Who gives a shit, Serbs deserved it.

I’ve got an idea: since it’s pretty clear that F-15 is going to stay for quite some time, why not give it a permanent IRST mount (as on Typhoon, Su-27 or F-14) so that it can do stuff like this:

No, it isn’t.

So his team sucks and now he has to whine and blame others for something. I really didn’t expect his from him.

People who think that Aztek, Prowler and Cayenne are cool should not reproduce.

And you actually suck at it.

I agree, especially on the second part; with the exception of overestimating their capabilities - like you said, the entire western economy (not just the US) currently cannot afford itself a massive arms race.

Don’t tell me that you are buying this good vs evil bullshit. Military industrial complex is a well-known and proven thing. It has nothing to do with any idiotic conspiracies. And then there is a matter of global and regional influence.

You didn’t see it where?

It is true that the lack of a domestic-designed turbofan is a major handicap for the Chinese military industry. Their latest design is actually based on the core design of CFM56, of the 70s vintage. Soviets had a similar problem - they were unable to build a good high bypass turbofan. Chinese can’t do any kind of…

My point is that Nimrod, just like the P-3, was a purpose built aircraft. Both of them were adapted from an airliner in general appearance only. Their entire fuselage structure is different, as is the construction of a wing (with airfoil being the same) - major internal difference, all due to the low-level…

Not an idiot, just a simple mistake/jump to conclusion.

Me too, please?

He just touched the car and then backed off, what you saw was driver throwing the harness.

The answer is obvious - Any Group 3 or 4 racing car of the 60s:

While canards are though to be detrimental to stealth, J-31 doesn’t have them and J-20 is alleged to be a descendant of the stillborn MiG 1.44 demonstrator, so there might be something good there. A slight sacrifice of stealth for greater maneuverability, among other things.

Exactly, the problem is with the carrier. Su-33 is a failure if it is used in STOBAR configuration. And that’s why I think they choose wrong. By the time their CATOBAR carriers are ready, a navalized variant of J-31 will probably be ready as well.

Nimrod was designed specifically for ASW, being optimized for work at low level, something that imposes a great stress on the airframe (wings especially, that’s why they had to be replaced), which is also the biggest criticism of the P-8. The fuselage of Nimrod was designed specifically for its role, and is better…

That’s not the “American way”; it is the general doctrine for the aircraft carrier warfare. If you’re gonna use your carriers for something that goes completely against the established logic, you are pretty much a fool.
