    Yeah but they have the utmost importance as a witness.

    We wouldn’t want the likes of Hillary or Obama being able to murder at will without any witness right?

    Or would we?

    That’s the dilemma. At least with a manned infantry, you know that the people making the final decision are fellow countrymen, when you remove them, it’s a blank cheque for the corrupt elite.

    J-31 is a bad airplane

    probably has low range because it uses rd-33 or 93s, and no fuel tanks

    its been noted to have poor thrust. Chinese aircraft are known to be underpowered which is why they are so long.

    some of the members here like deino or lazy guy will want to convince you other wise

    but in reality, even the Chinese don’t want it.

    it’s a monkey plane given to countries they don’t want to give their best things to. similar to the mbt-2000 and fc-1.
    in other words its an intentionally designed 2nd rate plane designed for 2nd rate air forces.

    i don’t consider kazakhstan a 2nd rate air force.

    What I can’t figure out is whether the CoL is even in front of the CoG on the J-20. Looking at the wing position it seems impossible.

    Like that’ll happen. See South China Sea and Taiwan for details. China is not about giving up claims to territory regardless of how ridiculous they are.

    Canada walks out of EU trade talks declaring a deal ‘impossible’ and Brussels ‘incapable’

    The EU’s free trade deal with Canada appears to be dead in the water as Ottawa’s trade minister walked out talks, declaring the EU “incapable” of managing international agreements.

    Negotiators have spent seven years hammering out the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Afreement (CETA) and wanted the EU and Canada to sign the deal this month.

    But Wallonia’s leader Paul Magnette refused to give his approval, forcing Belgium to withhold its support and so leaving the EU short of the unanimous agreement required to sign the treaty.

    “Canada has worked and I personally have worked very hard, but it is now evident to me, evident to Canada, that the European Union is incapable now of having an international agreement, even with a country with such European values as Canada, even with a country as nice and patient as Canada,” Ms Freeland said.

    Alternately…

    Brexit uniting Europe in light of UK ‘seperatism’.

    Yeah right. A quick look at the news shows Hungary isn’t happy lately either. Swedish people definitely aren’t happy either. The UK is just the only country that’s held a referendum so far.

    I am amazed that there was no French surveillance. Did I miss something?

    Probably surrendered.

    So what is an external compression intake? Ah okay, Googled it, basically an inlet cone.

    But how does that equate to Dianne Abbott calling EEL a racist?

    Because people like her only recognise racism in one direction.

    What has that got to do with my post?

    But I will bite. You are confusing nationality and race. Employers who say this are talking about the local workforce as they find it, whatever colour they are.

    But how does that equate to Dianne Abbott calling EEL a racist?

    Okay, so generalisations are acceptable as long as they target a nationality and not a race. So let’s replace ‘British’ with say ‘Polish’ or ‘African’ and is the comment acceptable? Also ‘Asian’ isn’t exactly a race either, it’s people belonging to a given continent. Big difference between say Pakistanis and Japanese.

    External expansion fixed inlet can be used from takeoff roll to hypersonic flight. It was planned for the Blacksmith hypersonic demonstrator and can be seen in artist drawings of SR-72.

    What do you mean by ‘external expansion’? A pitot intake suffers fairly dramatic dynamic pressure losses near M2.0.

    DSI improve stealth by tenfold. that is why most stealth designs will use it.

    F-22 doesn’t need it since it has very complicated s-ducts.
    j-20’s s-ducts may not likely bend as much as the f-22 but it will have the DSI to compensate

    F-22 has diamond-shaped ramps allegedly. I doubt they’d get M1.8 supercruise with pitot intakes.

    While the ambiguity will remain and add to escalation you don’t take on a nuclear attack on a near-peer with ICBM capability just because there has been a ballistic missile launched in an open ocean against a floating ship or a carrier. You reserve those for attacks against major population centers or against your own strategic deterrent (silos). Even the threat of doing so is unlikely to be credible as is evident from the anti-ship ballistic missile developments in China and Iran.

    That’s why the INF Treaty needs to go. We need our own precision ballistic missiles, there’s no point Russia and the US sticking to a deal if China and everyone else doesn’t.

    Out of interest, what ISP are those affected using?

    (I’m on TalkTalk).
