Really? China is already on level or better with US on UAV.

May I know where is US equivalent of China divine eagle?

Really ? American UAVs have been used in actual operations -- the kind that killed people. You may quibble if that constitutes combat or not, but the reality is that we have running our UAVs under real world situations, dealing with real time variables, our UAV operators are now the most experienced in the world. As far as hardware goes, we have things in the pipeline that you wish you have. You guys are good at posting pictures and specs and boasts about things your PLA have no experience in. But that is about the extent of it.

Well our PLA and the DPRK army have not fought a war in decades, totally lack of experience of modern warfare and yet after DPRK detonated her Atomic bomb the US was gonna bomb the nuclear facility but chickened out last minute after PLA was heading to North Korea. :disagree:

Then we can say the PLA lack of combat experience -- FOR DECADES -- is because of the PLA chickened out of many opportunities to gain actual combat experience.

China controls roughly 5.8 percent of Iraq's annual imports.[27]

China National Oil Company, partnered with China North Industries Corp., negotiated a 22-year-long deal for future oil exploration in the Al Ahdab field in southern Iraq.[28]

In recent years, the Chinese Aero-Technology Import-Export Company (CATIC) has been contracted to sell "meteorological satellite" and "surface observation" equipment to Iraq. The U.N. oil-for-food program approved this contract.[29]

CATIC also won approval from the U.N. in July 2000 to sell $2 million worth of fiber optic cables. This and similar contracts approved were disguised as telecommunications gear. These cables can be used for secure data and communications links between national command and control centers and long-range search radar, targeting radar, and missile-launch units, according to U.S. officials. In addition, China National Electric Wire & Cable and China National Technical Import Telecommunications Equipment Company are believed to have sold Iraq $6 million and $15.5 million worth of communications equipment and other unspecified supplies, respectively.[30]

According to a report from SIPRI, from 1981 to 2001, China was the second largest supplier of weapons and arms to Iraq, supplying over 18 percent of Iraq's weapons imports.

Where was China when her ally -- Iraq -- needed help against the evil US ? Plenty of opportunities for the PLA to gain combat experience in Desert Storm, was it not ? Actual US combat deaths was 147. Non-combat deaths were higher, of course. But how many actual US combat deaths could there be if the PLA actually entered the fight ?

Yes you keep repeating the PLA lacks real combat experience because we have not fought a war for such a long time. The PLA and the DPRK have no experience and we are light years behind compared to the mighty USA. So again what's stopping you guys from bombing DPRK 2 years ago?

Just admit it sourgrape, USA have guts to attack Afghanistan and Iraq but chickened on Georgia/Syria and DPRK why?
USA just don't want to **** with Russia and the China/DPRK combination despite these countries have not fought a real war for such a long time and we are way behind the highly advanced USA. Your Vietnam is a sh!thole and all you can do is piggybacking on the country which sprayed your homeland like same farmland invested with bugs.
