War might be fun(for combatants), and profitable (for arms sellers) - but in general its bad for humanity.
War happens when other means of expression for Inequity is not working anymore. So we need to remove Inequity to stop war. And this is how it can be done
Stealth armor sure is expensive. So it will be much more appropriate for future unmanned autonomous drones and robots which will be more compact and has less armor surface.
Yes, your BAE know what its doing, its investing in subsystems like stealth armor which later can be used in future autonomous drone war machines. Not in fantasy tanks. Its Poland who put money in stealth manned tanks which has no place in future. BAE just took old chassis which they made...
Anyway, only Germany can be called "advanced country who has been building tanks for almost a century".
Other "advanced countries" has old outdated tanks (like Challenger 2), or fantasy prototypes (like this PL-01)
Thats Poland "building tanks for almost a century"? Haha nice joke.
You at spot when you are producing pretty large quantities of practical tanks for real combat. Things like Poland is at spot where they make cardboard fantasy prototypes, which never will go to the mass production, cause when...
Building second An-225 in Ukraine to full working state and selling it to China. Then after this second finished An-225 will be delivered they "promised"(memorandum) to sign next deal for licensed production An-225 in China
Also China pre-paying for building An-178 (25 planes)
There is...
And its only memorandum for future deal of licensed production. Todays signed deal is only about selling one An-255(second in the world) that is going to be built in Ukraine.

From 2 shots. There is 2 tubes with protective charges. One moving out after first was detonated.
I see 1 problem with such system. Its centralized. Means 1 airburst round detonate over top of the tank and no more APS.
While Zaslon is decentralized, every protective module with 2 charges has...
And Russia itself also does not have any APS in production.
While Ukraine does. Zaslon APS. But im not sure how effective it is in real combat situation, there is no good quality test video to see if it will be effective. Maybe they dont want to show its secrets with detailed video, or its not...
PAK-FA is not stealth, and its project is frozen after oil prices droped and russia does not have any real income except oil/gas. Until oil prices will rise again PAK-FA project will be frozen till its become outdated. And PAK-DA exist only in wet russian dreams, its only just drawings on napkin.
Counter-battery radars is very useful. We are able to fire back on russian artillery with good accuracy before they change their position after they fired on us. Without US we would not have such systems, cause they are expensive, and we got it from US for free.
We have our own bombers to do...
It does not. China's politic on Russia is pretty agressive. They forced Russia to have a number of very unprofitable for Russia(and very profitable for China) deals. Russia is simply paying China big money to make look like they are friends.
Turkey in difficult position now, it trying to...
yes
It was not joining. It was annexation. Not a single civilized county in world recognized the so called "referendum to join russia" as legitimate.
No. Simply there is nothing to have good relations with. Russia will fell apart just like Soviet Union did. Russia is not unitary country, its...
Not a big deal. We(Ukraine) also doing this, and Pakistan also, (google "Nations with Satellite Technology"). Its 2016 today, every more-or-less developed country is sending satellites into space now. Thats does not mean, that every more-or-less developed country is "a technological hub"
China has already become what it was capable to become. Now process is started to go in reverse, as west world withdrawing their industry from China by creating fully automated factories(adidas, tesla) which does not need cheap human labor - the one China was providing for the west and by this...
