So sick of readng “J-20 has S-Duct” who gives a ****? If thats the only advantage the J-20 has over current aircraft then give me PAK-FA any bloody day of the week.

Even looks wise, the Russian PAK-FA is MORE of an aircraft than the J-20 ever will be. J-20 looks like something from the eighties, at least the Russian design looks modern!

function more important than looks.

To say that Ch does not need something like a Su34 is clearly poor envisioned.

That thing (the JH7) obviously can’t fly past ~M1.5 without loosing its wings or fly at high mach nbr at low alt

Even a bunch of Eu country shld get some 34. Just think of all the savings man can make out of trans Med OP. This think was buit with the ETO in mind! :rolleyes:

different design same mission
it is like f16 and f18

Actually China does not have any place in Asia. It will always hide behind Russia for negotiated settlement.
Priority of Chinese leaders is too keep themselves in power they are in no position to intervene anywhere let alone North Korea. see Libya example. Chinese losses are the highest. Chinese does not have any influence in NK. why so many NK goes to work in Russia? as they want separate income stream.
The list of Russia arms suppliers in Asia is very long. starting from Vietnam, Bangladesh, Myanmar, India, Mongolia, South Korea etc. Russia intentially does not deal with Taiwan/Pakistan/Japan/NK
Only thing Russia worried is the war will weaken economics of SK/China/Japan prematurely. so Russia cannot squeeze them as much for resource prices. At some point Russia will completely cutoff LNG and other supplies from Middleast to Asia. (depending on how fast rearmeanent programes goes). Than it will force its own solution on Asia.
Germany went ahead with Nordstream pipeline but Japan made mistake.

lol you can go on any news site. world is begging china to stop north korea. obviously china is asias biggest influence. but even china cannot completely control a loose dog like north korea.
there is more korean in china than russia.

They are not trying to rescue North Korea; their objective is to overthrow Kim regime and install a pro-China puppet government.

china has to go in to make sure nuclear weapons do not fall in the wrong hands.

North Koreans “dream” of going to south. Tens of thousands risk their lives to go to south each year.

hundreds of thousnads of north koreans go to the north into china. they do not need to risk their life.

china even have autnomous zone for korean minority

The problem is that the Chinese paratroopers, if they are successful in getting into Pyongyang and not shot down by the North Korean air defense, would then face the ROK troops besieging Pyongyang 4 days later; according to the ROK’s war manual, the landing and the siege of Pyongyang is supposed to start 4 days later from the beginning of war.

The lightly armed PLA paratroopers would then have two choices, 1. Fight to the end or 2. Surrender and become ROK POWs. They are surrounded by the ROK/US troops, and no help is coming from mainland.

This is why the ROK is now eager to invade.

Before the nukes, the ROK would have looked the other way even if there were major instabilities going on in North Korea; now the North Korean nukes actually have made the invasion more likely.

Only two automatic triggers are known. 1 A Syrian style popular revolt or political struggle. 2. Either an immediate use of nukes or the transfer of nukes outside of North Korea.

Obviously.

actually in north korea they are trained to distrust and dislike south koreans so the north koreans will fight the south koreans with every single body they have.. they will fight them with their last strenght
china save north korea in the korean war so north koreans do not dare attack their savior

I am not a smoker. I do thank you for your concerns for my health, though.

Everybody with the exception of Russia wants to invade North Korea at the first available opportunity, even the Japanese cabinet is discussing the North Korea invasion plan.

This common knowledge seems to escape you, just like your knowledge on the PLA structure.

yes, china is the only one who can go into north korea during an emergency and set up an emergency government.
it is like how the americans came into haiti and saved them.
china is the only country north korea can trust

china do not support north korea to attack south korea or any country but we will defend north korea if some one tries to invade them.

north korea is in a bad situation and many times china tried to convince them to change the economic system but they are really stubborn and have too much pride. they think they can do everything by themselves.

but we do not support the idea of north koreas enemy using this weakness to their advantage to take over north korea for their own interest.

also russia has no place in north korea. it does not even have a place in asia.
if anything north korea is traditionally and rightfully china’s sphere. North korea was part of china as far back as the Han dynasty
