So it’s not because you’re one of those people who thinks China can’t produce anything despite producing the J-10, ZTZ-99 and several types of warship…ahh, yes that clearly indicates that they aren’t capable of producing anything. Maybe the aircraft featured at Chinese airshows aren’t real either? Maybe, the public are kept at a distance to stop them reaslising that these aircraft are all models???
Sad ******.
Because he’s hardcore…hardcore what I Dunno…but he’s hard core
Nice! Didn’t know they ordered them. Thanks
does anyone think it would be better to, for example, return to operating vessels like the Kiev? I know they intend to purchase “at least one” Mistral…perhaps instead of MiG-29K’s and upgraded Su-33s the Russians should consider an updated Yak-141 design? A capable V/STOL aircraft paired with a Mistral-type vessel may be cheaper and better
Does anyone else think Santa was the original creator of the stealth body suit? lets face it, presents appear at the bottom of kiddies trees yet no one has ever seen the big guy in the act…
…in the words of Bart Simpson “There’s only one fat guy around here who delivers presents, and his name ain’t Santa!!!”
‘This is the voice of the Mysterons…we know you can hear us Earth men…’
Honestly, puppet shows aside, the idea of aircraft carrier sub’s has gone from all serious plans…I think
Brittania no longer rules the waves
As has been said, I doubt Russia has plans to sell their sole aircraft carrier anytime soon. Why refurb’ her (or ‘him’ if in Russia…I think) and get the airwing modernised only to sell to a foreign nation?
I think the Admiral will be flying the flag for Russia for a long time to come.
Ahhh, but Greece is…and according to Tom Clancy, anyone who operates Russian hardware is the enemy of the “Free World”
Or an internal rivalry thing.. The MoD wants its own fighte fleet. And The Presidential Elite Guards (yadda yadda) wants to have their own fleet as well. And so does the Ministry of Oil. And the Ministry for Culture. Etc etc…
Sunnis vs Shias vs Kurds.
Please tell me you’re joking right? So in your opinion every Ministry wants…in effect…its own Air Force? Please…
It would seem more that the M2k’s were probably offered at a more attractive price…if this report is true at all
Have we seen any activity by the KPAAF? I’m surprised that the North hasn’t probed the US and RoK defences for reaction times. Could this be seen as a reluctance by the North to risk escalating the situation or perhaps an indication of the poor state of the KPAAF’s fighter force in terms of air worthiness
Either the Mi-38 or Ka-60 projects need to get off the ground, the Russian Army could do with a more modern transport. I know they are getting small numbers of modern Mi-171 choppers but isn’t it time for a change
My worry, is that the current leader who is obviously fast approaching the end will want to do something to be remembered by. An attack against the South, no matter how poorly executed and no matter the cost, would ensure his place in history
Awww no fair, does that mean no jokes either? Such as:
Clint Eastwood to US P-3 Pilot intruding in Chinese airspace: ‘US aircraft, you have violated Chinese airspace and are at risk of being shot down. Now the question you have to ask yourself is, “Do I feel lucky”…well do ya…punk???’ 😮
I don’t mind the Pak-fa colours except the way they colored the radome. Shoulda covered the entire area as in the yellow primer before paint than the white angled one. makes it look unproportional.
the first Su-35 colours don’t make sense. why yellow and brown?
Scheme was selected as it was aimed at exports to African countries if I remember correctly from the mid-nineties.
