IMO, it's not about being friendly or not but of logistics.

It will be some time for the S-500 to be made available for export. S-400 along with Su-35 and Su-57. No point to go to Europe. Remember what happened with the Russian order of Mistral?

I can only imagine what Western MSM will say if Turkey was serious in getting either the SU-57 or J-31. IMO, it would make sense if Turkey acquired the Su-57.

Your choice of who to blame is rather limited if you must focus on an individual. Sometimes the root cause can be attributed to circumstances outside of one's control and not on an individual. But, if I must choose an individual then I'd blame Alexander III of Russia. There shouldn't be any...

My guess is a second 075 hull.

This is nothing. Paint was exchanged in the last Cold War.

You should add a translation. AFAIK, the top image represents Admiral Kuznetsov, and the last two appears to represent the Liaoning and Shandong???; no idea on what carrier the second image (from the top) represent.

As others have stated, it all depends on the geopolitical situation. If the PLA-Navy plans to have three carriers per fleet (North, East and South) then a total of 10 isn't that far out. One carrier in maintenance, one for training and the other on station. The 10th carrier could be used to...

10 carriers by 2049 is doable. Already they have two. 30 years is more than enough time to build 8 carriers.

Both images are the same. Chinese Tiger's image includes the street labels (i.e. white lines). Is that official? I thought assembly would take place in Dry Dock #4. Right now a 055 and two other vessels are occupying it.

Any recent images of the Shanghai shipyard? I'm curious to see how far along they are with the new basin construction.

Who made this drawing? I don't see an exhaust port. Will carrier #3 be nuclear powered?

Really more of an update to this story from March 2019 but, nothing really has changed. China, Russia developing heavy-lift helicopter China and Russia to jointly develop heavy lift helicopters

The jury is still out on whether Trump have lost his marbles or not. IMO, his method of management is the source of the confusion, and what works in the corporate world doesn't always work in the political arena. I don't recall a time when a sitting US President have received so much vitriol...

Follow the money. It's all about the money.

It's only a matter of time that tariffs would be placed on foreign goods. No one should be surprised by this.

Nice dream but space will be further militarized.

Israeli regular forces wouldn't need to be in Afghanistan since US/NATO was doing the heavy lifting. All intelligence gathered would eventually fall into Israeli hands due to their close relationship with the Pentagon. I agree that there are no Israeli regular forces deployed in the area...

BAE is a British company, susceptible to US-led sanctions. If there is any component reliant on BAE cooperation, then Turkey is not only at the mercy of the British government, but the US government as well. There will be some kind of ToT agreement, but I don't expect everything will be...

This is not about Pakistan. It's about Iran. There was never a doubt on efforts to force Iran to fight on two fronts. I knew that would be the case when the US started the second Iraq war without finishing the job in Afghanistan. They're trying to weaken Iran's support for Syria and more...
