I don't see it happening to be honest, unless there is a significant change on the Taiwan front or something bigger happens with China's involvement in the Ukraine war, Italy is taking in quite a lot of investments from the belt and road initiative, from the Port investments to other matters...

hmm... well this is interesting. Lets see if it actually happens. Will be a coup if the French really pull it off, I don't see it happening though.

And yet none of those things are as complicated as manufacturing electrooptical seekers for air defense missiles. Or radar systems. making dumb rockets is easy and dirt cheap to build. paying formerly trained Afghan National Army pilots trained by the US to fly the very same helicopters is easy...

Not by tribal illiterates. The most they can acquire is blackmarket MANPADS and anti aircraft guns, none of which really are that significant against higher flying aircraft like drones like the Akinci which have service ceilings on 45,000 ft.

Oh no, the CIA most definitely does espionage, but likely more so to learn the ins and out and behavior and weaknesses of the plane, so as to be able to neutralize it in a conflict, but its a bit different from doing it to copy it, I doubt Lockheed or Pratt and Whitney need to do it to copy...

I knew that the landing gear would retract eventually, but it feels surreal. lol, now it looks less like a science project and more and more like ok this thing will eventually fly and be in operational use. lol

Why would the US need to do espionage on the Chinese jet? to learn how to make inferior engines? lol

While I wouldn't say its a copy(people who say this are dumb and don't understand the concept of convergent design, there is really not too much when you plug in parameters into a supercomputer to figure out optimal RCS and other matters, its why all 5th gen fighter jets look very similar, with...

This is complete delusion/copium. China has far exceeded Russia in defense capabilities, case in point the J-20 far exceeds any Russian aircraft, China is moving towards mass production of the WS-15 while we still see no update on the izdeliye 30, not to mention the amount of warships that China...

Warcrimes are not something unique to Russia or to any country. Warcrime happen in every war, and some warcrimes involve decapitation. Its stupid but the people doing these warcrimes aren't the most intelligent bunch.

Too Late I'm already calling it the Y-20B. :p:

Didn't you just recently post about the WS-20 on the Y-20B? seems like spam to repost the same story.

Joint production move for T625 GÖKBEY from Malaysia As reported by OANA News, Malaysia will jointly manufacture the T625 GÖKBEY utility helicopter with Turkey in the “Aviation Valley” (NSAV) to be opened in Negeri Sembilan state in order to develop the aviation industry. Mohamad Rafie Ab...

Don't want to get on bad terms with your strategic asset, by pissing him off and getting into an argument, but you seem to have no problem with "pointless" discussion with other users here. I see you boo boo. You ain't slick. :p:

Give Rupert Murdoch and the Tory parasites that own the Press/Media enough time, Daily Mail, Sky, etc. and you will see how far they can delude people. I'm in the US, and the amount of damage that Fox News and the right wing propaganda machine has done is immeasurable, FFS these people stormed...

Economic Hardtimes are the best time for these sorts of Politics, thats been the textbook incubator for every one of these movements in history. Its when the people are hurting and upset, thats when you point out a marginalized group and shout that they are the ones responsible for your misery...

Yeah I know that, right now they are fked if the polling holds up, but they aren't going to call an election till 2025 or until they do better in the polls, and in that time they will ratchet up the bigotry like they did with the Brexit campaign to try to rile up people to get votes, don't...

Sunak won't dissolve Parliament for the very same reason, the Tories are doing poorly in the polls since the Boris Johnson, Liz Truss fiasco. If I'm not mistaken a Gen Election is not legally required until 2025. Wikipedia says No later than 28 January 2025. I suspect they will use all that...

It won't work, she will be rewarded by the Tory Party, Pa ki Bashing is how they get votes and to show how "tough" they are, and make a name for themselves in the Tory Party. If anything the Pa ki Bashing will be used to stir up support for the tories from the EDL people and the RSS types.
