    German University Excludes Chinese Students for Fear of Spying

    Chinese are not banned because of their ”race”. They are banned because it is believed that many Chinese students have a secret mission to spy for the Chinese government. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66599376 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66365641...

    The article is simply fake news… The last name is not the same. You screwed up by reposting it.

    France not to allow women to wear abayas in schools: Minister

    The use of dressing to show your religion intrudes on the freedom of others of that religion, since they are pushed to wear religious dressings and pays a price if they do not. Maybe the Arabs should not have started the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria then…

    France not to allow women to wear abayas in schools: Minister

    They are not enforcing a dress code. They are stopping religions from using group pressure to enforce religious clothing on kids.

    France not to allow women to wear abayas in schools: Minister

    The rule is (as I understand it), that You may not show Your religion by wearing clothes or accessories. A woman can wear trousers or a dress. Since they ban all religious dressing in school, it is not discrimination.

    The lady in the Youtube clip is not Zelenskyjs wife. His wife is born in 1978, and the lady in the clip was born 1984. Olena Kyiashko is not Olga Kiyashko. the family name is slightly different. https://www.filmmakers.eu/actors/olga-kiyashko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olena_Zelenska Seems...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    The whole reason for the new RFQ is that the Rafale choosen in the previous deal was way too expensive for 114 aircrafts. It would be very strange for India to choose the Rafale in the new procurement, unless the Rafale got a lot cheaper. Also, noone is going to provide guarantees on something...

    Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

    NATO never promised to not expand past East Germany. The German Unification agreement limited NATO presence in former East Germany. Not in other countries. The Founding Act of 1997 signed by NATO and Russia explicity stated that all sovereign countries can choose their security arrangements...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    The problem is that the wings are made by carbon fibre which for some reason make folding wings difficult.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    The only thing that makes sense is to remove at least one meter from each wing to make a 10.90 meter wide aircraft fit a 10 meter wide lift.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    The removable wingtips were mentioned on PDF a few years ago as something offered by Dassault. The folding wingtips were ruled out due to the carbonfibre based wings. Removing just the pylons will not be enough reduction in width as far as I can see.

    Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

    The Armed Forces of Ukraine are populating the frontline with mock-ups of military equipment to neutralize enemy lancets and high-precision shells. They are made at Ukrainian metallurgical plants. Externally, they are identical to real combat units. Factories have already made and given 250 such...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    The lift size of INS Vikrant is 10x14 meters. So the width is 10 meters. The width of the Rafale M is 10,90 meters. This I remember from discussions on PDF a couple of years ago. It is also claimed here 10.90 meters > 10.00 meters. That is the problem. So either the information about...

    Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

    Sweden has around 100 Gripen C/D. It is aquiring 60 Gripen E. I believe the plan is to keep 40-60 Gripen C/D so there will be surplus aircrafts available anyway. Any Gripen will be shipped from the Swedish Air Force inventory. The Swedish Air Force has received the first production Gripen E but...
