  2.  @simondaly8714  1-to-1, chinse versions are lower quality. but china still cannot produce the high end chips, and so nobody wants to share that technology with them. same for things like jet engines, high speed rail wheels, etc.

  3. low quality production too

  4. and the enemies they face are likely better trained, experienced, and want to win and survive as much or more than the naïve mercenaries.

  5. 99% of military service is hard boring work. not fighting. and fighting is brutal and very dangerous.

  6. If I were the US gov, I'd want Saudi to buy the J-20, so then we can get access to them.

  7. Yes. even back in the days of Vauban Star Fortresses, the garrison was rotated in 1/3 shifts. Naval ships have crew rotations as well. People as well as equipment have to be rotated out. People need time to sleep, perform daily tasks like cleaning, eating, relaxation, etc. And time to perform their duties. the standard 8hr workdays is based upon a 1/3 rotation too. 8hrs sleep, 8hrs work, 8hrs personal time. Ships, aircraft, etc. also rotate out like this to get maintenance and such.

  10. no sympathy. our gov sold out our industry to China, and China is a bad actor on the world stage. supporting a dictatorship to get cheap products is not ok.

  11.  @SeelkadoomTHS  pmc? you mean hiring people to do maintenance? mere maintenance is not combat, and thus not a mercenary, just a mechanic.

  12.  @SkrixFox  PMC, like PMCS Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services " PMC stands for Professional Military Contractor. In other words, a mercenary or gun-for-hire. They are the equivalent to Wagner, Blackwater, Gazprom PMC, etc." that's literally a mercenary, how do you not understand that? "They call them "volunteers" and their pay is considered a donation." 100% false Compensation is compensation, no matter what you call it. And gov's don't "donate" a person their pay, volunteer can donate their effort without pay though. Also, mercenaries are outside the military chain of command, it's not just about pay. It's also about not wearing a uniform of a recognized combatant nation military. this is why Foreign Legions are legal, as they are officially joining the military for which they are fighting, and wear their uniform, and take orders, and are in teh chain of command, and get paid as soldiers.

  21.  @danhtran6401  still need to know hof far behind they are, what the radar is, range of detection, true flight performance and maneuverability, get better radar signature data, etc. You can't just go into combat overconfident and relying on assumptions and guesses and expect to win every time. the more you know, the more likely you will be able to win and make the right decisions. US made a lot of mistakes in WW2 as a result of OVER estimating Japanese capabilities, and not understanding they could beat things like the Zero, not knowing how Japan would use their submarines and battleships (they basically didn't use them, but the US thought they would), etc. and this resulted in missed opportunities to end the war 6months to 1yr earlier. The US also ignored reports of MkXIV torpedo failures for far too long. the number of Japanese battleships, carriers, and other surface warships that would have been sunk in the first 12 months of the war is staggering.

  22.  @andyman8630  yes, exactly. know exactly how to defeat it by knowing how good or bad it truly is, rather than rely upon speculation and Chinese propaganda. Then develop or adjust tactics if/as needed to deal with it.

  23.  @danhtran6401  depends upon who you're asking about? Some people MASSIVELY overestimate him. Others dangerously underestimate him.
