    I did not say too hard, I said reliable and safe. What’s funny is I’ve seen the TS data on 4th/5th gen vs ROW but I must not know what I’m talking about.
    Here is what you said:
    "This is an under appreciated aspect of IP theft. If Russia or China was able to produce a suitable enough counterfeit product, there would be a lot more countries outside their spheres of influence that would be buying a near-similar level product at a discounted price."

    Since when are Russia and China worried about their weapons being reliable and safe? They send 'em up anyhow and accept the losses. Same as they have always done.

    I still have contacts in the DOD world as well. Are the Chinese fighters fully equal to US? No. Are they junk that will be easily blown out of the sky? No, from my sources and what I have read. They are capable enough to inflict attrition on us. And we do not have the quantities of aircraft we once had, so attrition will be costly.

    Get in line, poser. Keyboard commandos know more than anyone who has ever there and done that.
    And some keyboard commandos use to work for DOD weapon systems contractors, held Secret clearances and worked on black weapons programs.

    You ain't the only person in the world with some knowledge.

    what we really don’t need right now is fighting in the exclusion zone near the new Chernobyl containment dome. A stray bomb and we have a new nuclear disaster on our hands. Any solid news on fighting in and around that area?

    Yes but I stay in my lane - for example I do not know jack shit about chinese fighter capability. But when they can do Cat/Traps in the Gulf of Mexico or fly 10K miles with A/A refueling, or actually shoot another fighter down I will take notice.

    The Uk. invasion has brought out the crazies on the site.

    Yeehaw!

    I'm qualified to say that as I have a .007 license, honest, really and for true and if you don't agree, I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue...

    Now, back to my super secret past, listen...

    Nobody is more sure of what happened than the folks who were not there.

    You sure have a wide lane.

    Shame some folks are apparently not capable of learning about anything beyond their direct personal experience.

    You may only care about their ability to physically reach the continental US. I have concern about their ability to reach out and touch Taiwan.

    I am capable enough to know open source materials are mostly bullshit other than basic facts. I am capable enough to know most claims of commie equipment come from warmongers wanting more $$$ to counter a bogus threat.

    And the ability to reach Taiwan from Mainland from air was achieved decades ago.

    What a thread. I know it’s tense and emotions are high. Might feel offended by this or not. Definitely skating on thin ice with forum rules but I think this one time anyone who wants to join me in prayer for the people of Ukraine, the world, our misguided government and even Putin to see the error of his ways. I pray that our Heavenly Father will guide people back to good judgment and do what’s right. If it’s our time it’s our time.

    That’s all I have to share. None of you will hurt my feelings by making fun of me or replying with nasty responses. Stay safe today. Roads are bad.
