market at number 3 by 2024, they don't need Russian tech as due to heavy local funding, they can design AMCA that way. I personally wouldn't venture out to Pak-Fa for the PAF. I think the Chinese J-20...
Ok, let's start. I KNOW, Pakistan was building some parts for commercial aircraft and that would mean Boeing. So why can't China establish industry in Pakistan? The US did that for India and the tech Industry is essentially now owned by India in the US. This was all carefully planned out to...
I've mentioned here before that the US air craft manufacturing will now work very fast. Expect Gen 6 fighter jet project to start trials 5 years ahead at the least. The -16's (up until block 52), -15 C's, F-18A's and A-10's will be retired starting next 2-3 years to make room for -35 and 6th gen...
I can see "B" being a future evolution of the JF-17 (or JF-18 then) becoming the Stealth platform. And "D" an evolution of J-10C air frame. Both are highly do-able.
Interesting. Benefits to who? You are investing inti their country, using Chinese labor and flooding their markets and killing their economy with your products. Where is the benefit for Pakistan here? Poor country lost whatever economy it used to have (minus the real estate sector).
In other words, since Pakistan (a Muslim country) and China (a communist country) don't share the same ideology, therefor Pakistan has to be treated as a client state vs. a partner? Whatever happened to "friendship stronger than steel, higher than Himalayas and sweeter than Honey"??
Wait, I am really confused. I just read on another thread that the finance minister is putting in strict measures to "stop the explosive GDP growth to 5%"? (clearly a lie but OK, the foreign markets keep downgrading Pakistan's economic standing). Why is there so much lying going on??
So right now, China doesn't care for leverage as it's got Pakistan already wrapped around it's fingers.......... interesting way to be "allies" with a nation. No wonder why Vietnam (an ex China ally) connecting with the US and the EU.
Is this for real? What nonsense? What country on this planet would want to "stop it's growth and GDP increase"? I've never heard such a thing and no nation on purpose stops it's growth. Reading the article, he's just lying. This is sad.
I have a question and it's a critical one. Pakistan now has good know how of aircraft industry, due to K-8 and JFT joint production. Why can't China outsource a few of parts manufacturing to Pakistan to create an industry? Imagine, even 8700 aircraft's seat production and some flooring and...
