That report is full of errors - no need to take any of it seriously. It's just poor, desperate journalism. For example: 1. The prices alone are ridiculous. 2. The author forgot to check his math because 2.5 x $100 mil is not $140 mil. 624 Flankers?! - Ridiculous. Laughable.

Why must these drills be held in the Yellow sea and not somewhere else, for example the Sea of Japan?

The first part of statement is already true - PLAN is already the most powerful navy in asia, no need to wait for another 20 years to achieve that status.

The other reason they haven't been invaded yet is that they have nukes which is the great equaliser for North Korea.

That website ranks institutions by popularity of their websites, not by the quality of courses they provide. Here's what it says on their own website: 4 International Colleges & Universities - About Us As I mentioned before, don't confuse popularity with quality.

Attack helicopters are specialised for strike and ground support. No heli in the world can counter even a 3rd gen fighter plane let alone a 5th gen.

In a different list (the QS rankings), IIT Bombay (India's highest ranking tech institute) comes in at 187, IIT Delhi just dropped outside the top200 coming in at 202. The list is summarised in the article: Global best campus ranking: IIT Bombay slips 24 places - General news

I'm sorry but the original report is misleading since it mentions popularity in one particular area - business/management. Popularity does not imply quality - I'm not saying that there isn't quality, but we should not mix these two things up since there could be any number of reasons why...

SY-400 and S-400 are different things.

Given the difficulty in making antimatter, if there was a antimatter detonation, the list of suspect countries would be extremely short.

The same types of nuclear reactions that power nuclear warheads are being used to generate power in nuclear power stations. It's just a question of scale and controlling the reaction so that it doesn't go out of control and blow everything up. I am sceptical though - I mean how much power...

Numbers alone don't tell the whole story. From the information in the diagram, it appears that North Korea has numerical advantage, but it's more than safe to assume that South Korea is better equipped with modern and more effective hardware.

Japan is not defenceless. Japan probably has one of the finest, well equipped and well trained navies in the world. 2 Indian navy destroyers and Corvettes aren't going to make any difference except boost Japan-Indian relations - and since they probably won't do any fighting it's a win-win...

Sorry, but he was not elected. It's simply a case of inheritance - Kim Jong-Un will inherit the leadership of North Korean from his father Kim Jong-Il

LOL. It's funny to look back in hindsight and read derogatory and contemptuous comments like these by so-called professional journalists just to see how wrong they were. What is apparent is that China is no longer buying any fighter planes from Russia but pressing ahead with development of...

I think you are overstating the effectiveness and combat record of AIM-120 in particular, and AMRAAMs in general. Most Air-to-Air kills to date have been done with short range, heat seekers - 270+ kills by AIM-9 compared to the 9 confirmed kills (as of 2008 - according to Wiki) by AIM-120...

That's a common misconception by many ignorant people that MMA has no rules. MMA has rules - even in the first UFC there were 3 basic rules, but since then the sport has been cleaned up with plenty of rules and regs to make it acceptable as a mainstream combat sport (and the fastest growing...

I doubt this is true because J-15 has already flown and is in testing. But if talks do somehow re-open it should be for the new Su-33 variant that Russia recently developed and is currently testing. I don't know the exact specs since it's just been developed but it's probably a carrier...

HAL Tejas bears striking similarity to Mirage.

France needs these deals more than China does, so it's understandable if human rights issues are swept under the carpet.
