Countries still adhering to binary genders should reject incoming foreigners holding X-gendered passport on the basis that there are no public facilities in the country to cater to their needs.. and so to prevent public disturbance and confusion between the local population and the non-binary...

To be fair, this China - Laos railway cannot yet be categorized as HSR or "Bullet train" as its operating speed is only 160 km/h.. by international standards HSR are trains with operating speeds of 200km/h and above.. 160km/h trains are categorized as HrSR (Higher Speed Rail) or Semi-HSR.. in...

Well regardless of the amount of technical contributions we have made or going to make for this project, at the end of the day, it's our financial contributions that will determine our continued participation in this project... so the below news should make you happy @Indos 😁 South Korea...

It won't get anywhere as bad as Syria.. it will get worse, but nothing as bad as Syria... For one, ASEAN is no GCC and BD is no Turkey or Iran.. you won't see any ASEAN state funding or arming the various factions there as the GCC did in Syria.. and neither would BD... India might try, but China...

Perhaps Ukraine & NATO can offer to recognize Crimea as part of Russia and lift all sanctions related to Crimean annexation in exchange for Russian tacit approval for Ukraine joining NATO..? I mean if the Crimean issue is not resolved yet, and Ukraine joins NATO, does this mean NATO will now...

Indonesia seeks more autonomy on CN235 production in offset talks for A400M 25 OCTOBER 2021 by Ridzwan Rahmat An Indonesian maritime patrol aircraft variant of the CN235 Indonesia is seeking greater autonomy from Airbus in the manufacturing process for the CN235 twin-turboprop aircraft...

Oh man.. These guys really have nerves of steel... After what happened to 402, I would've expected for 401 to be turned into a museum / monument ship like KRI Pasopati... But instead they are still working on making this sub operational again... I guess they really needed all available hulls to...

Impressive..! A large and heavy fighter like the Flanker flying in such close formation and matching speed with a slow, almost 60 years old Hercules, at night to do AAR... That takes a lot of flying skills and training..! and yet some US fanboys keeps on insisting that our Flankers are nothing...

If the N245 is really going to be 5m longer than the CN235, it will become even longer than the C295.. the C295 is only 3m longer than the CN235.. and its capacity should be much more than just 50 pax.. 70 pax is more likely..

Actually I think that if we decide to pick up the A330 MRTT, we should just try to get surplus civilian A330s and then have it converted to A330 MRTT if possible... the potential for offset won't be as big as getting new build MRTTs or A400M, but GMF should at least get the contract and...

I think that TNI AU really feels having A400M is more useful than having A330 MRTT... even though the A330 MRTT can be also converted into Transport / Cargo roles (and can carry a heavier load faster), it still requires dedicated loading / unloading facilities at the airport, while the A400M can...

4 - 5... that's rather low right...? less than 50% chance.. but seems plausible as there are already groups requesting to block such possible sales to Turkey : If the US really does refuse this Turkish request, then Turkish gov will become 'free' to pursue Russian jets and can still put the...

Well.. an A330 configured as ACJ is no joke as a VVIP plane.. I mean that's a high end VVIP modification there.. probably comparable to the Presidential BBJ plane in terms of luxury and comfort and other facilities... not something you would want to convert back and forth between transport /...

Ok.. more clarification from AH.. it seems that when funding was approved for the 2 aerial tankers, the term "MRTT" was used simply as a generic term for a plane that can be used for both tanker and transport and doesn't actually refer to the well known A330 MRTT.. so what we are actually going...

So it's now going to be 2xA400 + 1xA330 MRTT...? It's fine with me, but A400 only have drogue type AAR... is one MRTT enough to support the F-16 (and possibly F-15) fleet...?

How good are the chances this Turkish request will be granted by the US...? In a scale of 1 to 10, with 1-not granted and 10-granted, would it a be 6 or 7...? or much less...? thoughts..?
