So just what is the possibility that it has been flying with the Shenyang WS-10G turbofan engine? I read that in particular is a TVC variant for the J-20.

You mean the European Union? :P

Something I do not know much about is the relationship between Pakistan and its neighbour Afghanistan. Why does it seem that Pakistan generally has very little sway with the policies of Afghanistan both historically and presently in spite of being much larger economically and more powerful...

That goal of eradicating poverty by 2020 sounds about right. Xi’s Chinese Dream is described as achieving the "Two 100's": The material goal of becoming a moderately well-off society by 2021, which is the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. The modernization goal of becoming a...

I would like to believe the main reasoning behind the policy of no first use of nuclear weapons for China and India was specifically created based on the dynamics between the four nations mentioned in the article. Another secondary reason that exists these days is with how both countries intend...

That gap of ten months without using drone strikes in the region is what surprised me. Perhaps the security at the border is simply better these days with fewer militants able to enter from Afghanistan.

Haha. That is a fantastic name - Gwadar Master Plan.

Reading of the improved trigger mechanism, I almost immediately remembered how poorly received the pull of the IWI Tavor was. It really is weird how most bullpup rifles do not have good triggers.

I found a nice map of the current borders. Everyday I am learning more and more about this critical region. Hopefully CPEC will be able to lift Gilgit-Baltistan out of their current situation of underdevelopment.

To be honest, China will most likely never become a major power in the Atlantic, at least not within this century and not to the scale of perhaps the United Kingdom. Even counting on potential cooperation with Namibia for a small foreign naval base there like the one we currently have in...

This product immediately reminded me of a particular firearm unveiled a few years ago, which seemed like science fiction technology in real life with its surprising capabilities.

I wonder just how much cooperation and sharing of technology exists between the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, since they are both subsidiaries of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China that each currently develops a fifth generation jet fighter.

Speaking of protecting CPEC, I wonder if Pakistan will ever allow China to use parts of Gwadar as some kind of military naval port. There could be stipulations that say a blockade on CPEC and Gwadar would be declaring war on China, which would deter India from effectively using their navy...

I think financial rewards for having more children might disproportionately increase the less wealthy rural population rather than the more wealthy urban population at first, but honestly that is fine as long as the situation in China does not reach the critical level of that in Japan where...

Well according to you then, this just means that Pakistan has already won half the real battle. They control half of Kashmir currently and not much will change that fact in the near future.

Supposedly, the first deliveries of the Sukhoi PAK FA to India will begin next year. This means that Pakistan will need a more advanced jet sooner rather than later. With the next prototype of the J-31 rumoured to perform in the Paris Air Show during June of this year, it seems that development...

My point was how the United States wants the countries in NATO to adopt the F-35 so that joint missions could be performed without anyone hindering one another. However, it seems that many European nations are slow to purchase one of the most advanced jets ever built. In the near future, the...

Just how much relation this has with the female assassins caught is still up in the air for now. Though, it was utterly ridiculous for them claiming that it was meant as some kind of prank.

Assistance from BAE with stealth technology could really help TAI develop the TFX in their partnership.

The population of Gwadar will expand into the millions in a decade or so. It definitely makes a lot of sense for a multitude of new jobs to be created in that city.
