France says it cannot deliver Mistral warship to Russia over Ukraine

Type 071 is pretty old. Aren't the Chinese coming up with their next gen landing ships?

 

[Aepsilons]

Ahahahahahah........are you nuts my friend Nihonji?. Russia will never buy such weapons from China(they might buy e parts whuch they seem to be doing now since we impsoed sanctions on them), they still see themselves as superior(which they are militarily, though not in all aspects/fields anymore) to the Chinese and have too much pride to purchase such systems from a country that was once a junior/small partner. They will rather buy from us. How times are changing.

You think it would be considered an insult for them to buy Chinese ?

China is the top dog of the SCO alliance. I don't think it would be insulting for Russians to buy from Chinese, but more realistically share technology such as diverterless supersonic intake

Yes i know. The U.S is at least 2 decades ahead of anyone/country in the world. However, it wont be a never ending cycle. Remember there was a time when we ruled the world/ocean, Nobody could ever imagine our former subject the U.S could even come close to us.lol Today its a different story. So at some point they will catch up and even overtake if they keep growing and make use of their true potential. Remember they really just started their modernization a decade or so ago. So we will ahve to wait and see.

The US has been launching the X-47B off carriers for a year now, while China has no real naval aviation experience to speak of. Lets not get crazy...

X47B is nothing but an RC toy. No intelligence.

China pretty much spat on Russia when they rejected on working together on Pak-FA
I wonder if they'll work together on building a ship like Mistral

Russia needs China more than China needs Russia that's sad

wait til x47-C with DSI your mouth will water

Considering the fact that most of Russia's arms partners in the West (Germany, France, UK) are showing signs of selective bias, it might become a necessity for Russia to partner with China in defense processes. It is by economic necessity.
Whatever the case, best wishes to our Russian counterparts.

Russia will expand the business with China, so they can acquire more cash to invest in their home made weapons.

Yeah man. The US won't allow Japan to develop fighters. China and Russia should show an example of technology sharing. DSI from China. 3D thrust vectoring from Russia.

@F-22Raptor , this is more the reason its important for US defense companies need to cooperate with US contract cyber security personnel to prevent loss of Intellectual Property to outside forces. Imagine, the cost to develop such R&D is in the billions of dollars; these hackers can acquire and bypass years of research.

So long as the US remains the pre-eminent force in terms of R&D, it will remain under constant attack by data miners. Unfortunately.

 

[C130]

why would China help a competitor?
China is on the verge of knocking Russia out of the Arms Market with knock off soviet planes that are advanceed with Chinese science (engine,radar,avionics,weapons)

they would lose money by making Russia strong again just saying. it's business you know

only thing China wants from Russia is nat gas and oil, and in the few decades all of Siberia east of the Urals

No, you are very wrong. You're talking to someone who has professional links to the JMSDF.

 

[mike2000]

I don't think Britain ever had tech superiority over Americans, did they?

Bro are you being sarcastic or serious?
Our Empire and its navy during its heydays had no equivalent/challenger(apart from Germany who tried and failed). The U.S wasnt even in the same league with the europeans let alone the british empire. The hell they were our colony until 1776. it would have been longer if not for the treacherous frenchies.

F-3 is extremely restricted. Being JF-17 classed, plus not allowed to first fly until 2017 at the earliest, by which time J-20 and PAK-FA enter service. The US puts a lot of restrictions on Japan. The US wants Japan to use F-35 starting in 2019 so as to control Japan.
