a solved issue.

the story is a non-starter. the very fact that they said he works for AVIC and was a engineer on the DF-17. AVIC does not make the DF-17 period. so its impossible for him to be a AVIC engineer working on the DF-17. we don't have to care about cricket and how many people like it in china...

its not that a defection is impossible. the stupid part which can only come from a completely incompetent propaganda department, like those in india and only believed by the dumb is: AVIC doesn't make DF-17. this so called scientist could not have been working on the DF-17 if he did work for...

so a chinese DF-17 hypersonic scientist defected from AVIC, a company that doesn't make the Df-17. no wonder hes mad. he asked for the promotion from the wrong company. sounds about right for indian fake news. this is about as correct as the headline: "coca-cola sugar engineer who made...

lmao. whatever drugs hes on, and hes clearly on a lot, i want some.

im still not seeing it. even at like 7% a year growth, and constant % of gdp spent on the military, in 2030 pakistan can expect a doubling of navy funds. lets completely ignore inflation. is that extra money better spent on 3 055? i don't think so. the 055 comes with range, which i don't see...

how is a smaller radar set going to have the same number of TRM as a larger set? and how it is going to be powered by a smaller engine if it did? not like they're from different countries or at different tech levels.

055 is a billion usd a piece... internal PLA prices. then there is operation and maintenance costs... there is no way pakistan is gonna be able to afford that anytime soon, unless you wanted literally nothing but 3, 055 in the navy(therefore making them too scarce to be used resulting in harbor...

theres a long list of reasons, but labor price is only a small part of the top reasons. after all china is like mid-70s or so out of ~200 countries and territories in terms of GDP per capita. otherwise the west really would all go to india instead of just empty talk year after year.

chips/pcb defused in taiwan, assembled in china. notice how they only say "designed in california".

Hubris much? in peacetime? of course no one is going to attack a US carrier group. and those rouge actors(terrorist for example) have no ability to even if they wanted. but this statement is pretty much true for naval vassals of any major power. even minor powers can be relative confident of...

*sophisticated ai* these need to be able to act and fight in intense EW environments and not accidentally fire at their own allies, potentially make life or death decisions. not some if-else ai i can throw together in c++ in 20 minutes.

india supa powa 2008 2012 2020 2030!!!!! for sure this time.

i think in the case of wingman drones, it would not communicate via satellite, instead it would communicate with the manned command aircraft. we know that 5th gen stealth aircraft all have LPI radars(an area china could indeed help with). its just a matter of using that to communicate...

and you indians continue your time honored traditions of starting a fight then getting pimp slapped then running away to claim the other side started it first. just like 2020 and 1962. in 1962, you literally invaded china by going beyond the disputed areas. go google Dhola Post. then your...

in 62' india literally invaded china with its forward policy. by that i mean they went beyond disputed areas that they themselves acknowledge is chinese. then they followed it up by completely ignoring chinese protests and warnings, then the war happened. india deliberately provoked a war...

they're not even that, they are just an annoyance, a sideshow in face of sino-american tensions. and they're mad about it. lol

in terms of a full collaboration that would result in a system or jets that all three countries will use, I find it extremely unlikely. China does not lack drone technology nor the money, and it already flies 5th gens for like 10 years now, and china has multiple stealth drones. anything...

yea, those ching kuo is basically equivalent to early F-16s, more potent is their new F-16V . point being, when people say they are weak, it's in comparison to the PRC, but compared to the average around the world they actually aren't all that weak.

i can see china as some kind of "consultant" and working through pakistan, but no way it would collaborate on a full project in the style of jf-17.
