You are not serious, are you? This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Ok now I saw a few sane people with web background is trying to explain, then it is considered a cover up by the mob?

I think Prof. Ma is absolutely a talent and a teacher that can push Chinese Naval power to be the world leader some day. But as a system, we also need to improve the turbine (QC280), each individual weapon system (including carrier-based jets), and more importantly, training. USN always have the...

The video is a mixture of many "would be" scenarios. First you have to understand railgun projects are not led by Prof. Ma, not even the same research institute. What Ma was doing is the power distribution system that affects railgun. One could argue that Prof. Ma's work is also decisive in EM...

The US weaponry companies are private owned by shareholders, and for profit. The more money you can milk out of it the better. Chinese weaponry companies are government owned, and the profit margin is fixed. It is better to finish the current project, put it into production, then move on to...

The @cirr 3d model is probably based on this picture. But something is wrong with it. The center "tube" should not exist. The current flows from one rail to the armature then to the other rail. There is no metal tube in the center. Hopefully I am not making a fool of myself

You may fall victim of those English media reports. Those writers do not have basic STEM knowledge. Power = Energy output per second 1GW x 0.01 second consumes the same amount of energy as a 1MW generator charging for 10 seconds I did the calculation to drive a 32MJ railgun, assuming 90%...

Originally design is just too expensive. Minimal 5 billion USD, plus production cost. Easily a 7-8 billion project. Almost one full year of Pak defense budget.

PLAN needs both land-based and ship-based aircrafts. So it makes sense to have both jets sharing something for logistic reasons.

Once PLAAF orders FC-31, some people will complain they are made to the needs of PLAAF, not our AF. Buyers will buy, window shoppers will not. FC-31 positions itself as being the only 5th gen jet available to countries who can't buy F-35. Possibly FC-31 has better technology than F-35 base...

Since FC-31 is designed for export, it will take any offers I guess. Rumor says Saudi is interested but highly unlikely. If Pakistan wants this jet it is best to join soon. I have a feeling Iran would take a close look at it after the boycott is over. There is a remote chance PLAN will purchase...

Here is a video about the J-9 tradition, including the history why CAC split from SAC, because Song was mistreated and he left SAC to set up CAC and worked on new models of J7 and continued to finish J9 design. J-7 eventually became super-7 which then evolved into JF-17. J-9 overall...

It is public domain knowledge. J-9 is the original design, the same research resulted in J-10, as well as J-20. There were generations of scientists and their papers to show this. J-9 was CAC's baby, the reason why they were split from Shenyang

J-20 is basically a modernized j-9

It won't work unless India stops buying Russian weapons. However, when it works we will see Su57, F35(India) and J20 having meetings near Kashmir?

Looks like ~100MHz array? Will this overlap with civilian bandwidth? Maybe the best solution will be a huge radio telescope array on the moon?

NOOOOOOOO so many indians spent years defending FGFA on various forums.

That will not happen soon. Countries like US rely on military and conflicts. If the world is peaceful their importance will be lowered.

Vietnam has no choice but to comply with China's leadership, I also think the current VN government realized that too. For China, the goal is to develop economy and maintain regional stability. If war against VN is needed it will happen, but I actually don't think it will ever come down to...

Lin was chopped because his internal trading case, which is considered as corruption.

It is not the number of jets that is important. Heavier jets can do more with less sorte. Larger jets are preferred to reduce sorte which is proportional to the risk/cost, especially when EMALS is in place. I don't consider J-31 having a future in PLAN
