Wow, the F-35 is really in trouble with that evaluation.
I didn’t say that. I said China, the world’s largest new airliner market, won’t be buying Boeing and Airbus and thus go bankrupt. I know it’s not like the Russian airliners where their own airline companies don’t want to buy Russian planes. I saw that Real Sports on HBO where all of Russia’s star hockey players were killed from badly made crashing Russian airliners so no one wants to ride in them.
Big market? Those airliners are for China first. China is the largest market for new airliners in the world. It doesn’t really matter if they don’t sell in other markets. Domestic needs are the priority. The ARJ-21 is still in development. I wouldn’t be so smug because the Chinese government can just order the domestic airliner over the foreign one and that means Boeing and Airbus make no money in the largest market for new airliners in the world. And what happens after that? Bankruptcy.
Well the Russians have never sold their best military exports to China. So it must say something that they’re willing to sell it to China.
Maybe you guys should go back earlier in these threads when the argument was superimposing other fighters in comparison was not accurate. Many of you defending it here would be arguing against it then because it was coming from the opposing end.
Just symbollic since they have that nagging oxygen problem.
Yeah, all that security says L-15.
Since I’ve only used the word panic once and you’re crying about it like it’s the end of the world, it’s apropos. :diablo:
LOL!!! Have you contributed anything to the discussion? Again take your own advice.
Knowing or not knowing about the 052C has no bearing on this discussion. I am not a nautical guy. Ships should float, that is about all I know. I don’t see the intake descriptions you indicated on that photo and did we really prove the ICBM to be that?
Then take your own advice since you said because I couldn’t identify it, I couldn’t say anything. Hence if you only heard of a 052C, you wouldn’t know what China has in its inventory, would you? So how would you know what this is? You’re the expert. You can find the pic I’m talking about. I found it. Richard Fisher ringing the alarm bells in the US called it an ICBM, so it must be since Americans would never lie.
I have no idea means it’s not an L-15 because there are differences it has from a L-15. You’re really going to argue that out when you’ve only heard of a 052C? Go look at a pic of a L-15. There’s what looks like a cone in between both engine slots that a L-15 doesn’t have. Also I just saw a pic in another forum where the top street view of this the shadow is cast on the street. You definitely see there’s a different intake. And this doesn’t have ailerons on it. From the wing on the fuselage to where engines would be, the distance is longer on a L-15. And let’s not forget how they have security for a “L-15” but not for an ICBM?
Discuss? LOL! You should really take your own advice since you resort to insults to anyone who doesn’t comply with your own thinking.
Really if anything China has is nothing, why all the panic? If you’re trying to convince the believers otherwise, why do the hell do you care? So they get egg on their faces if they’re wrong. But somehow you’re still upset at something.
IMO, I have no idea what it is but it ain’t no L-15. That’s just wishful thinking hiding behind the police state mentality as an excuse that they wouldn’t do that.
Do you see a lead security vehicle with that ICBM? That time stamp on that pic says that camera was cheap not a professional camera with a long lens. Like everyone in China has a professional camera with a long lens handy.
Whatever floats your boat. I’m sure the commies in China are getting a good laugh just like with Gates who said China was far away from a stealth fighter and then having its debut on his visit to China.
That picture was taken from a passing civilian car. Where’s the security that you believed wasn’t important for a ICBM that now you say is not in the frame where a civilian got close enough to take that picture. I guess the J-20 is a decption too. Are you one of those that thinks the 052C is photoshopped and doesn’t really exist?
