Actually, those local domestic routes are much more better suited with the already introduced ARJ700, which has a maximum commercial flight range of 3700km. The C919, with a maximum range of 5555km, would be enough to cover international flights such as the route between Karachi and Shanghai...

There are NO IL-78 in PLAAF service as of right now. There have been air-refueling drills between China & Russia conducted with the IL-78 of the Russian Airforce and Su-30MKK2 of the PLAAF though.

Mark my words, the PLAN carrier group's fleet replenishment ship is MUCH BIGGER than 20000 tons, almost doubling it.

If there is ANY component of the PLAN that is "blue water tested", it will be the SSNs and SSBNs. Having been in service since the 70s, PLAN's Nuclear Submarines constituted the very essence of the "second strike capability" against the US. Having just recently acquired JL-2 with enough range to...

definitely, as suggested in this weapon layout diagram here, swap the second outer pylon for a Pl-12 each instead of a PL-8, and the JH-8 would be carrying a sizable complement of 2 Pl-12 BVR missile+2 Pl-5E WVR missile for aerial self-defense while carrying out a typical surface strike package...

JH-7A, even the newly released JH-7B with improved avionics is still intended as a fighter-bomber, not to be confused with a air-superiority fighter such as the J-10B or J-11B. Sure the JH-7A/B could be of match against the Tejas especially in BVR combat with its superior radar and load capacity...

With tail tugged between tis hind legs, like the others before him, he refuse to accept the truth... Seriously, I really hoped some respectable Indian member like yourself would have shed some meaningful light on this, not just come into a post about PN vessels and troll

Lol, i ain't the one confused. This comment of yours just further emphasized your lack of knowledge. First, it's not the "two derivatives of the RIM 174", but the "two derivatives of Aegis combat system" since RIM 174 refers to SM-6 (based on SM-2), that is intended for all non-ABM role of...

oh I don't think the 22nd KILLER missile vessel squadron of the IN would be too pleased to hear their names being forgotten. Does the Abhay class and the Veer class mean any thing to you? Or maybe you should be less ignorant 'bout your own navy before pointing fingers. Funny how the same thing...

I am sorry if I misunderstood you, but it seems that you are suggesting that Barak 8, a missile that could supposedly reach out to 70km at Mach 2, is as good as Aegis systems, based on the "SM-2 platform"(mind you, that is a missile with range of 170km at mach 3.5). That is MUCH less than the...

Any warship of a potent navy is never about "fighting on its own". Naval warfare is always about fighting within a system, a system of varies sensor inputs. The C802 launched from Azmat could utilize data from PN P-3 Orions, or Z-9s for mid-course correction while it cruises to terminal guidance...

2 other photos showing the "wavy" pattern on the bottom of PLAAF AWACS (KJ-2000+KJ-200 in these 2 photos)

no, pretty sure this isn't a PSed picture, since the person who released this photo is a well-known and well-credited photographer on various Chinese military forums (北风之神). Plus, the wavy pattern on the bottom of the plane is also present in all the other PLAAF...

PLAAF's newly introduced AEW&C ZDK-03

Agreed. Either it has happened already, or it's not going to happen for a relatively long period of time.

it's about time:smokin: It would be really troublesome for the Chinese Space Agency not to have a deep space network while working on deep space probes

And you wonder why the Chinese members in this forum call you guys "frogs in a well":azn: Truthfully, I do hope that the Hu+Wen combination can continue for one more term. But then I guess we should give Mr. Xu a chance since he can't get any worse than Jiang:china:

I totally back the idea of China being Lanka's biggest ally! There are so much mutual interests involved in the Sino-Lanka relationship such as protecting shipping routes, defeating the tigers, development of commercial ports and import/export business!

Suddenly felt Soooo proud to be a Shanghainess/Chinese. As a Chinese living in Canada, I can truthfully say that though democracy works wonderfully in a post-industrial and less-populated country such as Canada; it will not work as expected in a densely populated and poorer nation like China...

It might be worth bragging if you have the TECHNIQUES and the TECHNOLOGIES needed to cheat in a exam. :azn: After all, of all the students that fails to get straight As, but still want straight As on a exam, only a few students got the balls and the brains to cheat on a exam:cheers: Some...
