There is a misconception among the public that size equals technological lead. This is not true in the case of Samsung, Intel, and TSMC. Samsung's sales for this year are $65.6 billion. Intel sales total $61 billion. TSMC sales are about $30 billion. Samsung is outspending Intel and TSMC...

China's TYW-1 UAV's sensor ball can "read a license plate 50km away." In June 2016, we learned China had upgraded the CH-4 UAV ElectroOptical (EO) sensor ball from analog to digital, which provided superior functionality. ALIT CH-4 UCAV remote kill via satellite link, testing distance is over...

That's great if the F-22 is no longer technically a "hangar queen" because it doesn't require 30 days for maintenance. Nevertheless, the F-22 stealth coating still requires a humidity and temperature control hangar for the reapplication of its stealth coating. Shaving a few days off the "hangar...

China's J-20 doesn't need F-35 temperature and humidity control hangar. The American F-22 and B-2 are known as "hangar queens," because they require specialized temperature and humidity-control hangars to protect their stealth coatings. The reapplication of a stealth coating is laborious and...

This is extremely interesting. A highway connection between China's Yellow Sea (near Beijing) and Western Europe. The question is whether semi-trailer truck transport can compete with ocean transport if we use automated semi-trailer trucks. We know China has been testing a prototype automated...

That is my point. These anti-China announcements are silly. If China was more like Germany (during World War I and World War II), most of China's neighbors would have been annexed by now. China is the world's second largest country by landmass. It is 27 times larger than today's Germany...

@Daniel808 In reply to your question on my profile page, India only produces two Agni V missiles per year that are capable of hitting China's coastal cities. These can be easily shot down with Chinese Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs). China had two successful exo-atmospheric intercepts of...

The concept of the Quadrilateral Coalition is illogical. Since its founding in 1949, China has not used its military to conquer neighboring lands. China has claimed the South China Sea for 2,000 years. The claims are stated in the historical archives of Chinese Dynasties. The US is disputing...

No. The US marine base in Australia is temporary and only on a rotating basis. It is also very small. For the Quadrilateral coalition to matter, what the countries desire the most has to occur. Australia wants F-22s, because it would put Australian air power on a par with Chinese J-20s...
