To become the 'Mentor' you have to be able to teach something. I can't really Russia learning too much (tech-wise) from China just yet.

But the stuff being manufactured by america in ww2 wasn't really state of the art though whereas an F-22 fighter is state of the art.

That last image just looks like the MiG 1.44 Flatpack

Going by your logic then, PAK-FA should be no match for F-22 since Russia is 30 years late with its 5th gen design! But then again, your logic is flawed.

I call B.S. If they were 'undetected', how would we even know that this happened? Work on refitting the Varyag is underway and 2 more indigenous carriers will be built by 2015.

LOL - you really think that all it takes to build a 5 gen fighter is a set of blue prints???!!! :hitwall:

Typhoon has canards, yet it is supposedly the stealthiest 4.5++ gen aircraft. So canards, if done correctly, might not have such a big impact on RCS.

Su-27/30/J11A induction was finished before J-10 was ready: Su-27 - 78 J-11A - 95 Su-30 MKK - 76 Su-30MKK2 - 24 Around 100 J-11B will be inducted, so there will be ~400 odd Flankers in total. But PLAAF has a requirement of ~300 J-10. It's not clear whether or not this number...

I don't know what's in J-15, but it is expected to be a J-11B variant rather than Su-33. Here are just some of the known external changes of J-11B compared to Su-27: Wide adoption of composite material to reduce the weight and increase the life of the composite part compared to the...

These two statements contradict each other. First you say "A 'reverse engineering' attempt goes beyond mere object reproduction" i.e. copying.....then you say "to 'reverse engineer' is to make a 'copy'". Reverse engineering, as you correctly pointed out in the first part, is about...

From the Merriam-Webster online dictionary: Nowhere in the definition do I see anything related to copying. Also, maybe you should re-read Gambits last post. I will mention the parts which you should pay attention to: To put it simply for Desiman, the reverse engineered part simply...

LOL - Which graph are you reading? It is blatantly clear that from the first chart that.... of the 21 countries surveyed, the only countries where the unfavourable view is prevailant is France, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, India and Japan. From the 3rd graph - Of these 6 countries...

But it's Ok for Turks to suppress Kurds though...:hitwall:

But how will N. Korea pay for them when they can't even feed themselves? Their most modern plane is the MiG-29, which they have only a handful of - and that is to protect the capital Pyongyang. The rest of the fleet is obsolete. They will have to buy hundreds of J-10 which they simply...

Going by your logic, your domestically produced MKI's are also copies! China has already paid license for the Flanker. 200 examples in fact, only which 95 have been assembled. Leaving over 100 examples to be built with whatever materials and fitted with whatever systems they wish. The...

Wrong! European countries wanted the arms embargo on China lifted. The only reason why it wasn't was because America threatened to stop all co-operation and technology sharing with European arms companies if they sell to China.

But keeping that beam of light focused on the target long enough to destroy it will be quite hard - especially if that target is pulling 9Gs.

^^Bird of Prey. Klingon Technology :yahoo:

People were saying China and Soviet Union might head for full scale war after sino-soviet split - But now relations are good and conflict is unlikely. So no reason why India and China can't be friends.

This thing has a speculated speed of mach 10. How much reaction time would that give the defender to destroy it after first detecting it. I read somewhere before (can't remember where) that with regular supersonic AShM, you have less than 30 seconds to intercept before it hits. I...
