    I think they should have the same idea as singapore. The battle must be fought inside the attackers territory not their own. Massive strikes at china with their navy and airforce. Both these countries don’t have the stratergic depth to have a land war.

    This is a losing proposition. By keeping the battle only on the straits, you can expect China to only throw a limited amount of top of the line fighters. SAM fire will not be as heavy.

    If you throw your best fighters on an attack, expect them to confront a very large amount of WVRAAM armed planes and be engaged by SAM sites.

    hehehehe Powder that was developed further in Europe and science that was developed in Europe.
    Russia only used the nene to shorten time but Russia has so good mathematicians and scientist that they have developed so much avaition technology that besides the US no one stands behind them
    The Lavi is not a failure is a success for Israel it is flying as the J-10 😉

    the two regions in the 21st cetury that have more nobel prizes and hold more patents and break throughs in technology are still Europe and the US we like it or not

    Lets take a look it at it this way. If the first forms of life were not created by the random churning of primordial soup, we wouldn’t be here today.

    Origin can go a long way.

    It cannot be argued that China isn’t a nation with a rapidly developing aiviation industry, one which is provided with substantial funding; and one which is making very rapid progress. Without the skill and daring of the Wright brothers, we might still be flying propeller powered biplanes now.

    So Meat tell me…. what are the qualites of Jetfuel….

    If Jetfuel.. or Kerosene…. or diesel can melt steel then wow..

    Your the one who obvisouly swallowed the garbage given to you from the 911 reports…

    And still not one of you have bothered to address the fact that in a Senate report the CIA said what it said…
    Nor have any of you bothered to give a reply about killing unarmed civillians….
    And again… WHAT the hell is this post doing here??

    Some of you certainly have some deluded morals……

    Go away, Bring_It_on already debunked one of your tinfoil hat theories, I’ll debunk the rest of them.

    This is of course, assuming that you learn English first.

    I really like the Iranian J-10…………………looks first rate! Of course anything would be better than a re-engineered 30 year old F-5? :diablo:

    Iranian?

    Mainly engine, althought that will too quizkly become indigenous.

    I think that Chengdu will be too busy producting planes for the Chinese market to really focus on export for the time being.

    You’re joking. Does any country keep older jets on QRA for the sake of airliner interception?

    No, but every nation has older jets – and if the situation warrants use of a gun, they can use an older cheaper jet.

    Supersonic missiles have many drawbacks as to their usage. That large ramjet intake in the front tends to act as a pretty big radar reflector. They are also bigger, and produce a very heavy infrared signature. There is a reason why the United States never went for a supersonic antiship missile.

    I think a variety of older jets would be fine for intercepting airliners.

    With high off boresight WVR missiles such as the ASRAAM, I’m not too sure how useful guns would be.

    So a heavier PESA can make up for its deficiencies vis a vis AESA.Well Russians build heavy a/c and it can fit in a PESA with 2-3 TWTs and what not to come up close to AESA performance.Just look at the nose cone of the SU-30 MKI , its huge , youc an fit in a lot there.

    ARGHHHH.

    I don’t know why people keep arguing this point.

    Yet another one of these posts again. Yes, with PEAS technology, you can simply use a bigger nosecone and an bigger antenna. But, an AESA is around a factor of 5 more energy efficient then a PESA set, you’ll be forced run a bigger generator off the engine, and with the same amount of power, you could have a far superior radar or a smaller, cheaper, jet.

    Using size to compensate for an inferior technology is not a good thing.

    Here is a reality Check:

    1. The receiver DOEs NOT look at the received signal at the individual modules. The received signals from all the modules (participating in a single beam) are combined in respective phase relationship to get one Rx signal. This process is just the reverse of TX.

    2. The modules DO NOT work independently, and they CAN’T be at DIFFERENT (not even SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT) frequencies. At any instant of time, you MUST have the same instantaneous frequency and phase for all modules.

    3. A single module emit energy over the entire field of view. People have the notion that each module scans a small portion of the sky. That is TOTALLY INCORRECT.

    Bah, I might be wrong on the receiving part then, although both methods are certainly feasible, the timing for a phased array would have to be impossibly precise. A phase shift actually seems a better method now I think about it. However, its relatively hard to explain a phase shift, while timing, most anyone can understand.

    2. and 3. are true, a computer does not “combine separate images” the beam generated by an AESA/PESA radar is a single beam. The T/R modules do not act separately, they act collectively as an single antenna.

    I promise the Datalinks and Jamming article to be in soon!

    The deadly presence of a massively-oriented built-up of KPA arty positions can somewhat be viewed as a good testament to the recent desicion of US forces stationed within Korea to relocate their camps further to the rear to keep themselves out of the effective firing range of KPA arty positions.

    Can’t you realise how it would be devastating to those forward-deployed around the DMZ? Once they opened firing almost simutaneously with little warning.

    Futhermore, It’s not a matter of utilizing a combination of qualitatively superior tanks and helicopters and so on, but a string of nuke mine fields planted along the major routes of anticipated KPA drive into the south can be occured trying to keep their full drive south in check.

    The top brass of US forces won’t let unnecessary friendly losses rise deciding to blow it up while a huge number of enemy tanks attempting to make a significant breach on the defensive line hastily ride over it.

    I have a rather good feeling that it might give both of them a rise to a round of Nuclear bomb spamming or something like that.

    They thus have to be supported by the powerful presence of US forces capable of exercising a strong nuclear deterrence over the enemy ambition to militarily conquer the southern part of the korean peninsula.

    KPA Artillery would be quickly overwhelmed by South Korean counterbattery fire/air strikes.

    The problem is, the only KPA artillery which has the range to bombard SK positions are old WWII/Cold War era models, they are immobile and are hidden, not to say horrendously inaccurate.

    If they ever open fire, expect precision counterbattery fire to take them out instantly. I highly doubt any gun would go through 100 rounds before it is destroyed by counterbattery fire or airstrikes. Artillery is useless if immobile, unprotected, and inaccurate. The KPA cannot attempt a tank push, as SK would have control of the skies + CAS along with twice the number of more modern tanks.

    South Korea has no problems defending themselves against North Korea.

    They sure have that many Army divisions forward-deployed? 😮

    Good thing for you not to face getting on the chartered US aircraft to move your bum ass out of your place leaving thousands of dead fellow koreans behind. :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

    I would say ROK Military is at best not that powerful enough to hold out a massive built-up of highly fortified KPA arty positions pounding on them like sheets of rain way too long and has been maintaining a virtually limited capability of monitering the enemy’s activities all around the clock so that they’ll have to be able to write a few thanks-notes to the Mr President in the state asking him not to pull his boys out of there. 😀

    What the…

    South Korea has twice the population size of North Korea, more then twice the number of tanks, planes, and other technological goods. The only advantage North Korea has is that they have a 9:5 advantage in troop count. That advantage will be easily neutralized by having superior tanks, planes, and artillery.

    Any build up of KPA positions along the DMZ will be countered with a buildup of SK troops alongside the other border.
