I hereby declare that I will cease posting on China Defense Forum section until the level of stupidity dies down.

I forgot to add, it just some people. But they are also the loudest. They think all Islamic people are on some evil scheme to convert the entire world to their religion. It's absurd and absolutely ridiculous, they are just using the recent surge in terrorism to spread their propaganda. Most...

I do no have any calculations because there aren't any numbers to work with. Where did you get the specs of J-20? Calculations based on guess work is pointless. By to lift vertically I assume it means thrust to weight ratio = 1. You also said it must be done with just dry thrust? Why? TWR >= 1...

On the government level: Very good. On the civilian level: Used to be very good, now still good, but less as good. Due to Chinese islamic terrorist attacks and European refugee crisis which made some people unconsciously think the religion has something to do terrorism. This makes no sense but...

All predictions made from insufficient data are going to be inaccurate. We know nearly nothing about WS-15 or J-20's actual specs and aerodynamic properties. How can you make so much assumptions and claim you are right? It's like guessing a car's engine power by staring at its tail light...

My guesses for the reasons: Reputation: Chinese military has only been modernized recently, a lot of people probably knows Chinese equipments by type 59 tanks and J-7s. It will take a while for the VT-4 and FC-31 to replace that image. Not battle proven: China has been mostly peaceful since...

Radar, the radar on J-10B is a PESA. This is the public consensus, but if you go back a few pages there's this one particular person who does not agree. Also a piece of (EW?) equipment located on the tail that is on J-10B is not present on J-10C. Other than that and they are nearly indentical...

F-35: Unlikely due to geopolitical situations Superior overall performance Unmatched networking capabilities Might be unaffordable without military aid J-20: Unlikely due to technology sensitivity and PLAAF demand Superior air superiority performance & range Expensive No tech...

Good news but christ almighty that's an ugly paint scheme.

In R&D, throw enough money at a problem and the problem will go away. Just look at how many problems the F-35 program had, and now they are all gone.

I'm impressed by your patience, Henri K. I nearly abandoned this forum months ago when these fanboys started attacking "foreigners" for saying something that contradicts their claims. Of course I tried to change their minds by quoting some facts, and as expected it had absolutely no effect on...

I think he meant exactly that- the scheme.

Don't patronize me. Merely trying to point out the comparison you are making doesn't make much sense. And you should make sure your logic is correct before insulting others with words like "delusional" or "dim-witted". Of course, since when did logical thinkers resort to petty insults to argue...

So only more than twice the amount of illicit outflow compared to India while having an economy that is 5 times the size. I'd call that a success.

You are making a good point. But I wonder what qualifies as "harassment"? Can you give me a few examples? I want to believe you but there are too many people these days thinking everything is harassment. Staring for two seconds: Harassment "Good morning, beautiful": Harassment "Nice outfit"...

And here I thought it's impossible for poeple to reach 1000lbs. God was I wrong.

The only thing that went wrong is LM went over schedule and over budget after they knew they got the biggest plane deal in human history. Other than that there's no significant problems with it, everything went as intended, goals are reached, and since it indirectly doomed every other 5th gen...

'Murican: We'll build F-35 stealth fighters so we can be ahead of everyone else. *China builds stealth fighters *Russia builds stealth fighters 'Murican: Stealth is useless for us, but not for them. So we are still ahead of everyone else. China Stronk: J-20 does not use AL-31. Although all...

As I said they came for the same reason as others. Hoping for a better life. Not for a democratic government. No Taiwanese try to illegally enter China because: There's a legal way and it's easy. No one is stopping them. Lots of Taiwanese come to be mainland for jobs, business opportunities and...

No one is denying the advantages for living in the US. The point I'm arguing is the political factor's contribution for Chinese people to migrate to US is so little it's negligible. People came to the US for all the same reasons, "escaping from a dictatorial regime" if I dramatically put, is not...
