Its a great bird with maneuverability and range and thrust but it is let down by outdated avionics. Even China after buying 24 of it for testing, stop buying it.
It will be outmatched in BVRAAM duel by western counterpart. In dogfight, its huge profile is a big disadvantage despite its great...
Quite terrible that they need to redesign the whole plane and produced new prototype only after few years of the maiden flight of previous prototype. Especially, it has already go thru few years of testing only to realized some major structure problem. Plenty of years wasted.
But I guess, this...
It can be more expensive and time consuming than imagine. Mirage III airframe are not well know to be generous, therefore the selection can be limited. Plus, it belongs to very previous generation with a lot of modern avionic and system not designed for its airframe. Integration can be very...
Mirage III airframe are too old, not worth for the upgraded. Money and time will be wasted if such venture. It is better to devour more time and effort to produced more JF-17 to replace Mirage III.
Absolutely, it a project PAF has more say in the program according to their own need. Without JF-17, PAF modernization will be very slow. I can bet Q-5 even need to continue in service until more new aircraft available.
J-10 can never be able to replace most of PAF aircraft.
JF-17 fulfil the need of PAF and easier to mass equipped for PAF budget. It is still the correct decision for PAF to go for this project. I don't see how PAF shall never go for it.
Another point to take note is, J-10 is solely a PLAAF project. There is never any intention for any foreign...
I dont think Truck artillery will be too limited to just roads only. China has deploy them to mountain and LAC area. Track SPH will definitely has much superior off road capabilities. But wheel is not really that bad for off road.
I think for a country size like Turkey, its impossible to produced an advance fighter jet 100%. There are simply too much investment needed. Even for countries like UK and France of trillion economy, they barely just make it.
A domestic production of 70% - 80% are considered very good. Look at...
Are you sure? All this analyst are out of point and simply trolling. Lazy analysis with outdated data. I think some already point out many valids point regards to one of his topic regards to PLA invade Taiwan.
He claims to be a former professional soldiers and yet he naively believe PLA marine...
He is just a pay troll , carry balls for the western nations.
They are too many of these self bragging youtube channel like the TFglobal who engage in self fantasize bragging of their beloved countries.
India so called module is not space station but more like a lab module which can only sustain human presence for 17-20days.
True space station can have human presence for years or even decades as long as replenishment is available.
You like to pull out donkey years old stuff to prove your revelant in 2022? Thanks to US freedom of speech, media and their right. These new US generation will never obey your draft and will do whatever they can to escape it. Especially those dual citizenship, you can continue to live in your...
I don't think is that late. With experience of WS-10 turbofan plus advance of technology especially super computer which can realistically simulate many aspect. Time to put into service will be much shorter. 2024 is possible for this to enter service.
