C`mon , Google is your friend :-) For instance Tu-4 is rip off of B-29 , several were acquired when landed on Soviet soil , since non-aggression pact was observed by USSR with Japan , planes were taken for trials and one was dismantled. Klimov VK-1 jet engine from MiG-15 and later variations...

Russians are also copy masters , why would they be angry at Chinese for things they also did and do?

No Armatas on video (damn :mad:) , but Boomerangs can be seen for the first time at the end , and good all around look at Kurganets-25 and Koalition SPG and other stuff.

Enjoy!

Russia would not work behind Chinese backs , not for Taiwan as it needs PRC support.

"Don`t buy it" , it`s a phrase. I Don't Buy it

Su-35 take-off

RF focuses Navy on several things : Navy new role is not being built around need to counter USN but primarily defending Russian coast land and energy lanes, new ships classes with more firepower than contemporary ships of other countries within same class , deterrence is being redistributed to...

It is true that navy will have less ships on the other hand these ships will have more capabilities. But if that is collapse , what is the proper name for what happened to Royal Navy?! Vertical launch system 3S-14 being installed on "Grigorovich class" frigate

Tu-16 is out of service since 1993. Tu-95MS is eighties era production (last produced 1992) , Tu-95s in active service are in their "teen" age.

UVZ has capacity to produce over 1000 T-72, T-90 if necessary. However i also think 500 Armata`s per year is unlikely.

Probably they would be capable , but they didn`t make anything in that direction. Only US, Russia and Germany so far showed capability with tech demonstrators.. I`m talking about MBT category. USA , TTB based on M1 Abrams Germany NGP-EGS (it has turret weight simulator not actual turret)...

Only three countries proved capable to make such platforms , Russia-US-Germany for now. No one denies US is capable to produce the same and it has. Difference is Russia is first to make it beyond tech demonstrator to whole new level by actually mass producing it for armed forces.

Yak-130 delivers FAB

It has nothing to do with Indo-Russian relations , as i`ve proved on 1st page , Antonov is quite capable to produce new An-148 for North Korea which means they still get their Russian parts. Last batch of IAF An-32s were probably been used by Ukrainian AF because they lack their own transport...

It`s first tank designed to be mass produced with unmanned turret rather than being just a demonstrator for starters.

Don`t buy it.

Cameron was criticized for not being with Merkel and Hollande in Minsk talks which makes outsiders to view UK as declining power , that is why he and Hammond talk hard with Russia (but keep City open for Russia business :D ) From military POV , new Kh-101/102 cruise missiles makes this show of...

Thought that myself , or they could have used it for cannibalization purposes , who knows. It doesn`t make it right in all cases. Contract is a contract.

Right , good luck to that.
