The author clearly does not what the Type 15 looks like ... all his pictures are of the Type 59 (D variant?). There have been many photos of the Type 15 in the public domain.

Those are not prototypes ... those are just full scale mockups (i.e. they are not operational and cannot fly).

The regional bomber? Like the famed JH-XX? Nobody is sure it is even in development ... all the bomber resources seems to have been diverted into the H-20.

I really don't know what China has to gain from reverse engineering the Su-57 ... its subsystems and overall shaping is inferior to that of the J-20. You can find numerous flaws in the Su-57 with regards to a VLO design. But if India acquires the Su-57 for whatever reason, I think it would be...

An Su-57 CATOBAR variant will be an extremely expensive and niche combat trainer ... SAC could easily make one for the J-35 that is not only a better trainer but also cheaper and more capable since the Su-57 is not designed for carrier ops.

Did Vietnam really think someone like Trump would not go after them especially after what he did with China/EU/Canada?

No way ... Russia has neither the resources or the capability to operate a CBG. If you look at Russia's surface fleet, it is barely scraping by. Just search up images of the Admiral Kuznetsov carrier. If China really wanted or needed the Su-57, they can definitely just go up to Russia and...

Please stop posting in all caps ... you are just trying to incite a flame war here.

I think you are talking about the launching of 003, which could very well happen next year. But that does not mean the 003 will be "complete" by then ... there is still fitting out and sea trials for a couple years before commissioning, which is the real definition of "complete."

Already seen earlier this year. I'm sorry but there is just no way the Tu-16 can perform anywhere near the range of tasks a H-20 can ... not to mention its need to have a bunch of fighter escorts and even then extremely poor survivability. The Tu-16/Tu-95 may look good pounding Syrian militants...

Lol India does know that success in the US does not mean success as a country right? Funny how Indians are so ashamed of their own slumhole country that they will brag about being successful in the US.

Well you haven't made any solid point. What would Turkey get out of a joint venture when they can directly sell or license the production to Pakistan for far more benefit? As much flak as India receives, it was actually Russia which was primarily responsible for the FGFA's failure ... India paid...

I don't see the benefit for Turkey in this joint venture. They would supply all the technology and the know how ... unless Pakistan can provide a huge amount of money like India did to Russia for the Su-57 project, I can't see how Turkey would desire this. And a joint venture does not...

Watch a video, browse the web, play games, or just go to sleep ... the options are endless. Having said this, Level 5 automation to where the human will not have to observe anything is still decades away.

How would Pakistan working with Turkey have rectified the T129 engine problem? Turkey has a far more advanced gas turbine and metallurgy base than Pakistan ... if it has troubles solving the engine hurdle, then Pakistan would definitely too.

I doubt the author considered the full extent of the massive ASW assets at the PLAN's disposal. Also, the Taiwan Strait is relatively narrow, which makes it much more dangerous for ROC subs to operate in. This is not even considering the state of Taiwanese submarine technology, which is very...

India is in far worse shape not only relative to China but also relative to the entire world today than it was back in 2002.

Yeah but this time they captured 1000 square kilometers of territory permanently. Meanwhile, India conducts a PR stunt to capture a couple of hills on their side while losing the most strategically valuable hills like Black Top and Helmet. Unfortunately India is basically an ant compared to the...

Nor should it. Exactly this type of reckless arms spending brought about the demise of the USSR. What is all the point of all these weapons when your people are suffering from a crappy Socialist economy?

Who cares if India needs Tibet? A military with absolutely no offensive capabilities and a nearly non-existent logistical supply network could never even make a meaningful advance into probably the world's greatest defensive obstacle, the Himalayan mountains. Just look at India's miserable...
