1960s style nukes, the type that china gave to pakistan are low tech. pakistan then transfered this to NK and Iran, so it was still beyond their reach.

miniturized weapons desgined for cruise missile techs, variable yeilds, and asociated interlocks & controll, the simulation physics and 4th gen nukes are not low tech

remember the w-88 issue with china and the us

And yes, and remember that the W-88 issue actually involved a Taiwanese scientist, not a PRC one.

So think about it.

Strange, I have always heard the exact opposite.

I don’t see how to support that, especially with the export versions of the N001 (N001E). The IAF Su-30Ks, using the post cold war export version of the N001, appear able to more than hold their own in BVR engagements with USAF F-15s.

The tech for microchips and nuclear weapons are very different. I didn’t know Taiwan had nukes already. I am sure it would appreciate a few.

Nuclear weapons are low tech. That’s why Iran, Pakistan and North Korea could master it. Taiwan could easily master it like Israel except that the US would not allow them to do so (S. Korea and Japan would not want it too).

Certainly Taiwan needs no help in missile techs; they got the HF-3 supersonic AshM, the HF-2 sea skimmers and the HF-2E cruise missiles. Their TK-2 SAMs has a 200km range, with both an active radar seeker doubled with an IR seeker, and their TC-2 is a working ARH missile, the TC-2A a passive ARM.

Besides, what is the point, Taiwan isn’t going to win in a nuclear exchange with China, who happens to have thermonukes.

there exportation plans in this plane????

That’s why you have an export designation called FBC-1 (FBC-1M for JH-7A).

So we are supposed to believe this plane has the five digit unit number and a unit emblem of some sort…all on a photo that isn’t in color. How convenient.

WAAH… too bad for you. All that does not interest me at the moment. What interests me is the lack of camouflage pattern which you can’t hide by decolorization, similar to planes #10 and #12.

Since when was the IAF ACM a politician – this is not China where the military is saturated by the “peoples party”. The Indian military is famous for being apolitical.

Even in the US military, getting to the top requires political skills. There is no such thing as a military that has no political skills.

I do know in the Indian philisophical sense that god exists everywhere, and its to the individual believer to see the manifestation of the divine. So in short – the believer probally knows more…. ahem – the corollary is that the end user knows more in the Su-30MKI – the IAF 😎

In the Western/Middle Eastern/monotheistic sense, god not just exists everywhere, He also exists beyond it. The believer can only comprehend God as to what his limited capabilities as a human can percieve, and therefore the believer can only see a glimpse of the truth, but never fully in all its glory as only the Maker could.

And you believe everything you see in a brochure… and you think that they are always right?

I have a bridge I wanna sell you, I can send you the brochure 😉

And you believe everything what a politician says too?

I will tend to follow what the maker says, whether it’s on a web page, brochure or interview unless they say otherwise. It’s their product most of all, designer and maker, and they have the most priority to be given the most margin for belief after all by inherent right.

Answer me this then. Who knows more about Christianity? Jesus Christ or the Pope/Cardinals/Archbishops/Clergy?

And the performance of the aircraft would be known by the IAF more than anyone else out there. They are the operators – the only ones out there. They have significant engineering support from HAL and Irkut.

And Irkut is the one posting those figures I am mentioning.

Hey if it makes you feel better, you can believe your own illogic. Go ahead with your Su-30MKKs, we like our Su-30MKIs just fine – and between you me and the rest of the zillions on AFM we know which one is better :diablo:

Who cares? Do you think I care about the penis contest on the MKI? The Chinese view their MKK as a transition product, not an end all or be all. They have 100 of these planes already, out of a nearly 300 Flankers they have on service, with another 24 to be done next year, plus another 20-30 J-11s.
