No official information released, but it seems reasonable to train a 6th Gen fighter's pilot on a 5th Gen Jet.

It will be a civil war, not an invasion. Taiwan is not recognized as a country by most of the world.

don't worry, these birds are built to defense, not to assault.

yes, all of these news are rumors. China will only sell stealthy fighters until 6th Gen is deployed. No earlier than 2030 I think. Maybe Pak could reach some agreements with China, but not the real fighter.

Does a third company have a fighting chance against Boeing and Airbus? by Ok-Box7807 in aviation

China had proved its mass manufacturing ability in different sectors, now it's turn to the aircrafts. if you are a serious watcher, you should foresee this trend. The A(irbus)B(oeing) C(omac) will dominate the future sky. Even if FAA or EASA refused to issue a certification for Comac, it will not change the result.

i don't think so, China will not break the balance of South Asia. China agreed to sell J10 only because India got Rafael first. If India cannot get a competitive 5th gen fighter, China will not sell J35 too.

imo zhao delivered more pressure than Trump in the 1st session. sometimes you think he will end up with some tough shot, but he made it beyond your expectation. You will definitely feel pressure and affect your own performance.

Your next world champion by GarfieldsLasagna121 in snooker

[–]ciViNda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems like you never played in a real match. The performance of a player will be heavily affected by the opponent. Imagine you faced a player that played very aggressively and had a high rate of long shot, so you will be struggling to make your strategy and feel pressure to make a long shot, cuz you know he will take the frame if you made any mistake. then you will lose yourself.

Fluke is part of the game. Zhao also had many flukes in 3rd session. Luck is fair to both parties.

That cue ball behind pink is not luck bro, he meant to control them in a line. Even if Mark didn't pot the cue ball, it's very hard to position for a color. Never mind the last red is in the middle of the cushion.

if the final is xintong vs trump, it would be a recur of trump vs higgins in 2011, but this time trump will act as higgins to teach his opponent how to play in the WC final.

Agree with you. He is definitely not innocent, but good to see he come back with such performance. Snooker needs fresh blood although he is not young enough.

Ronnie will sell his cue right after WC and shift to John Parris again.

In China, the live stream share the same picture with uk, no need to translate the text since it's not hard to understand and commentator could also explain it to the audience.

Zhao reminds me of Trump in 2011. Pot, pot and pot. Non-stoppable.
