The quoted range is surprisingly low though. Most estimates of the PL-11 I’ve seen were around 30-50 miles or 50-80km which is comparable to the Aspide.

Not only that, as the article said, the FD-60 is aimed at countries “such as Pakistan and Iran, that have inventories of US fighters.”

So according to Jane’s, FD-60 is compatible with planes using the Sparrow. Aside from PAF F-16s, Iranian F-4s and F-14s are possible candidates.

It is for existing aircraft and systems. Its appearance has nothing whatsoever to do with the SD-10 which is a new missile to be mated with new systems.

Ooops, looks like your problem is solved.

My life has turned into a complete wreck and i dont know what to do????????
can you help me. I would go to extreme measures to go out with her . She knows it and she still aint caring about it:( 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

Here’s one more smart-ass reply:

Secondary school????

No dating until you’re 31, just tend to your studies, young man.

Seriously: Use written notes. School is one of the few places you can do this. Write something funny that tells her how much you like her. It replaces knee-knocking terror of having to say something in front of the person you like.

You must be very easily shocked.

A South Korean Newspaper states that Koreans are, on average, of smaller stature than your average Russian Tank trooper and I repeat that. I guess the South Korean Newspaper can’t be racist because they aren’t white, but I can because I am white.

That’s interesting. Give us a link. You just can’t say a South Korean paper said something and have us believe it. I’m Asian, though not Korean, and have not read anything about S Koreans being extra comfy in Russian tanks.

The average Russian tanker is much smaller than the American one (Soviet tankers have a height limit of 5’4″ if I remember correctly) and Russian tanks in general are cramped for people used to American or western style tanks, including the Korean 88 tank which is design along the lines of Abrams.

Also, I just read that all three Asians in the NBA are 7 footers (Wang, Batere and Yao). Therefore, the average Chinese NBA player is much taller (at 7.2 feet) than the average American or European one also playing in the league. Extrapolating the NBA ethnic height average to the general population, could we say that northern Asians, in this case – Northern Chinese, are on average taller than whites? 😀
