A further segment added is not a huge feat is it? China, the country that developed this missile added a segment from the DF-11 to make the DF-11A, are you telling me they couldn't add another segment?
The M-18 is identical to the Shaheen 2, just compare the pictures yourself, and a lot...
Ghaznavi / Shaheen-II - Pakistan Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems
There is no proof that they're even made in Pakistan and a lot of credible sources cast doubts over this and say they're probably imported.
The leaders of India and China should stop compensating for their small packages and instead they should become allies. Both nations combined have over 700 million people living in slums, they need to cooperate to solve this situation, what is the new of this conflict in the 21st century?
You mean Turkey has to catch up right? You don't build anything by yourself! The Cobra is based on a Humvee, the T-129 (which isn't even working) built by Italy, your tank, built by south korea.
We build have been building our own helicopters for years we already have three that have been designed and built and are being produced, and we're designing more.
Turkey is not able to produce anything, it is constructing it by putting an engine on the fuselage and screwing it in place...
This is how building it in kit form works. (lets say for an American equipment)
The fuselage is developed in America.
The engine is developed in America
The avionics are developed in America
The tires are developed in America
They are shipped to Turkey and a Turkish worker puts the...
Because we had to start producing our own spare parts for them and we reached such a level of self sufficiency that we could reverse engineer them and now we have all of the infrastructure in place, all the knowledge and technology and the needed scientists and now we are building our own...
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Reverse engineering is like photocopying. :rofl: If it was that easy then even Turkey could do it (using foreign printers that is).
:rofl:
So we agree then, Turkey assembles Western built helicopter in kit form, Iran builds everything down the the screws, it clones and improves on western equipment and it has the capability of building their own.
No they're not. Turkey does it in kit form. Every single thing is built in Iran, the engines, the avionics everything. This means we have the trained engineers and the required infrastructure. Turkey on the other hand has trained engineers that put an engine on a fuselage.
By the way, Iran...
It is a diplomatic way of telling America " We don't believe they are building nuclear weapons and we want to have good relations with them so stick your sanctions up your backside".
