and the connection with the Dalai lama is?

Not in this case per se, but where exactly is the line on such extra-judicial killings?

I just feel uneasy with people feeling its hunky dory for the US President to be able to effectively order potentially anyone in the world to be assassinated at a whim without needing any legal justification or authority for doing so.

I wonder if you would be quite so relaxed if it was the Russians or Chinese who were going about raiding houses in foreign countries of people who they don’t like and issuing ‘take no prisoners’ orders and shooting unarmed people.

To which you replied:

I wonder what the People’s Republic of China would’ve done in this situation?

What China does with a militant leader taking shelter abroad is to let him live on for decades and transform into a quotable Nobel Prize winner.

LOL yes.. good points actually. I wonder what the People’s Republic of China would’ve done in this situation?

The Dalai Lama’s still alive isn’t he?

Wow, this really is a surprise! I never expected the Sinoraptor to have EO-DAS. It never occured to me the electronics system would already be this developed this early in the test program. What the hell?

More Sinoraptor

Yes, it seems from a special operations point of view, that it would be useful to have a ‘stealth’ chopper. The question is whether both Russia and China feel the need to spend on the development of such a type. I think both may well see the benefit to justify such a programme.

The US is unique in having a unit like the 160th SOAR and that it’s special forces are organized in a JSOC structure. Other countries don’t really have a dedicated special operations air arm.

Typically they would just hand pick a few pilots and train for special missions as required. They have nothing like the hi-tech gizmos 160th SOAR had a decade ago. It seems rather unlikely they’ll build a handful of stealthy helicopters just for special operations missions.

He wont be missed.

No, never ever … since never a Chinese fighter had a bay these are surely only faked lines made by Photoshop ! :diablo:

… some will claim.

Deino 😉

That birth certificate is fake I tell you… oh wrong forum.

First of all China is only building one carrier. Maybe a couple more will eventually be built, but that doesn’t justify the expense of navalizing the J-10or J-20, neither of which seems designed with carrier ops in mind imo.

The Varyag was designed to operate Flankers, and Flankers are a proven quantify for carrier ops. China already operates and build Flankers. Seems a pretty straight forward choice.
