LOL if we take away unsubstantiated rumors from both sides then this thread will be emptied in seconds.
The Internet has become a digital manifestation of a drunken Irish bar.
This thread is quickly becoming a circlejerk of Chinese rumors + exaggeration, complete with nationalistic insults and bravado.
Those advocating for war should volunteer to charge at the front of the line.
DZYTC forfeited all of his/her credibility when he claimed that he saw the prototype of the J-35 fighter back in May or June of this year.
Now he's trying to salvage his reputation by spitting out whatever propaganda he has.
Remember when Iran unveiled the Qaher-313 and its defense minister claimed that it could give its adversaries a run for their money?

This mindset is exactly what makes nations lose wars despite technology and numbers being in their favor. 200+ Su-30MKI with air-launched BrahMos may be a smaller force compared to the entirety of the PLAAF but certainly not for the Chinese assets stationed near the Indian border.
IAF purchased the air-launched BrahMos for a reason. China may have the upper hand on paper but that's not a reason to be complacent in the face of the IAF. If I recall correctly, Indian airbases are at a lower sea level and hence could launch fighters with heavier weapons loads than their...
Not in military attire and winter headwear, that's for certain.
Stop trying to rationalize this photo when you yourself know that no sane person exercises in these clothes.
Don't be ridiculous; China can parrot its propaganda all it wants but both sides of the US political aisle see through that crap clearly and vividly.
To compare the Tiananmen massacre to Trump's response to violent riots is an insult to the brave freedom fighters who stared down Chinese...
Not to be confused with the man who wrote an essay supporting democracy in defiance of Chinese oppression, only to be jailed and killed by the systems he tried to dismantle. This guy here fights for the system that carried out the oppression.
