I'm the only one awake in the middle of the night. I must admit that I'm cracking myself up.
Some pretty crappy video of China's newest fighter, an F-16 knockoff. No video on the aircraft carrier. Oh well.
It's an old Russian model. Nothing to be remotely concerned about.
You guys didn't read my first post,silly people its not the navy. Oh I for got about cyber warfare too and yes,were are computer parts made?
Go ahead, downplay China's military capacity. One of the biggest difference between them and us is the level of willingness to expend personnel.
I don't downplay them at all. We Americans like to talk a big game, but I wouldn't be at all comfortable fighting with them - or Russia. We've got nukes, and all kinds of neat stuff, but much of that is too few and far between to make a real difference, and who would want a nuclear exchange? No one wins that. And you can see the impact some or our "neat stuff" has in action by looking at the stealthy tail rotor pictures at the supposed bin Laden hovel. That would be the one that crashed and burned for whatever reason. Oh yeah - and the Chicoms have that now, too.
Before we hardee-har-har at the Chinese, let's remember our industrial capabilities in comparison with theirs. Like WWII Germany, superior technology would be crushed by superior numbers. They've got plenty of raw materials and capability. We have a service industry. I guess we could defeat them by just not giving them their fries and a Diet Coke?
