Those are
all 70's/80's ideas. Meaning it's nutin' to
brag about...


The following however "comes much later" -
- from the new millenium in fact... therefore it has to be appointed

The 21st century,
"it must be agreed", is upon all of us... We now live in a global
village, remember?

This means "no more monopolies as in the the 50's, 60's
70's, 80's 90's"... In other words, in this newest of global enviroment, "technology is a magical thing
when applies correctly, appropriately, and justly".  

Or is it that [the anglo-American century] simply
just refuse to accept or to acknowledge that yellows, too, just like greenies, are
human as well and that they too come equipted with a pack of neurons and that those neurons are
no different from those of other neurons in this world?

China should be more worried about an ATTACK FROM SPACE base weapons!

But can you trust them!

Land base aircrafts can be ECMed, or TURKEY SHOOT by guided missiles!

cheerios!

sadly, innocent people on the ground don't have FoF ID system...

all we heard about few cases when "manned" aircraft shoot dead quite intentionally dozens of civilians... on weddings, family dinner, etc.
now "unmanned"... how do You think, number of those "situations" will decrease or increase???

is it easier to pull the trigger looking at the target from close distance, or from hundred or thousands miles away, when there is only an icon in red frame, barely recognizable on the screen (possible danger, fire y/n)?

this is not even a "snipers war", because snipers are equal players of some kind...

If you are an example of chinese neurons... then I must conclude you are missing a few key ones fo ...

Unless many changes had been made to this bird that I had not gotten wind of since the early 80's, then this thing is a cumbersome thingy which at best can not do anything better than subsonic speed even at altitude. And, when you are at war -- all out war and not dirty war -- speed are the essence. Yes, the R&D had been going on for at lease that long and when I first got wind of it, it was via a headline which reads: Is it a bird? A UFO? What? And that was early 80's when it was testing over some snowy Alaskan Alps when caught on camera by some hikers.
