    talk about the engine that the J31 has. 💰The engine makes it stealth. Not the paint!

    Had 2 Uncle Ground Grippers out there, and Uncle in in a Mosquito Pathfinder Squadron, a Step Father Ground Gripper on Kokoda. A family friend Ed Lenthall, haven't been able to find anything on. Australian WW2ers did a bludy good job. Thanks to those who serve/served

    honestly, its just an f22 with F15 wings, F35 tech, but all that crammed into a mini little "fighter". No internal weapons bay and very small wings so i feel like payload capacity would be very small

    They were a wonderful aircraft! When they were taxi- ing , they reminded one of a ballerina on tiptoes, they were so graceful and very fast once airborne and lit up . What a delight to watch as they would go straight up on a tail of fire! A wonderful interceptor!

    Sorry mate, but Hurricanes could never outclimb Spitfires. The heavy Hurri was easy to fly with its thick wing, but then so is a cessna. Thank God they were replaced quickly.

    The great Balat's AMCA is the strongest fighter in South Asia, and of course, there is also the South Korean KF21 in east Asia, these two fighters are the strongest in the world, there is no rival, and the other aircraft are fake

    Dont worry guys it dosent matter how capable and power the mighty AMCA looks like but in the and our airforce will reject aircraft and purchase foreign aircraft most probably F35 or su 47 cake mate. I dont think amca can be reality any nearby 2220😅

    Soooo.... Copy pasting plans doesn't make a 5th gen fighter. If you don't do the research, you don't know the pro's and cons of certain design points. FWIW Russia's development programs are done in 10's (10 prototypes, 2 of those have the most recent designs and equipment and can be shown as "operational"). That is why we don't see SU-57's or T-14 Armata's (the same deal for Russian tank development. 10 prototypes, 2 rolling tanks). Russia does their own development though. So they might know what they are talking about. China, just copy pastes stuff and has no (ZERO) knowledge or experience. Dunno about India....

    it was not a BF109, it was the body of a BF109 with a Jemmo motor for bombers, it was manufactured by the Cheks after WWII and it was a terrible airplane, Israel lost many pilots because the airplane had the landing gear uneven, and also the machine guns were out of synch and shot the propellor off. Israel paid good money for these airplanes and demanded the Cheks to repair the airplanes, at least the Cheks wanted to sell airplanes to Israel, not like the UK or other countries that hoped the Jews would be exterminated and the State of Israel obliterated.

    You cannot "project power" with two or three of any "warship" because it is physically impossible to maintain ONE carrier "on station" in a "trouble spot" with no "spares" maintained "combat ready". "Refitting" ships must be an ongoing 24-7-365 "industry" for the civilian "workers" and "shipyards" that do it as a FULL-TIME JOB. You cannot "refit" one ship every several YEARS and have any economies of scale. Least of all if you have to have "your" warships "delivered" so zero percent of their "crews" have any part in building, fitting out, trialing and refitting them. USN personnel are aboard new USN vessels as soon as they are launched if not before and see the ship through all the way through the "shakedown cruise". They are called Plankowners because they go aboard when the ship is "bare bones". The RAN needs a "bluewater navy" about as badly as every other "western" country in the "Commonwealth of Nations" including "Great Britain". The "world stage" does not need their presence any more than it needs Japan's or Germany's or Russia's or any "empire" that only discovered "democracy" after the "age of sail". 95% of the "continent" Australia is unexplored "wilderness" and is completely "undeveloped" with zero resources there "for the taking" and therefore "invasion" is not a remote possibility. Just like the rest of the "Commonwealth of Nations". Islands are resource black holes without an adjacent mainland especially when they are net importers of basic necessities of life. Unless they can "earj their keep" and produce POPULATION GROWTH SUFFICIENT TO KEEP UP WITH INFLATION AND/OR HAVE SOME "STRATEGIC VALUE" NO "GREAT POWER" WITH A LEGITIMATE DEMOCRATIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT, ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY AND NO "RULING CLASS" OF "ROYALTY" KEPT IN "POWER" BY "NOBILITY" HAS EVER "SETTLED" MUCH LESS "INVADED" ANY ISLAND "SOIL" BECAUSE THEY DO NOT NEED THE "ECONOMIC GROWTH" AND DO NOT EXILE THEIR "PEOPLE" TO "COLONIZE" A PIECE OF "LAND" NO ONE HAS "DEVELOPED" ALL OR EVEN A MAJORITY OF "HISTORICALLY" BECAUSE NOBODY THAT HAS SET EMIGRATED THERE IN THE PAST OR DESCENDED FROM THOSE WHO HAVE WERE ABLE TO "LIVE OFF THE LAND" IN ITS "NATURAL STATE". YOUR OWN "CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHS" AND "HEADS OF STATE" HAVE NEVER "RESIDED" IN AUSTRALIA AS LONG AS THE "AVERAGE" AMERICAN TOURIST SPENDS THERE SO ITS "WORTH" THE 3 DAYS OR SO OF "TRANSIT TIME" SO JUST HOW "VALUABLE" AND "SOUGHT AFTER" DO YOU THINK YOUR "SOIL" IS?
