You have been here long enough to know that Chinese military developments reports are first based on rumors/leaks and that pictures only follow thereafter. For something as sensitive as the WS-15, I doubt we will be getting any pics so I wouldn't hold my breath. However the WS-15 flight test...

Censorship?

Instead of helping others, India should first supply their soldiers in Kashmir and Ladakh in order to prevent them from freezing to death like a Napoleon in the Himalayas. https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/armyman-kuldeep-jadhav-succumbs-to-hypothermia.692112/

I wonder why they haven't placed it into operation yet ...

People are getting triggered on SDF as usual ... why are some people so sensitive and think everything coming out of PDF is inaccurate? :disagree: :rofl:

It makes no sense for the 003 not to be nuclear at this point ... that is, I would be extremely surprised if it wasn't at this stage.

I would read these two analyses to get a good idea of the RCS features of these two aircrafts. These are probably the most detailed open source RCS estimates we have, even if they are very old (which is all the more surprising). http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-2011-03.html...

Can’t Share Details of Missing Troops Along LAC: MoD It is sensitive information, says ministry in response to a query on casualties in this year’s skirmishes along the India-China border Ullekh NP | 28 Nov, 2020 A satellite image of Galwan Valley, May 22 (Photo: Reuters) The Ministry of...

I'm pretty sure the chief test pilot of the J-10 who knew the people who flew on the J-20 prototypes stated all the prototypes and initial batch were powered by Russian engines.

Not sure if Vietnam wants Indian nuclear tech :disagree: :enjoy...

Lol do the Indians really think their forces will become "elite" just by calling them "elite"? Before Galwan, India kept on saying how they had the most elite mountain forces in the entire world ... and they were slaughtered like cattle by a standard PLA unit.

Honestly the Su-57 gets extremely harsh responses from Western and Chinese critics alike. And a lot of it is justified. The latest WS-10 variant probably has most 145 kN. I really don't see the WS-10 expanding past anything beyond that due to design limitations and the fact that the WS-15 is...

http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-2011-03.html http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-2012-03.html#mozTocId128159 You can read up on more RCS tests of the Su-57 ... there are quite a few out there. This is the conclusion of Dr. Karlo Kopp, who performed the most in-depth/accurate RCS analysis at least...

After the WS-15 becomes operational, the WS-10 version will gradually cease in production. The fact is that the WS-15 is a generational leap over even the latest WS-10 variant. The slight range improvement and lower cost with the WS-10 is not nearly enough to offset the massive benefits offered...

I don't think it is as easy ... the Mossad has pretty notorious counter espionage surveillance. Doing this would likely be a failure and give Israel more openings for attacks in Iran.

The Chinese originally sold the TELs as timber trucks to North Korea. Indeed these TELs can serve as timber trucks, as China uses them for, but they were based on military TELs and as such their conversion from civilian to military usage is quite easy.

Su-57 RCS/IR Suppression is very poor ... honestly it shouldn't even be in the same tier as the F-35/J-20/F-22. It may have the best subsonic kinematics out of all three aircraft, but that hardly matters when you will be shot down before entering WVR.

Good luck India ... you'll need it :azn::disagree: https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2020/10/12/indias-nirbhay-cruise-missile-test-fails/ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/trial-of-howitzer-guns-stopped/articleshow/78243543.cms

Probably on the lower end ... 145 kN.

The best thing India can do is just to disband as a country. It is after all a completely artificial creation of the British Empire and has no reason to exist as a country.
