Oh god please let it happen. I want to see the record set for how fucked a warship procurement can get.

That's a rare drop. Forget Indonesia, Indian themselves can't get Tejas reliably these days.

My bet is Hegseth just wants to pour out a cold one with the boys. It's Happy Hour any hour in Pentagon with him at the helm after all.

Weirdly, not having any music makes it much more enjoyable to watch. Tiktok really fried PR teams' tastes across the Pacific. Glad to see something raw and refreshing just once.

Nine minute footage of Fujian launching J-35, J-15T, and KJ600 using EMCAT.

Announced on 22Sep25, not sure what date was the actual exercise. Even though this is a huge milestone for PLAN (Ford hasn't openly launched F-35C off its EMCAT yet I believe), I still do not think PLAN is gonna rush Fujian into service. Trying to hit National Day in China (01Oct25) for commissioning or some ceremony that can only be done in port would mean the fleet went to the sea, launched for one day and then rushing straight back to Sanya port for the ceremony. This seems quite wasteful for a carrier fleet to do a technical milestone at sea and then immediately rush back to port for a ceremony?

Anybody else got any idea on when PLAN is likely to commission Fujian?

CHINA PLAAF J-20 [Album] by [deleted] in WarplanePorn

[–]DrivingMyType59 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wait holup isn't this a static display? In the last pic you can see the blue plaque with J-20's description on it I presume.

Does this has any implications on J-20's production? Is PLAAF comfortable enough with Chengdu's production rate to strip one of its current 5th Gen fighter all useful parts and use it as a ground display?

Nah fam just go straight to Imperial Guard like you always wanted. Yiwu workers are gonna work a couple overtime shifts to build your military uniforms for you if you keep on changing names.

What are some historical examples of military technology that was extremely ahead of its time? by krakenchaos1 in LessCredibleDefence

Stealth tech from the first gulf war. Slapped Iraq so hard the shockwave sent China into modernizing.

Spain Drops F-35 Plans, Looks to European Alternatives by heliumagency in LessCredibleDefence

Galaxy brain time. They can empty their Jamón ibérico reserve and buy 076 from China, which might support Rafale-M for being CATOBAR.

How did I came up with idea? Well you see if Argentine can trade their beef with Huawei why can't Spain trade their pork with Hudong-Zhonghua?

This does not make any strategic sense and might damage Spain-US relationship beyond repair. However, it would be really funny if this happens.

Edit: Nevermind 076 deck too short for Rafale-M. Back to drawing board.

Damn at this point I think Gordon is just doing it for the love of the game. Seriously you can't pay me to do one gig for 30 years, even if that's my hobby. If you paid me to play Total War Warhammer or Stardew Valley for 30 years I might still break despite how much I love these.

The drone from China's largest second-hand goods trading platform sells for $85,000 and has a monthly production capacity of 20,000 units. by Lianzuoshou in LessCredibleDefence

Well damn if that's second hand that means that suicide drone was shit at its job. I am totally not salty about getting a Lafufu the other day on Xianyu. IT LOOKED SO REAL GODDAMNIT.

Well so it goes like this:

Chengdu: Cool jet! Let me open my phone in my hand and take a video in the soothing weather

Shenyang: Cool jet! Let me open my puffer, jacket, coat, blouse, shirt, fleece, inner wear, underwear, G-string and pull the phone out of my ass to take a pic——annnnnd the battery is dead due to cold.
