I have had beast muted for ages because, very sorry for my language, he’s a retarded bot who loves to waste my time. And I suggest you all leave him alone too. He absolutely can’t stand any criticism of Chinese technology and will defend it like he gets paid for it (probably does too, and...

No we would not. Oplot is a bad joke and I am so glad PA stayed away from it. I would rather PA buy more Al-Khalids than buy Oplots. VT-4 is nearly a generation ahead of the Oplot. It’s not perfect in any way, but it’s much better than the Oplot. And this is coming from the same person who...

Never argue with an idiot, he will bring you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

Yes, that’s what I said too, the armor needed to stop a top attack munition would be beyond unrealistic, the only way to stop them is an active protection system.

The turret looks different to me too but could possibly also just be the angle and the orientation of the turret. The video is over a year old, but it could still possibly be something they were considering for Future AK or still are, but slim chance. as for cost, if I had to take a guess...

Type 15 is not an MBT. Nor does it have a 125MM Gun. There has been no open interest or data about China making new auto-loaders or bigger ammo so far. I’m certain they’re working on it, China surely has the money and expertise to make them, but tanks are not a high priority for China unlike...

It was not. VT-4 uses a standard T72 style and size auto-loader (of course it is modernized, but the same design, style and dimensions). All Chinese tanks use that style and size autoloader. China does not make any APFSDS longer than the maximum length limit of the T72 style autoloader. The two...

But the tweet says they’re for the Air Force. The existing models are with the army.

Having lived in both, they both suck. Arguably the worst major cities of both nations because of piss-poor planning, overpopulation and government negligence. Both need immense work, the only difference is that dhaka seems to be improving somewhat while Karachi is going backwards as nobody is...

I don’t think india is getting more Rafales anytime soon unless they set up a local production line, their indecision cost them greatly here as they didn’t place a follow up order after the initial 36, now there are half a dozen orders for the rafale from other countries, if india places another...

I’ve been following the Argentine political situation relating to the JF-17 pretty closely, it really does seem like a political decision at this point more than anything if they pick the fighter or not. What you’ve read about the engine deliveries is correct, there were in fact 200 engines...

Belgium only has a possible 7 in working condition. 3 out of the original 12 we’re lost and 2 were retired quite a while back.

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but I don’t think China is ahead of German parts and machine quality or European electronics quality just yet, especially on a large-scale industry level. I don’t mean defense tech, I meant technology in general, and industry standards back that up. Most...

1. I would say they definitely tried, wether it went through or not, I’m not sure, especially with the current situation of things. I will say this much that I’ve seen official documents pertaining to RD-93 deliveries directly from Russia myself, but again, wether this was for just discussion or...

I doubt HQ-16 or HQ-16A (they both have the same range) has more range than CAMM-ER. The bigger limitation for the 054A is it’s older aiming and guidance system. HQ-16B doesn’t exist in a naval version, the naval version of HQ-16 has a 40KM range. CAMM-ER is just generally much newer than the...

Hello. 1- to my knowledge, Pakistan has bought Engines two times for the JF-17, the first batch being through China, while the second batch of 200 engines partially through China and some directly through Russia. I may be mistaken here, but I have definitely seen some direct communication...

The much smaller Babur class is more capable at A2A than the 054A as well. The 054A is big not because it’s really well armed, but because it’s a simple and rather dated design (including the HQ-16A, which is big because it’s old), unlike the TF-2000 (which PN is not getting so far). For PLAN...

Range means more mobility options, even if the armor is moving towards the enemy, the further back the artillery is, the safer it is, the more terrain it can use and the farther it can retreat in case needed. Let’s put it like this, the armored forces have pushed into enemy territory and you...

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I follow your question or point this time. I think more range is always profitable in a shoot and scoot situation too because you can be further back from the enemy and have more engagement options. If you’re say 25 kilometers away then you have a higher chance of...

They very easily can, with modern SPs, that are able to fire twice as far, twice as fast and can instead fire two rounds to accomplish the same task, granted they buy the correct ammo. This time there is no real argument in the favor of an old system, the M110 is used because its there and...
