Change the title to reflect that Chinese CAPF teams won both first and second place.
Pretty impressive considering they can't use any familiar firearms since the contest mandates eveyone use NATO standard ammunition.
Probably not as this was at KASOTC, a 200 million dollar training complex...
The performance differences between a leading edge L Band radar and full size one are humongous. Its called specialization so that it does its job better than a plane that tries to do two things. 450 km detection vs 130 km detection is no contest.
China has a X band AESA radar in development...
As with many Chinese developments with the advent of newer generation equipment, older generation equipment is subsequently given export permission.
This is pretty much always true unless the type of system is not of national importance like say unguided missiles, or basic small arms.

Most militaries pair a sniper with a spotter as does China with the current doctrine.
Hopefully very soon the doctrine can be changed so that there will truly be lone snipers with the same capabilities as a sniper team.
Some new Info and a video of it in service.
For the first time, another item got its debut in the official Chinese media: The QBU-10/Type 10 12.7mm heavy anti-material sniper rifle. This weapon will be the new standard heavy sniper rifle in service with the PLA. It features superior accuracy...
For comparison the Tikhorimov L band AESA radar has detection of 1 m^2 targets at 130 km and 0.1 m^2 targets at 75 km.
The area of an entire radar cone is much larger than just the wing tips the Russian ones use.
I'm thinking this radar is designed to be in use in conjunction with other fighters operating an X band AESA. The size of an Flankers nose cone is actually larger than any other fighters including the F 22's. This allows a massive amount of elements capable of being placed in its cone compared...
Russia, China Sign 9 Deals, Including on Rabbits | World | RIA Novosti
China signs 9 new deals with Xi Jipings visit.
No Su 35 but we do get delicious rabbits for our pilots :)
MOSCOW, March 22 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and his Chinese counterpart Wang...
Would appreciate if for the sake of comparison we would use pics and specs of the newest version of the type 99, not the initial version from 2001.
baseline type 99
with ERA: 54 tons
type 99A
with new turret: 57 tons
type 99A2
all-new tank: 62 tons
and please do not use specs from...
The YJ 12 shown here looks to be a version made for the new VLS system seen on the 52D going by the square enclosure not needed for air launched versions.
An type 52D could potentially carry 64 of these mach 5 400 km range missiles.
Though it seems a larger dedicated version called the YJ 16...
Yeah I had a thread about it over a year ago.

Pretty sure Mig 29 challenged it. In fact he's challenged pretty much everything in the Airforce section. And Guess what hes not banned like you are.
manqiang just base your arguments on Gambits statements. Not all Vietnamese are like him.
If you've ever been on Sinodefence and actually looked at the threads you would realize that theres consistent argument between people. Its probably one of the best run forums out there. Try to compare to some Indian forums......
Your tone of disrespect if completely unwarranted and the only...
