December 6, 201312 yr Interesting scenario but like Majestik Møøse I thought the little advanced capability given to the AN/APG-77 radar was unsat, it's designed for LPI operation so for at least the beginning of the BVR fight the 22's will have the advantage, not saying the Chinese couldn't detect them, specifically with their OEPS-27 EO system but it's better than the sim gives it credit for... More quibbling: All 6 AMRAAMs miss? Really? Still interesting
December 6, 201312 yr He is trying to write a novel... "are soon bobbing and weaving all over the sky to avoid getting shot down..." Far from fact, but I hope he and the other side keep thinking this way.

December 11, 201311 yr If by "not the most authoritative source" you mean "batshit crazy" then yeah, I guess you're right. InfoWars is ridiculous Yes it is suspect or bat shit crazy, take your pick, but the article only references an article in the China Times reporting on comments from the former Chinese UN ambassador, a lot of bluster and hyperbole but is indicative of how seriously the regime sees this, if it goes to a point that they can't back down because of losing face we better maneuver to either bloody their noses or let them have a show of force without changing anything in reality. This official, Zukang, is known for speaking his mind and not being very diplomatic (irony), proceed with caution.
