The east/west development difference you have noted is a bit similar to the situation in China. As you noted nicely, it makes perfect sense to focus on the east initially where the majority of the population is. This will deliver the maximum economical benefits in a short period of time, which...
It is not surprising that European countries will come up with their own 5th gen jet fighter at some point. They have a lot of experience and technology in aviation sector. Also having a European lead fighter program is important to uphold an independent and self sufficient defense aviation...
I am not entirely sure that low consumption of dairy in East Asia and China in particular is due to lactose intolerance. I think it is more to do with the fact that we historically have been agricultural dominated economies and more productive in producing grains. Because of the limited supply...
Regarding your question on cooled thermal image sight, there are many sources that have mentioned cooled thermal image sight is in the standard VT4 configuration. Naturally I have not seen a VT4 myself (which makes me one of the fanboys :)) or have any knowledge as to whether it was not included...
CH5 looks so awesome. On a side note, CASC should probably name the new plane as CH4 xyz as opposed to CH5 as the customers who have recently purchased CH4 may feel their plane is outdated given the high speed of the product release.:yahoo:
I understand your point. It could be underpowered (I would say it is relative) but I am not sure it is a showstopper. If we look at another (reasonablely) successful 5th gen project in F35, it has been criticized for a underpowered single engine since the project started but it doesn’t go to the...
The European leaders finally realized that they are not part of “family” and this is the moment of “every man for himself”. The only way forward is to work against protectionism and promote free trade.
Not an aviation expert, but have kept a keen eyes on the aviation development. just want to point out that if we look at J31 in context, it is the 5th 5th gen fighter in the world in flying condition, which is a tremendous state for a aviation project. One can stay hesitant about its drawbacks...
China is just a developing country, with average income well below mid income countries. However, given I am an humanitarian I would support China to take some refugees if US can 6 refugees per 1 refugee to China considering the income gap.
In addition, I doubt any refugees would like to go to...
Looks like an awesome device from KSA and it produces quality images. There is so much to cooperate in field of space science. Keep up the good work!:yahoo:
My friend, this type of project cannot be judged solely for an economical point of view, particularly not on a standard alone basis.it has its strategic merit which is far beyond the economy. You are quite right there are other more appealing projects but they are complimenting not competing in...
Well said my friend. The work over the last 5 years was only to lay the foundation for developing a solid, manufacturing based economy. CPEC is not a short burst project but is a long game aiming for a long term, sustained economic growth. :-)
Pakistan has been supporting China in many ways over the most difficult period of last several decades. We like to return the favor in every possible way. CPEC, aiming to help industrialize Pakistan and bring living standard to a high level, is central piece of the delivery. :yahoo:
