Hi,
It is not directed at you---.
About 15 years ago on this forum I wrote what Dale brown stated in wrote in one of his books---about the upgraded version of the B52---.
See---the americans have a different perspective about weapons than the rest of the world when it comes to designing and manufacturing them.
The secrecy and deviousness of the american mind shows in their major weapons system---.
You will never know when the americans will deceive you---.
You will never know the true capability of the american weapons till it suddenly dawns upon you how much in error you were by down playing the american tech.
Some say that elecytronic sabotage happened on the american frigates---. Ok if it did---. Next time the US frigates would not get close to any ship during combat---. If they can destroy from a distance---then they will not come close---.
The American Military might is like the BLACK PLAGUE and you are the one without any immunity or medicine---.
This monster will destroy you---decimate you---annihilate you without taking a burp---.
2 1/2 million killed in AFG, over 3 million now dead in Iraq---over 2 million dead in Syria---around 1 million dead in Libya---. Close to 8-10 million dead people during the US military's occupation and you are not scared of the monster---?

It mainly depends of the deepth of the wreck. For USN but after all for China. Not the same problem to operate in -500 meters than in -5000 meters.
Do china have the same salvage equipments than USN ?
And USN has a big asset : they perfectly know where the wreck is. Probably not China. And it's not the same to found a sub or destroyer wreck, with full amont of steel, than a figher one, with frame mainly made of composite and few magnetic steel.

The Chinese probably had multiple surface warships trailing the carrier, so when it happened they were instantly aware of it and the exact location the plane went into the sea. Which is also probably why the news was released to the public.
The PLAN has ships that can salvage up to 1200 ton objects up to to 15,000 feet deep.
Chinese Navy to Help with Recovery of Indonesian Sub Wreck - USNI News
KUALA LUMPUR – China has dispatched three ships to Indonesia to assist in the salvaging of the Indonesian attack submarine KRI Nanggala (402). Two ships – the People’s Liberation Army Navy Ocean Tug Nantuo-195 and PLAN Ocean Salvage and Rescue Ship Yongxing Dao-863 – arrived on scene May 3 and...

According to this article the SCS is a basin 4000 meters deep (13,123 feet)
The submarines and rivalries underneath the South China Sea
Beijing's South China Sea island-building does not just boost its control over the sea, argues the IISS' Alexander Neill, it's central to China's undersea ambitions too.

But other parts of the SCS can be over 18,000 feet deep, so it really depends on where the plane went down.
This is why the sooner the USN recovers the plane the better

Doesn't look like a cable rupture. And the coms, while unintelligeble indicate they saw the crash comming, ruling out the cable rupture excuse. Assuming its real.
Another sourgrape comment.
And we are going to be the greatest contributed in aviation and science.
The world first runaway take off to space and return and landed as a normal plane. A feat which US couldn't even achieved. The US space shuttle is based off into space by a rocket.
Before u claim this is another boasting by China with no verification. Check out what US intelligence observation of Tengyun flight.
Surely there is something wrong with its thrust engine.

The wave off warnings were very clear on that video - might not had enough time for the engine to spool up (suprised to see that video tbh - would have thought it would have been classified). Given the way the incident played out - they were lucky it didnot take out more aircraft in the incident.
Is the aircraft carrier still fit for duty? Or does it need to go to a home port for it to be repaired ?
There is a very simple explanation for this. It was invinsible and therefore the crew could not see it and so it crashed. Too high tech, advanced and cutting edge. So after paying $100 million per jet this is what they get ? Is there a refund or exchange policy ?

Toughest job to land a aircraft at the moving ship.
People are ready to make fun in PDF but only few countries with one of the best pilots do this extremely tough job for their nation's

F-16's won't come without strings attached - and i'm not even going down the lines of End-User Agreement.
