    Is Anyway to Counter the T-50 (PAK FA) jet fighters?

    Under license. Anyway, my point is Storm Force seems to be getting way ahead of himself. If you read his posts, you might get the impression that the only thing FGFA is going to inherit from PAK-FA is the airframe. For example, the following has been suggested: Engines - Kaveri...

    Is Anyway to Counter the T-50 (PAK FA) jet fighters?

    Why do everyone assume that you need a stealth fighter to counter another stealth fighter? The best way to counter stealth is with L-band radar and infrared: Stealth fighters were designed to specfically defeat X-band radar and their stealth becomes less effective with L-band. No...

    Monkey King Film

    Movies depict a lot of impossible/unlikely things as possible. And it's not really flying - more of a graceful leap.

    Is Anyway to Counter the T-50 (PAK FA) jet fighters?

    I already know about Indians investment into the joint venture. Tejas is an exception because it's a domestic fighter, HAL can make it use whatever weapons it likes. With something like MMRCA however, I doubt a foreign manufacturer such as McDonnell Douglas are going to modify their...

    Is Anyway to Counter the T-50 (PAK FA) jet fighters?

    You think Russia is behind India in composites? How do you know FGFA will use far more composites than PAK-FA when PAK-FA is still at prototype stage and FGFA doesn't even yet exist? Can MKI use western weapons? Why do you assume FGFA will be able to use western weapons? Will Russia hurt...

    Japan's former PM says China seeking 'lebensraum'

    Japan, an overcrowded island nation where up to 80% of the country is unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use accuses China (the 3rd largest country in the world by land area) of seeking lebesraum? I fail to see the logic behind this mans thinking, even more so when you...

    'China will be 2nd most powerful nation by 2050'

    You should know better than to believe everything they tell you in the press. If you actually bother to read about Tibets "native rulers" before the Chinese came and emancipated the serf population, you would understand why they RIGHTLY take pride in it. As for Tibetan culture, you do...

    CHINA TO BECOME WORLD'S LARGEST CHRISTIAN NATION BY MID-CENTURY

    Jesus might have travelled to India and Tibet during his formative years sometime between the age of 12 and 30. It is said that this is where he learnt values such as pacifism, non-violence, tolerance and understanding.

    Beijing debates why India looking eastwards

    Russia a part of India's string of pearls to encircle china? Are you serious? Russia and China are considered allies, they are huge trading partners, support and back each other up on UN/international issues, and have even fought in wars against Japanese and Americans.

    'China will be 2nd most powerful nation by 2050'

    I don't think China is currently the second most powerful country. The Chinese military may have the manpower, equipment and hardware and might be a formidable force in it's own back yard, but what about beyond? Can China project this power far from its shores and borders in the way that...

    United Kingdoms Dwindling Military

    19 ships are for destroyers and frigates. Britain had 2 aircraft carriers but 1 is getting scrapped with immediate effect. The one remaining carrier will be used for helicopters (as the harriers are getting scrapped) until it is replaced by a new carrier. Two new aircraft carrier will be...

    That's doubtful, seeing as how Labour left us with that huge deficit in the first place.

    Pak, China to launch joint communications satellite in 2011: Envoy

    Good news. The part about Russia and China jointly developing technologies for a Mars mission next year is also interesting.

    Anti-Japan protesters mistook traditional Chinese clothes for Kimono

    Why do you sound so suprised? All Muslims across the world learn Arabic because it's the language that the Quran is written and prayers are conducted in Arabic.

    Can nukes really destroy the world?

    When Japan was nuked, people were saying that Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be radioactive wastelands for thousands of years. Yet today, these cities are thriving.

    Chinese Flanker Family: J-11, J-16 ... Su-27SK/UBK, Su-30MKK

    Cool. It's still quite difficult to tell anything from the image other than the vertical stabilisers are not parallel. But at least it doesn't look like the usual speculative photoshops or fanboy drawings you normally post. Is there a link to the original video?

    USA may lift Chinese arms embargo

    That link is to a Russian site - the story is the opinion of the Russian journalist. USA don't need to pit Russians against China because Russian media is already doing that.
