  3.  @deanzaZZR  That’s not accurate. China has land disputes with Nepal, Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Tibet, and Mongolia.

  4.  @deanzaZZR  I just used Google and a number of websites confirm what I’ve written. For instance, China has also been accused of encroaching on Nepal’s territory along the two countries' shared border. China has been trespassing in the district of Humla, in the far west of Nepal. Another example is Laos. Laos has a 313-mile border with China that runs from the tripoint with Myanmar in the west to the tripoint with Vietnam in the east. China alleges that it owns large parts of Laos on a historical precedent dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. Another example is Tibet. After Taiwan, Tibet is perhaps China’s most well-known territorial dispute. In 1950, China enforced a long-held claim on the Himalayan country and incorporated it with its own territory. After an unsuccessful uprising in 1959, Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama fled to India where he had set up a government in exile. Im not going to provide explanations for each one. Just do a Google search.

  5.  @deanzaZZR  Well, it’s either wrong or you misunderstood it. There are scores of websites that discuss both the land and maritime disputes. Here’s an excerpt from one of them. China has also been involved with several land disputes with its neighbouring countries and recent times have witnessed an escalation of attack by China. India: India and China clashed violently at the Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh on 15 June, which is part of the disputed Aksai Chin region. The clash left 20 Indian soldiers dead and several injured. The PLA also reportedly suffered casualties. China has also staked claim on parts of Arunachal Pradesh. Nepal: China has a long-standing dispute over parts of Nepal that it claims are Tibet. In June, China annexed Rui village in Nepal, claiming it as part of Tibet. Bhutan: It also claims to own a large chunk of eastern Bhutan including areas like Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar and Gesur. On 5 July, China stated that it has a border dispute with Bhutan, for the first time since 1986. Laos: The communist country also alleges that it owns large parts of Laos on historical precedent dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. Mongolia: Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region within Mongolia, has also been involved in a territorial dispute with China but the last border flare-up between the two regions was in 2015. Myanmar: China and Myanmar share a 2,185-km-long border based on a 1960 agreement. However, two weeks ago, Myanmar accused China of creating trouble on the border and instigating terror groups. Tibet: Perhaps China’s most decisive land dispute is the one with Tibet. In 1950, China enforced a long-held claim on the Himalayan country and incorporated it with its own territory. Tibet’s spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and his followers were forced to flee to India, where they have set up a government in exile.

  6.  @deanzaZZR  Perhaps your source is biased, but if you choose to believe it that is fine too. It doesn’t take much to do further research and see that China has more than just one land border dispute.

  7. The US defense industry gives Russia a huge thanks. The war has showcased USA weapons, which has resulted in skyrocketing sales.

  8. @ Keep crying, Ivan. What’s funny though absolutely your comment is that GPS devices that can be found at Walmart are being found in destroyed Su-34s. The Russian pilots use them for navigation purposes. 😂

  10.  @j4genius961  Ukraine was losing badly until it had the HIMARS. Russia’s advanced significantly slowed down, and Ukraine was actually able to retake a significant amount of territory. Without US aid Ukraine would have already lost. It’s difficult to exactly say what is a game changer as you can’t replay the past to see the differences.
    1
  11. @ That’s only because the west hasn’t provided all the weapons necessary. They’ve just provided enough to not allow Russia to win. Russia’s suffering huge casualties against a country that wasn’t even ranked in the top twenty as a military power at the start of the war. Now look at what Russia has had to resort to using on the battlefield, golf carts, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc. Without the HIMARS in particular, Russia would have taken a lot more territory. It destroyed huge amounts of ammo, command posts, barracks, etc. Russia was gaining vast amounts of territory. It is now only a crawl.
    1
  12.  @j4genius961  Russia was advancing much quicker and with much less resistance until the HIMARS arrived. It took out numerous ammo dumps and control centers early on, which had an immediate effect. The US has provided Ukraine with only 40 HIMARS launchers, and look how much damage they have caused. Just to put things into perspective, the US army and Marine Corps have around 100 times that amount. Without the HIMARS, who knows how much more territory Russia would have gained.The Stingers, NLAWS and Javelins also had an immediate impact. They prevented Russian armored columns from advancing. With just a fraction of what is in NATO’s arsenal, Russia has taken a heck of a beating.
    1
  13. @ Russia is slowly advancing, and it is taking a beating at the same time suffering huge losses. Most of the countries helping Ukraine are providing humanitarian aid. The US is the largest military contributor, providing just as much aid as all the other countries combined. Even so the US contribution is less than 5% of its annual defense budget, and much of the equipment are older models. Ukraine received just 40 HIMARS while the US military has over 4000 of them. Ukraine received just 300 older Bradleys, while the US has over 6000 of them. The US has provided Ukraine with several thousand Humvees when there are over 160,000 of them in the US military. With just a small fraction of what is in the US arsenal, Ukraine has extended Russia’s three day SMO into nearly a 3 year war, and Russia still hasn’t achieved any of its objectives. Respect must be earned, and Russia hasn’t earned it.

  14.  @j4genius961  Of course not. Ukraine has asked for and received some of the more advanced technology, like Patriot missiles, NLAWS, etc., but the western countries aren’t going to hurt their own defenses by giving Ukraine their best fighters, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., especially equipment that Russia can examine and steal technology. For instance, the Bradleys that Ukraine is using is decades old technology, and yet it’s still doing exceptionally well on the battlefield. There’s also a huge cost factor. Newer equipment costs a lot more than the older equipment that is just collecting dust. Ukraine doesn’t have much of anything on its own so larger quantities must be provided. I am sure that Ukraine would prefer to have 3-4 Bradleys versus one brand new one coming off the assembly line.

  15.  @definitelyfrank9341  AESA gives the fighter numerous advantages over PESA. Lucky for Russia is that the F-16s being sent to Ukraine all have PESA, as well.

  16.  @definitelyfrank9341  Understood. He never responded to my first message so I’m not going to bother again. Thanks for the cordial comment.
    1
  17.  @definitelyfrank9341  Yeah, to some extent I agree with you. My reasoning is a little different. Just the simple fact that Russia has not used its air force much is why I doubt the F-16 will have as much of an impact. Furthermore, the F-16’s lack of stealth will make it much easier to detect. I have heard however that its capabilities with the HARM missile will grow, allowing it to strike more targets on the fly instead of by predetermination. I also am not sure if the F-16s and weapons being provided with them will include home-on-jam weaponry. Ukraine has been making slow but steady progress. It doesn’t have much more time though as the winter will soon arrive and limit their counteroffensive capabilities. The delay will allow Russia to go through another mobilization and create more defensive lines. Delaying the outcome is probably Russia’s main goal right now. It knows if Trump is re-elected that the US’s support will be reduced, and that Trump will push for peace talks, which is not something that the Ukrainians want. There are just too many factors to really be able to make an educated guess about how all of this will end out. Personally, I hate seeing all the unnecessary deaths that are occurring on both sides. I don’t want to see Russia rewarded for its terrorist actions, but I am also tired of seeing innocent lives being taken.

  18. @@JimCarner That would be great, I bet they’re going to receive them as is.
    1
  19. @@JimCarner Yeah, I completely agree. Egypt and China both had exercises that included Russian made Su-35s that carried PESA, and they discovered quickly how susceptible they were to being jammed. Egyptian Rafales with SPECTRA and Chinese J-10s with AESA rendered the Su’s blind. If the west is serious about helping Ukraine defeat Russia, then the F-16s should be upgraded before going into battle. I have my doubts because the F-16s that the Ukrainians are training on in Arizona are the oldest models, and I believe the ones they’re training on in Romania are older A/B models that went through an upgrade in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t to AESA.

  20.  @Irt7kwa  Ukraine would have lost by now if it wasn’t for USA weapons. Just look at how much trouble only 40 HIMARS have caused Russia, while the US has in its inventory one hundred times that number. Look at the ATACMS missile. It is a 30 year old missile that was being phased out of service and planned for demolition, and Russia struggles to defend against it. Thanks to Russia sales for USA weather have skyrocketed.

  21. Nah, they work in reality. It’s why Russia has suffered such huge losses.

  23. And you’re forgetting that subsonic missiles destroyed the Moskva, and ship whose purpose was air defense. You’re also forgetting that Russia’s SAMs have repeatedly failed to protect strategic assets like air bases, ammo dumps, command centers, naval shipyards, barracks, training centers, and even the S-400 itself has been unable to defend itself from the 30 year old ATACMS.

  24. Keep lying to yourself. You know things are going bad for Russia when its soldiers are using scooters, golf carts, bicycles, etc., on the front. Russia’s soldiers complain about how they are poorer treated all the time, and how their commanders don’t care if they live or die.

  25. Countries only joined NATO out of fear of Russia. Can you blame them? It’s a Russian lie about the coup. Yanukovych went back on his word to join the EU. Of course the Ukrainian people rioted. They don’t want to live like the 💩 hole Russia.
    1
  26. Keep dreaming. Countries like Egypt and Algeria are canceling their orders for the Su-35. Its antiquated PESA radar makes it susceptible to being jammed, which renders the aircraft blind. In fact, its happened in exercises in both Egypt and China. It’s why Egypt cancelled its orders for them, and is now buying more Rafales instead.

  27.  @Mamaro105  Is that why with such a small fraction of western weapons that Ukraine has humiliating Russia on the battlefield? With just 40 HIMARS Ukraine was able to nearly put a halt to Russia’s advances. Russia was making huge advances until a few HIMARS woke up Russia. Thanks to Russia, US defense sales have skyrocketed.

  30.  @struvrim  If that was the case, they wouldn’t need to use US microchips in the first place. They continue to try to find any holes in the system to obtain them. It’s much more than being about the software and code. Imagine trying to play a modern day video game on a computer that was created thirty years ago. It’s not going to work. The Lancet drone isn’t some high tech drone that is technologically innovative. Look at how drones just as capable are being acquired in the commercial marketplace. Plus it still has many of its components western made, including US made microchips. Russia’s not a technological leader. It never has been. “Lancet drones still rely on components of foreign origin imported to Russia. The first known instance of Russian weapon production using foreign microchips, manufactured after the start of the large-scale invasion, was discovered in a report published by the independent group Conflict Armament Research, which investigates captured Russian weapons on the battlefield. Researchers specifically examined the contents of captured Russian Lancet drones in February and March. As a result, three identical chips produced by an American company at an offshore factory were found. The detection of such chips does not necessarily indicate a violation of export control since the United States had not imposed restrictions on this specific type of chips until September. They could have been manufactured in August and possibly shipped immediately.”

  31. No it wouldn’t. The fact that the Su-35 carries its ordnance on the wings, which creates both wing and drag weight, will reduce its agility and speed. The F-22 doesn’t have this problem since the weapons are stored internally and near the center of the fuselage.

  32.  @googleplex1589  Who cares. The most essential maneuvers needed in A2A combat are high instant, sustained and roll rate turns. The Cobra bleeds energy and makes the aircraft a sitting duck. Seriously, go watch videos of pilots who were successful, and they all say the most important rule of survival in combat is maintaining your energy. A good example is the MiG-35. It can perform the Cobra,, but guess how it did in the MMRCA tender? Horrible. The only area it did well was top end speed, which is good for running away from a fight when the odds aren’t in your favor. Otherwise going fast is a real gas guzzler, unless the aircraft has the ability to supercruise.

  33.  @definitelyfrank9341 Russia is the one getting its ass kicked, and of course Russia would like air superiority. Don’t be so stupid.
    1
  34.  @boboboy8189  Because Russia has a significantly larger military with many more men and supplies. Russia’s losing far more soldiers and equipment than Ukraine, and Russia’s lost over half of the territory it once held. Plus, Russia has been on its heels retreating. Ukraine has taken back more land in the prior six weeks than what Russia took during its entire winter offensive. Don’t forget that Russia was supposed to win in just three days, and at the start of the war the west only provided a small amount of assistance by providing Javelins, NLAWS, and manpads. Despite fighting a country on its own border, Russia’s logistical capabilities have shown to be horrible; its army poorly led, equipped and trained; its navy has disappeared from the fight against a country without a navy; and its air force was unable to achieve air superiority over a country with an air force that is significantly outnumbered and with very aged aircraft.

  39. Hahaha Russia doesn’t know what air superiority means. It never has it. Even against Ukraine’s old and significantly outnumbered air force, Russia still hasn’t been able to achieve air superiority.

  40.  @user-my8zo8uh3n  It’s true, you just can’t handle it. It’s why Russia’s fighters don’t go anywhere near Ukrainian strongholds. It’s why Russia uses glide bombs from so far away. If Russia had a true stealth fighter it would be able to attack targets while flying over Kyiv, but instead it stays way back dropping glide bombs. If Russia had air superiority, Russia would have won the war a long time ago. The fact that it didn’t achieve air superiority early on in the war is why the war has lasted so long.

  50.  @prabhakarmishra2182  No F-16 was shot down, and I did lots of research. The so-called downed aircraft wasn’t even the same model, and it was a picture from an earlier F-16 crash. After you do some additional research you’ll find that the Pakistani pilots launched Amraams too early from outside the kill zone. While this resulted in wasting the missiles, it also kept the Su-30MKIs at bay not being able to engage them. The only aircraft that was downed was one Mig-21.
