I don't think so, type 055 is very expensive, China may supplement 055 with 052 for quantity, but I'm sure China will certainly keep upgrading 052 though.

I think as usual indian media misunderstand the Chinese press release. I think it make sense if China want to reduce the number of PLA Army to below one million, not the total number of PLA, which I believe will probably at least above one million. The current number of 2.3 million soldiers...

is it the total number of PLA or just PLA Army? Sounds like extreme to bring the total number of PLA to under one million.

yes, that is why the debate is pretty much useless until there is photo to confirm. Frankly, I'm more interested on how many of this ship will be built.

well, strategically, even if Pakistan and other countries in South Asia have normal relationship with India, it is still good to hedge their security interest by aligning with China. After all, India is dominant power in South Asia, not to mention have ambition to be the big bro in South Asia...

what a beauty

Philippine army also use mavic in recent war in marawi city, one of them was shot down by the terrorist fighters.

There is no reason for China to build military base in Pakistan. Pakistan has solid military power that can protect itself, and can work with China to protect common interest of both nations. What China need is just a rest pit for its navy coming back from patrolling in Indian Ocean. I suspect...

I doubt China will build a military base in Pakistan, at best probably China will sign agreement to use Pakistan navy port for supply and rest stop for PLAN ships.

this isn't like astronaut program where you only need to send few pilots. PLANAF will need hundreds of pilots for future carriers, do you think PLAAF will be happy to train its top guns only to send them to join other branch? besides like gambit said, there are different needs too.

u can't expect PLAAF to keep sending its cream of the crops to PLANAF now can u?

somebody need to smack modi in the head so he can wake up to reality

I thought you called it accountable:partay: but it probably didn't matter to China. It will still benefit China, now those traitors wannabe will think twice before accepting money for selling out their country.

india is certainly one of the destinations of OBOR, the key here is one of many. Important as india is, China can wait until india come to its sense. There is certainly no need for China to give up anything so india can join. What will make india change its mind? when the rest of its neighbours...

sounds like China had known the network for a long time, and finally when the time was right, decided to wipe them all in one go. Make wonder what kind of intel the Chinese were feeding the US.

that is not the drone, somebody posted it already in the UAV section if I'm not mistaken

congrats China, what a beauty

woah, that is one sleek plane

yeah,the americans also claimed that chinese drones aren't as effective as the yanks' but look at the sales numbers:woot: so who cares what the snob think:bunny:

Pakistan should aim for more reasonable goal, like full ToT on Yuan class submarine. I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem for China. For SSN, China will not be able to sell it easily, there is international concern that need to be addressed. It is nuclear powered after all. Though if Pakistan...
