    I’m quite suprised at this guys tenacity; every time he is beaten, he just ignores the argument, and argues completly different.

    Things this guy has said:

    Woman are naturally inferior to men.

    Chinese people are unintelligent, and suck at math and science, this is why their country is so weak.

    Kanwa is a unflawed source, and is also very very reliable/accurate.

    Why do we keep wasting time on him? Just ignore him, he’ll go away.

    Washington Times — Not exactly a reputable newspaper.

    Chinese crews with wide-angle ANVIS nine aviators goggles? That is what I call a big surprise!! I thought ITT or Litton were not delivering to commie China.

    Money tend to fix that issue.

    Back to a more aviation talk, what is the strength of the North Korean AF and the local PLAAF that they may have to fight?

    Terribly Unbalanced.

    You mean “Fat Man” 😀

    That’s an interesting notion, but I’d assume they’d have gone for the simpler gun-style design used by “Little Boy” instead.

    The ‘Little Man’ 😉 Gun style device is horrendously inefficent, and requires enriched uranium, which North Korea likely does not have. They have plotunium, however, from the Yonbong (sp?) reactors which they operated.

    It fizzed, NK was purported tob e seeking a 400KT bomb, but I assume the charges did not go off.

    They were likely attempting to design a ‘Fat Boy’ style implosion design, and the plotunium failed to compress uniformly.

    Thats a presumed ground level test – and the distance was compensated for.

    With a nuclear weapon, only a small fraction of its yield is translated into seismic energy, the majority of it is released as heat.

    However, if this was below ground level, it would mean the bomb was tiny, and likely fizzled.

    4.2 on the richter scale is 7.5^8 Joules
    1 KT is 4.2^12 Joules

    0.32KT Test?

    Pointless, fighting gravity like that would take insane amounts of fuel. Unless you can get a platform in orbit, and with extremely good point defense to ward off attacks, its not reasonable.

    I don’t exactly see whats wrong about this. It doesn’t damage the United States in any way except by denying them of obvious spying over Chinese land.

    Also, if its so secrective, how do these reporters know?

    Calling bull****.

    Crobato have many aircraft progams have you managed? i guess you must be a great designer as Artem Mikoyan, i wonder the MiG-23PD and latest MiG-23 powered by Al-31 are not true.

    Crobato did SIBNIA worked in the J-10 from the begining? from 1988 onwards, your doubts have to be true because you are Artem Mikoyan junior 😀 godfatehr of Lyulka who knows everything about aircraft structural design you are a PHD in aircraft manufacturing.

    Crobato honestly relax the evidences shows re engining is not as complex as you put it.

    You happen to be some great russian engineer who happens to have a big mouth?

    Hehehe We have all the experts, all engineers and designers, i wonder Why SIBNIA says the J-10 is more less a Lavi variant? i wonder why SIBNIA say they helped the J-10 program :rolleyes:

    And you’ve spoken to engineers who’ve worked on this, who decided to break whatever NDA they signed?

    I own this bridge…

    But the problem is you are talking about using a rock to divert the course of a car… or the mass of a Granit to divert the course of a supertanker…

    The mass you’d need to eject would be very large and you would need precise control of its direction to ensure the reaction force of the recoil diverted the object the right way… otherwise you could just accelerate it or decellerate it slightly.

    Given 10 years warning, a 10-100 meters per second change in velocity towards one side or another could alter the orbit well ehough to miss.

    You don’t need very much armor to have a coup.

    Anyways, in Thailand, the king is still universally respected, and by all accounts, isn’t someone who is prone to making rash decisions. When the the two main political parties in thailand got into a tussel a while back, the king calmed everything down.

    He isn’t doing very much right now though, him denoucning the coup could bascially destroy it.

    It is not a matter of only looks but of historical accounts, when you read about the Ching kuo or the F-2 you know perfectly General Dynamics (now Lockheed) was involved in their designs, in the case of the J-10 it has been reported the Israeli involvement, Russian reports acknowledge the Israeli involvement, the Russian evidence is the best since they played an important part in the J-10 design.

    The americans also reported Israeli involvement, so it has been accepted by the vast majority of Historians the J-10 has an IAI Lavi ancestry even in spite the J-10 has several different aerodynamic characteristics.

    I don’t think modern fighter jet development is oonsidered “History”

    The only “Historians” who deal in this stuff are war nerds taking a guess.

    Give it a couple decades, this’ll be a little more revealed.

    I think you guys are getting GoldenDragons arguements wrong, he never argued that Chinese planes such as the J-10 were purely indigenous, rather, he states that China has a very modern and very effective infrastructure for the design, manafacture, and maintence of planes. If that infrastructure requires foreign engineers to boost the effort of indigenous design programs, then it will do so.

    That is, what I believe, GoldenDragons argument is.
