yup. Modern jet engine manufacturing is the pinnacle of modern engineering.
Even the established manufacturers face issues when trying to optimize new engines , like the PW engine gearbox issue in the Airbus 320 neo. 100s of incidents in the plane.

You have your set viewpoint which I won't try to change. Though you have been very vague in your comments, without specifics.
A specific like Europe does not use global NCAP but Euro NCAP , which has more stringent norms than global.
Pl update your knowledge then we can have a more productive...
Your assumption that economic competition equals military or strategic animosity is wrong.
USA , Europe and Japan were in deep economic competition and are in deep competition even now.

But after this virus which has shutdown the whole world for now 2 years, I believe anything is possible now.
This can escalate very quickly from just forum discussions to a serious...
frankly most Indians don't even understand the Indian obsession in Pakistan.
Modi is a convenient scapegoat now but he came into power in 2016 , the Congress was in power for most of the other 75 years. All our conflicts and bad blood were under the liberal Congress rule.
Pragmatically China...
because in a 1.3 b population, shit happens and Indians by and large know its normally political.

Telling that after 75 years of Indian "occupation " no Bhutanese is complaining.
Because Indians can't just walk into Bhutan.
Easier to go to Nepal than Bhutan.
A Bhutanese girl was in Pakistan recently on YouTube.
A very good discussion.
Only thing I would add is that extreme positions are not needed.
Pakistan doesn't have to hate the west to prove its loyalty to the Chinese.
Even the Chinese understand the attraction the west ,with its standard of living has for any developing country.
The Pakistan...

I have to strenuously disagree with your assertions.
India has always been the biggest proponent of peace in the world.
Kashmiris are with India and their is no referendum to prove otherwise.
I am sure the Chinese will...
talk is cheap my Chinese friend.
India is still occupying a lot of land claimed by the Chinese. Are you waiting for some special year of the .... to get it vacated . Just another net warrior.
