Ah, "a classified U.S. document released by WikiLeaks", we all knows how trust worthy those are.... But kudos for you to actually produce a link, I honestly didn't expect you can deliver.

You know when you make outlandish claims you are required to at least give a link right? The rest of the world does not enjoy fake news as much as the americans you see.

Also means that in a dog fight the JF can afford to lose more energy before it absolutely have to start replenishing and give away position. I wonder if max AoA is increased with blk3 with full fly by wire now

If considering an all out attack/invasion from India then frankly any fighter jets is kind of useless for BD. In that case the North Korean approach is more useful, to damage Indian economy to such an degree that the cost outweigh any possible benefit of an invasion. You need long range MLRS/...

Oh, so this is not first sat launch but first military sat launch? didn't know Iran had first launch back in 09... still this is another big achievement

Congrats and welcome to the space club!

Yes that is somewhat doable, high tariff for import item combine with tax cut for local production -> incentive for local production. However subsidy is still a better tool as it directly help your local industry.

It is very difficult to "force" other country to import, I mean how do you even go about implementing it? It makes more sense to subsidize your industry. Subsidizing policy is a god given right to all developing countries, East Asian countries all does it and have success from it. No one would...

The navy has to pick one anyway, be it a navalized J-20, FC-31 or a brand new design. My money is on FC-31 evolution. Anyway they must have already made the choice a while back, won't be too long until it is known to all.

My guess is if J-35 does exists, it would be a massive re-design of FC-31 with emphasis at reducing cross section area as much as humanly possible and improved area ruling. Part of the effort of reducing cross section would be to shrink the main missile bay (from 6 bvr reduced to 4, folded wing...

I'd be very very surprised if thats the case considering Su-30 has larger diameter radar and more power to supply to said radar. RCS matters too but I doubt the difference between thunder and mki is that big to offset the difference in radar, I could be wrong just need proof...

2 bvr is sufficient for blk2 but not blk 3, here's my reasoning: In bvr fight, if one has first look first shoot advantage then the more bvr missile the better because you can keep spamming missile at the other guy to force him on defensive, this is very cheesy yet effective. However if one...

I doubt Iran even has a choice. You might find it hard to believe but there were some US worshiper in China, they would say "it's not so bad to be a client state, look at Japan and Korea"... And I would tell them Japan and Korea were propped up as bulwark against communist bloc in east asia...

I don't know, maybe you are right. Maybe US will leave Iran and ME alone.... but personally I doubt it, there's the need to maintain petro-dollar, there's Israel interest and Saudi interest...etc. My biggest doubt is this: The american have this Monroe doctrine, the doctrine used to apply to...

Nukes alone are of course not enough, but without it the US can do whatever they please with impunity. All the effort you mentioned can be easily sabotaged by the US if they can act without consequence. If you pay attention to US media and public opinion you'll see that they are already...

No shit, of course Iran must obtain nukes asap, once they demonstrate credible nukes and delivery system they are then in a secured position. The next priority is to find trade partners to bypass US dollar based sanction, once this is done Iran is golden, free to develop economy. I'm glad Iran...

So you made it? Damn, ppl in Chinese forum are analyzing it as if it came out of paf.... good job I guess XD What is its weapon bay arrangement?

Well, WS-10 has taken a long time to mature but matured it did. It is seeing wide spread use now in not only J-11b and J-16, but also in newer J-10C and even J-20 and J-15. There's no published figure on MTBF, but if PLAAF is conducting high tempo training all year round with it then it cant be...

Don't get me wrong I love the J-10, just pointing out it's shortcoming in range. While F-16 is more efficient at subsonic cruise, J-10's delta wing is lower drag in transonic and supersonic speed; couple with the fact that J-10 has slightly higher TWR, J-10 will enjoy advantage against F-16 at...

F-16 has higher fuel faction then J-10. This is the only regret I have for the J-10, back in it's conception it was designed for front line air superiority and interception against Soviet threat, optimized for speed and maneuverability, not so much for range. Now whenever we want to use J-10 for...
