AWACS is the key of air fight...
Also do you know if India air force has any BVR capacity?
What is their long-range air to air missile? equipped by Su 30?
F16 is the main fighter of Pakistan used to fight India air force,
while JF17 is a low end multi-function fighter.
JF17 is not so good as F16 in air combat.
Yet it can be made in Pakistan and equip with multip-function weapons.
It is cheap and does not worry about replacement and supply...
the article is about ballistic missile..
How ever talking about tactical missiles like Bromos, China is not fear about that too.
China study ultrasonic missile for long time.
There was some types of ultrasonic missiles but now not used at all.
We know the weak point of this missile well..
Brahmos is just something to scare small countries..
If facing countries like US, China, Japan with many AGEIS ships, Brahmos will be much less efficient.
And you don`t even have a chance to fire Brahmos. That will be most possible condition..
Brahmos is not a new concept..
The ultrasonic missile was an good idea in the past.
But when more and more AGEIS warships and heat tracing missile come into reality, the big size and super hot Brahmos can hardly survive..
This kind of philosophy does not work...
Most colonized countries will not thank the invader, even they do develop much better after being invaded...
What you built is the country, while it is the people that hate the invader.
How could Mao does not support VN to unify the south?
Only problems is how much resource VN need from China to fight the French...
China surely cannot give all its resource to VN, just for its unite. We have our own issues..
For VN, no matter you separate or not, not much influence on China...
Too long to read
You see Chinese nowadays no longer hate that much on Japan
Because China is powerful enough to treat things in a normal way.
No need to use hate as an excuse.
While Korea will be still much weaker than Japan for quite long time.
It is national competition, history and other...
This kind of facility will go to where gas&oil lies..
Usually it is big enough to support itself for certain time.
Supplied by helicopter and other ships..
Only need a yard for maintenance..
As I said, Japan is the biggest competitor of Japan in the world and inside US ally syste,.
History problem is only an excuse.
So naturally hating Japan will not stop..
There are many guys in the south VN that consider themselves invaded and slaved by northern VN..
So that is why they want foreign power to free them from North VN
