You guys can keep calling it "junk", and we will buckle down to improve. I feel I get more matured after this, I wanna be a warrior.
Hi,
In american slang---junk has a different meaning---it can mean in relation to something else---.
A junk can be turned around and made into an acceptable functional piece.
Rome was not built in a day and neither was the high quality high grade modern day weapon.
For an american weapon---to understand the quality behind the product---you need to look back into the history of the united states and its geography---.
A man went into the wilderness and only thing protecting him was his weapon---it had to fire and fire correctly every time that he needed it to and sometimes over vast distances---.
And as the enterprises were personal and non governmental---the person whose name was stamped on the weapon---made sure it met the quality standard.
OTOH---in china---the factory was owned by the govt---which just needed a high production rate and bare minimum quality control---.
So---if you look at it in that perspective---the chinese weapons systems have come a long ways from where they were some 20 years ago---.
I mean to say---that you have made a 60-70 years leap in just about 20 years---which in itself is a miracle---.
Your leading product---the J20 is over 100 times superior to your leading aircraft of some 20 years ago---well that would make you proud and make you feel powerful---.
But otoh---the current leading enemy aircraft is 150 times superior to your leading aircraft of 20 years ago.
The term superiority of a weapons system---it is always a relative term---it is always in relation to something existing in the arena---.
So---an item maybe a junk in a certain arena---but a game winner in another---.
