    Comparison between Blackhawk and Copyhawk. There are some very minor differences but it’s almost 1:1 copy.

    Disarming would be cheapest choice since UK is already covered by US deterrence, and their deterrence is already very much US based.

    I think it comes as a shock to most people on either side of the Atlantic when they learn how much the UK depends on the United States for its nuclear deterrent. Even I was a little taken aback during my visit to Aldermaston when Don Cook, the Managing Director of the Atomic Weapons Establishment, began to address us in his flat American accent.

    I thought “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Couldn’t they have found someone British?”

    After a couple of days at the AWE, and a tour of the lovely historical collection, I accepted the reality that, no, the United Kingdom does not in any way, shape, or form have an independent nuclear deterrent.

    Russia is not stupid, to give others knowledge they do not already have of advanced avionics is stupid.

    The U.S. is far ahead of China, and I would bet large sums of money Russia’s finest are also decades ahead.

    Russians had to buy souped up Searcher II UAV’s from Israel to “learn” from them, and same time Chinese are flying their own drones. Of course systems what make a fighter jet are different, but things are not that black and white when it comes to aircraft technology.

    If Russian were decades ahead in every area they would not be buying drones from Israel.

    or the selection of a chinese tank by peru.. you should see how they went nuts over how great they thought their tank was, when in the end peru went against it and bought russian.

    To my knowledge Peru has not yet purchased any tanks after they cancelled the deal back in the day.

    Ah, well this is the Kingfish that is all over the internet referencing a Mach 4 design for the competition won by the Skunk Works A-12.

    Perhaps you have an image to compare to?

    Here is an image of the unmanned “Fish” parasite aircraft that was the precursor to the manned “Kingfish” design pictured above:

    That is actually it, but Bob told in the book that the mach 6 Kingfish would have been manned.

    And here is Kingfish design of late 1950s vintage:

    This Kingfish looks nothing like the Kingfish wind tunnel model seen in Nick Cook’s book, and according to Bob Widmer it was supposed to be mach 6 plane.

    SR-72 looks a lot like the wind tunnel model of Bob Widmer’s “Kingfish” as seen in Nick Cooks book The Hunt for Zero Point.

    I don’t know why people still argue about J-10’s length since it’s official specs were shown in Zhuhai 2012.
