kchsload Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Came across these articles while while doing some thesis research, thought i'd share. Cliff Notes: 1. Beijing asking Russia for Su-35 Super Flankers due to an inability to use the word engineer without using reverse in the same sentence: http://the-diplomat.com/flashpoints-blog/2012/03/04/china%E2%80%99s-sukhoi-submission/ 2. China's fighters suck and will get their ass handed to them by the USAF (surprise!): http://the-diplomat.com/flashpoints-blog/2011/03/10/chinas-fighters-wont-match-us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yep, because J-10s, J-11Bs, and all their toys are no big deal for our aging fighters and our non-existent F-35 super-awesome-too-big-to-fail fleet. And worst of all, they probably all use LOX instead of OBOGS...we're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably counts guard, reserve and the boneyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
