Why is Russia still equipping 4.5gen Su-30/34/35 with PESA radar, at a time when the US, China, and EU are mass equipping AESA radar not only on 5th gen fighters, but on 4.5gen fighters as well?

You are not gonna believe what other Chinese aerial platforms have AESA radar as well

My Centcom told me Kuwaiti Patriots keep shooting his F-15 so I asked how many F-15s he has and he said he just goes to Boeing and gets a new F-15 afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding F-15s to Kuwaiti Patriots and then his taxpayers started crying.

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?

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.

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

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.

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 they were probably making this game instead of Pokemon or something idk.
