There have also been a number of cases where production has over-run licensed numbers for bootleg sales. I think it was an Audi manufacturer (to sell cars in China, they have to have a local partner) who put on an extra shift that Audi knew nothing about to crank out cars after hours. They just put a different logo on…

I think I'm gonna start turning the sound down on these - the Allahu ackbar!!!s get grating after a while.
they may be a POS, butthey are a gorgeous POS.
The Kri Klewang was also built in a shed and launched with a bobcat (mini excavator) towing it down to the beach. Designed for construction with very limited ship-building facilities, you could also free up military shipyards by contracting the construction to yards along the Mississippi.
Did not know that. Makes me wonder if they've ever been used for covert insertion somewhere that Hinds may be seen but an American chopper would be noticed.
yep, no nose wheel. Looks like they're changing it but an odd spot to set up a camera shot. You'd think a minder would have guided them o the next bay.
my $0.02: Recruitment tool for computer savvy teenagers. They're trying to use the game so that teenagers begin thinking of the PLAAF as a viable career option rather than private industry. It hasn't really been that long since the Chinese air force was the same as the North Korean one and they need people to -want-…
Daaaaaaammmmnnnnn.......
How manycans of hair spray does it need?
Gee, the PLAAF must be getting better.
a defenseless plane, needlessly tormented over international waters by yahoo Chinese fighters brandishing their weapons...
Two thousand pounds of high explosive on a rocket with next to no guidance system. Seems like an incredible waste of money for freakin' zero benefit to me.
Well, Russia needed something to turn about its population shrinkage. Stir up enough trouble where the diaspora is an maybe juuust enough of them will come home to prevent Russia becoming wholly Chinese.
Roo-hunting....
the scariest thing is that right now there will be a post on a Russian site that says exactly the same thing and that if some from the US found it, it would quickly be spread about as proof of how warlike, savage and criminal the Russians are...
"Hey, it's Nialls from the Nanny!!"
Given the secrecy of submarine operations, I wonder if Moscow thinks they've rumbled the Yanks, the Yanks think it's the British, the British think it's the French, the French think it's the Chinese.
Googled it - found this which says that access to Nickel was the problem. May not be the whole picture (the jet was a poorer design than the British version) but they have a lot of numbers and stuff.
LOL @ "parachute practice". Good points also.
