People need to understand that things like FOBS cannot be switched on and left on idle until it is used. These weapons orbit at an altitude of 150 kilometers, far too low for a sustained orbit unless they're frequently boosted by other spacecraft. So neither the US nor China would be able to...

A visit from him won't change public opinion. Peoples of the free world care about actions, not the CCP's fake charm offensive. The only thing that can change public opinion is a complete change of China's leadership.

Maybe the dictator is having health issues like his North Korean buddy KJU and authorities are clamping down any reporting of the manner. Perhaps nobody will ever know until something major happens.

It's a fair comparison of two fighter projects that are more or less of the same weight category and function. Don't let your emotions get in the way of fact and reality.

Please try to make at least a couple of consecutive posts without going off-topic.

Very interesting development. If this bird manages to get fifth-generation avionics, genuine radar-absorbent material, airframe redesigns to reduce its RCS, and a new suite of AAMs, it might potentially come close to matching the performance of the AMCA in the far future. Not a bad start for a...

More photos of the new Z-20 "Battlehawk" variant. Looks like it has a chin-mounted cannon. Some are saying it is a pitot tube but it looks too long to be one, plus pitot tubes aren't usually mounted on the chin.

It's an RAT - ram air turbine - used to generate emergency power from passing airflow should the plane lose both engines in flight.

It was fucking brutal!

If I had Jeff Bezo's income for every prediction of yours that has been correct, I'd have $0. Not personal, just an observation. Which would be in accordance with the current rumors.

A militant group that murders civilians and soldiers alike to further its theocratic-fascist state isn't a terrorist organization? That's like calling Chinese authorities "police" instead of murderous, corrupt, authoritarian thugs.

Another indication that China is an enemy of the free world and must be dealt with accordingly. On one hand China suppresses Uyghurs on the basis of fighting against terrorism but on the other openly supports a terrorist organization.

Static test frame has been transported to CFTE, so shouldn't be too long now.

According to "OneNinety" the photos were taken on July 6 of this year at roughly 4:00 pm local Chinese time. Here is the link to the original post. https://weibo.com/6095935299/Knw9ZdusQ

Let's not be snide. The photo is too grainy to make out anything other than a supposed J-20 airframe, much less an engine that China has been working on for over two decades without much success.

Too blurry to make out anything. WS-15 is like the PAF + J-10C saga - there's always talk of an "imminent" reveal that has turned out to be nothing but a fairy tale every single time.

With some work and continued importation of foreign designs, China might potentially match the capabilities of the Naval Tejas in the future: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/j-15-block-ii-unveiled-j-15b.715933
