what the hell is this sh1t? didn't they ordered the koreans not to come?
not long ago they gave a hefty fine to pratt & whitney for selling helicopter engines to china, then a few months after that they delivered s-92s to china equipped with much more powerful engines than the PW that got fined
?

The Chinese members present here should perhaps read this forum. Here the American members are talking about CX 1 and the threat etc. I would highly appreciate your reactions. Please ignore some stupid things that may have been said there, though, it is largely quite logical. I would like to know your views.

I was just about to ask the same question. U.S foreign policy these days tend to be kind of silly/confusing. Why would they tell Seoul not to come, but they themselves show up. Its indeed bad for the U.S to do such a thing to a close ally. Im sure the koreans wont be happy about this. But then again, what can they do?
Anyway i dont see why they would have even come on here, not like they had any indegenious weapon systems to show off(since almost all their weapon systems are kind of derived/produced with U.S support/systems, so they would still have needed U.S consesnt either way). So no point really.
I wanted to see Japan participate though, since thye have much more capable systems unlike the Koreans.

Looks amazing!!! Best photos of the simulator yet! In a few years, with both actual and simulated combat training hours, the pilots of the PLA are going to be top class (definitely within the top five along with Japan and the US), and better then most. Welcome to the club China, leaving Russia (who still has very outdated simulators) in the dust! I look forward to a day when the USAF and USN can join the PLAAF and PLAN in a joint training op similar to the joint US-Japan and US-Indian ops. Hope these days come soon.

Is that a Chinese version of the F-35 helmet mounted display? I can't quite tell from the pics, but the visor (the tinted part) looks transparent and I don't think it is, any updates or images on a Chinese version? I know that one is being worked on, but I'm not sure if it's been released for public viewing yet. I like the digital camouflage too!
And since I mentioned camo, are there any updates, pics or rumors about 3D vehicle camo? I was at Modern Marine 2 years ago and saw BAE showcasing (not sure if the US military is actually interested) a 3D digital camo for vehicles, any pics or showing of something like this?

Yes, it's a China version helmet mounted display for next-gen fighter pilot ... but i think it looks like a prototype here, later we should wait for more pics to see the helmet mounted display, it's hot !
Right now we didn't see China 3D vehicle camo, PLA vehicles still using Digital Camo. It's not a problem for China, coz Chinese building 3D printers in China and export 3D printers to U.S.
If the 3D Camo is more expensive than current Digital Camo, i think PLA has less interest in a expensive camo and can't afford the cost.

I agree with you on this, I myself im surprised to see the Chinese have advanced so fast in such a short period of time. Their weapons systems are indeed maturing quite faster than i thought. Guess in a decade from now, they will be in top tier 1 military tech power, The only remaining puzzle they have to break to get there is the 'HEART' i.e yea Engines. If/when they master this completely then im afraid Moscow wont have any business deals in Beijing anymore, since its only engines in which they still have a huge lead over the Chinese. This coming decade will indeed be an inetresting one to watch.
huh...... asnd before i forget, i hope the the U.K is obviously in your 'top 5' mr Svensvensonov?

The UK and Israel would round out my top five, with Turkey, India and France coming up next. I just wanted to keep the post somewhat short. Unlike you though I'm not surprised by China's advancement for several factors including their espionage capabilities, large and intelligence population, capital and resources and desire to become a preeminent military power. They still lack the real-world experience, and without fighting a war this wont come. I hope or China that it never has to gain the practical experience and that wars never find China or any other nation in the region (including the US who is still there despite some nations not wanting us to be).
I might give you guys (and the Canadians) crap about being our 51st and 52nd states, but you're our brothers without a doubt!
