    Boeing’s China orders ‘likely to be affected’ with home-grown C919 passenger jet set for certification, C919 likely to displace Airbus and Boeing sale

    All those parts are required to be at least sourced from foreign suppliers running businesses locally in China or having joint venture with Chinese partners, a good example is avionics from Honeywell, etc. China can make Y-20 and therefore capability is not a problem to them. China's local...

    Thai Navy (RTN) could accept Chinese-made engines for the S26T Yuan-class submarine

    China is using MTU-396's indigenous variants on their 039 submarines. They know everything about the engine and have their own tech upgrades. The only problem is that they are not allowed to export due to IP restriction.

    Thai Navy (RTN) could accept Chinese-made engines for the S26T Yuan-class submarine

    As reported, China bought the IP of German diesel engine MTU-396 quite a few years ago with an end user agreement that the China made MTU-396 variants can only be used in China. China then developed their own variant for submarine use, AKA conventional submarine 039 series. Therefore, when they...

    Do Chinese support a military takeover of Taiwan?| Trending in China

    Younger people with stronger than average political awareness all support taking Taiwan by force. After witnessing the mess in Hong Kong, they have reached sort of an agreement that a military solution on Taiwan will incur higher once-off cost, but also much less ongoing cost in the context...

    Z-10 & Z-19 Combat Helicopter News & Discussion

    If you fly the helicopter so low, millimeter band radars facing mostly downward won't trigger any detector in far distance. You only need to worry about the MANPADS launchers probably only tens of meters below, while the rotor noise already reveals your location in such a close distance.

    Z-20 Utility Helicopter News & Discussions

    Russian's biggest problem is that they don't clear the fields before transporting infantries into the drop-off area. The PLA seems to adopt a different doctrine that they won't even risk their attack helicopters and just let UAVs take the most dangerous jobs. When on this different doctrine...

    Z-20 Utility Helicopter News & Discussions

    While they do reportedly practise that way and keep mounting better protective sensors and armour to helicopters, their recent focus is on using missiles with range over 25km to attack remote targets with UAV flying higher altitudes to provide target seeking. They have a different doctrine...

    China Acquiring New Weapons Five Times Faster Than U.S. Warns Top Official

    America is losing arms race with China since it still intends to maintain its global hegemony even though it is clearly declining, and has been wasting enormous amount of resources on that.

    India’s expectations from the QUAD Summit

    It is just financially infeasible for the US to help India become an alternative to China in global market. India itself is not qualified to be China's competitor due to its premodern social structure of eternity.

    ATTACK OF THE DRONES : Inside China’s world-first AI drone mothership that could launch secret ‘bot swarm’ attacks on US Navy

    Chinese Missiles News & Discussions

    Got a friend sending me probably the first publicly available DF-27 photo. It shows a head cover highly likely a housing shaped for a HGV and a 6 axle TEL which shares the same design as that of DF-26. As such it is unavoidable to think DF-27 is derived from DF-26 with an extended range on its...

    CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

    After decades of actual operations of modern carriers by USN, it becomes pretty obvious that nuclear powered carriers are having poorer battle readiness and higher maintenance costs compared to ones with conventional power, despite their unlimited sailing distances. Remember nuclear powered...
