Well, Tawian is limited with what it can purchase. 🙁

It’s not about the purchasing power! What we’re
talking about is the technology involved and the technology
involved “IS PURELY and SHEERLY POLITICS” :p hence the term “CK”
(someone’s initial) after the designation “F” (fighter).

I mean if the mainlanders were to have followed that pathetic route,
they’d be calling the J-10 after Mao and it be known as the “Fighter-Mao
Tse-Tung-1” (or F-MTT-1) instead of whatever it’s now known as.

And the brains behind the IDF? Likely those of Pratt and
Whitney, General Dynamic, Grumman, Lockheed, etc., etc., but the credit goes
to the Islanders instead because of the politics behind it.

“There’s no glory in bragging about a handout especially if it’s used
for politicization purposes and if it’s used as a put down of those of their own kind
and a handout and a put down is exactly what the IDF is all about.”

.

Its ironic how a certain country which has been giving away missile tech and more for years while being an NPT signatory can actually have the right to lecture others.

just my two cents

:p :p :p

Finally, you guys think you can now start to
throw your weight around isn’t it :p ? Or thinks that this is
an alliance of a life time for you guys isn’t it?

Well… don’t jump for joy just yet because I don’t think your
neighbour to the north is just going to sit there and do nothing. If logic would
have it, I’m sure they match you guys pound for pound inch for inch and that means
an even more dangerous subcontinent than it was – EVER!

And, if you must know, this specific country that you’ve mentioned in
the above is not concerned a bit about this alliance. And honestly speaking, I think
they are more concerned about the chance probability that hard heads in your part of Asia
will go haywired and start a full scale and all out conflict in the region.

I mean have you guys ever considered that equation, and what it might
mean to the world? That country’s opposition, was not in consideration of her own welfare – guaranteed!
“Their reason was for the cause peace in a very volitile region of the globe.”

They definitely weren’t preaching anyone as you would like to put it.

With upgraded Radar, Avonics, and Engines. All combined with AIM-9X Sidewinders and AIM-120 AMRAAMS. The IDF would make a excellant point defense fighter. Hey, I can dream can’t I? 😮

Don’t jump for joy just yet because…

I would consider it a half a**ed F-18/F-5 wanna be (or, a better
description would be the F-CK-18) because, in configuration it tries to take after the F-18 while in
punches it’s probably no more than the F-5 Freedom fighter’s range.

I mean be serious! The Americans are not going to let these Islanders
have anything better than an F-5 because of fears/concerns that pilots from the Island may deffect, thus
secrets such as F-14’s, 15’s and 18’s would fall on mainlander hands.

It’s only simple logics. That plane is pure politic.

Good news: Israel resumes military exports to China

Tehnology Transfer? Seriously…

Unless the deal involves the Lavi such that people from the west
won’t have to have such a hard time explaining away the magics of the J-10, then, it’s probably
not something that’ll work equally to the favor of the Chinese.

Reason: The US simply won’t let it happen.

PLA Generals claim 2006 defence budget increase is insufficient

So do I. I mean given the clear act of hostility (encirclement) directed
against the Chinese; something which even the blind can see which direction headed;
that budget should have equal that of the most wastefull of this world.

I think, that like Chinese everywhere, that Beijing too have had enough
of the hatred, the cold threats, the bigotry and the discrimination. Thus, she
probably knows where her place lies in the greater schemes of things of survival and as
such, handling it in an intelectual, in a sensible, and in a tolerant manner.

That gradual increase in the defense budget is in proportion to the
growth of the Chinese economy. Thus, making a big deal of it as the west does is,
in essence, and in my opinion — making a mountain out of a mollhill…

Why Chinese continually gets oppressed by right wingers

I know many Chinese friends and they have a term
that goes like this: Even a Bhudha made of cold stones and
clay gets irritated and it gets pi**ed off sometimes :p.

I mean who wouldn’t be if they’ve so methodically, so
intententionally, and so intensively been picked on and targetted as enemy
number 1 when all she wants is to be everyone’s friend.

Man!!! This probably includes one of China’s principle Islands
http://english1.people.com.cn/200602/24/eng20060224_245683.html
and all the hybrid F-5/F-18 of which I deemed J-6.99 in it :p .

.

honestly. it aint chinese.

WRONG! :p

It’s a form of :p Klingonese-Chinese :p
and it’s from the planet of Krypton from a constelation
a couple of million light years away :p

Fare: RMB Y5000.00 per worm hole :p …

Hello guys..

I got this model of MiG-17 Fresco, built by a friend of mine 11 years ago. I would like to know what the transcriptions on the plane mean.. Can anyone resolve?

Let me remind you that the guy does not speak or write Chinese so some characters may be just wrong..

Thanks in advance for your help

Flex

Hi flex,

Sorry to disappoint you, because, I’m merely a Canuck and as
such may not qualify for the “Chinese prerequisite :p ” you’ve requested.
But, fear not my friend, because, I’m a Canuck with a babblefish programme installed in my
motherboard. As such, I can positivitly and unmistakably tell you that the
inscriptions means well so don’t unleash those AAM’s just yet :p .

However, I can also tell you that the writing itself is not from this planet.
It is in a language better known as Klingonese. And Klingonese happens to be one
of the most impossible of language to try and decipher. But, :p based on the seriousness
of the writings or inscription :p, I would assume that what it is, is that it’s a
welcome gesture to the Captain of the Starship Enterprise and…

“it says don’t shoot Captain! We don’t mean you harm :p !

.

We had an idea what might happen, but we still didn’t know the
full scale effects of a nuclear detonation. A bunch of geiger counters or whatever
weren’t going to predict the outbreaks of cancer or birth defects.

OC, that’s as if saying that Hitler said that he didn’t know what
the true horrors would be like if say a couple of million of hypnotizing
Jewish women, kids and all, were forced into the gas chamber.

So let me get this straight. The US
government, since it’s inception, has only fought wars and
attacked others based strictly on racism?

That’s unfair, OC. You know, I know, and, most likely plenty of people
know that race was a factor though it might not be the only reason behind it.
I mean why reject it. I mean as I said, it’s human nature and as human beings,
it’s time for us to admit our faults and hopefully adjust our thinkings.

If it was racial we would have just tried to take
over the entire country, to hell with North and South, and
killed people on both sides with equal regularity.

Easier said than done, OC. I mean Vietnam
have pride also and pride is the thing that drives
us to be couragous and to be patriotic.
