@chakranewz Is it more difficult for a fighter jet to take off fully fueled and fully loaded from a land-based airfield at an elevation of 5,000 meters than to do so from an aircraft carrier? Extending a runway does not require complex technology or exorbitant costs.
@DCinvestor 👍As a travel destination, China welcomes all visitors. In discussions about China, we welcome any rational and objective participants. Neither wholesale dismissal nor excessive praise holds any value.
@mellowpropanex I am often embarrassed and ashamed by the stupid remarks of certain foolish Chinese nationalists as my fellow countrymen. Your words have made me feel a bit more at ease. It seems that arrogance and stupidity is a universal malady.
@wadhwa Yes, if the researchers from any country account for 20%+ of the author credits at NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, that country can develop its own LLM. Since these conferences do not discriminate based on nationality when accepting papers, any country could—in theory—achieve this.
@signulll Every Chinese private enterprise owner simply wants to survive the cutthroat competition. As for "compressing American manufacturing margins," that is merely unintended collateral damage.
@JaidevJamwal J-20 trainer does not exist. Official statements indicate that the twin-seat J-20S is not a trainer. Apparently the PLAAF has found a way to train qualified J-20 pilots without using any 5th-G trainer aircraft.
@tshugart3@CNASdc For traditional radar and infrared guidance, targets are just bright spots. Such detailed and accurate target models are unnecessary. PLA seems testing some precision imaging guidance, likely SAR or infrared imaging with AI visual recognition, to defeat countermeasures.
@johnloeber In an era of a brand-new technological revolution—amidst a landscape of rapid change where technologies have not yet matured—I do not believe that any bureaucratic institution is capable of determining and implementing policies that are most advantageous to itself.
@Aviation_Intel The specific performance data for the J-20, particularly its true stealth capabilities, have never been released. Anyway, the number of deployed aircraft may suggest that the PLAAF is satisfied with them.
@weaponswrld PLAN considers the AK-630 to lack sufficient accuracy and APDS rounds, limiting it to intercepting subsonic anti-ship missiles. PLAN employs it only on 022 missile boats and some auxiliary vessels.
@RiseBharata That is imperialism. India won its independence from imperialism. Do you think India can, and should act just like the British imperialism of the past? If so, should a more powerful neighbor also be allowed to subject India to imperialist occupation and colonization?
@beatsinbrief Oh? So you Indian guys acknowledge that the Indian Air Force is inferior, as an air force, to one that doesn't have a single jet fighter? The U.S. Army in this ranking.
@LunarCitizens Simplifying components and reducing weight on rockets and leaving more complexity and mass on the ground is a rational design philosophy. Moreover, the recovery grid is compatible with various rocket models.
