True statement.

Since when did the guard get F22's? Or are you refering to the homework remark? I will agree that the Chinese have a long way to go before they are a real threat.

When I was active, we were terrified of the Mig 25 (Foxbat), until a Soviet pilot defected to Japan. Noting spot welds on structural cracks and vacuum tube avionics, we realized they were not nearly as capable as we gave them credit for.

That's not to say we should overlook the threat. The Chi Comms have purchased 30 subs (granted older boats) in the last 10 years while we have built one. They are about to send their first carrier on sea trials. This ain't defensive in nature, just as the Soviets claimed when they had a 3:1 ratio of troops, artillery, tanks, and jets on the East/West German border in the 1980s.

Thank God Reagan "wasted" (as our left leaning friends claim) so much money on defense. That and a few skirmishes between Isreal and Syria with top of the line equipment both sides were equiped with, showing the Soviets their superior numbers weren't enough.

The Chinese can afford to lose a lot more than the Soviets could though. If they ever get into building a huge merchant marine fleet, then we need to really pay more attention.

Guard has flown them for close to 4 years now...the Reserves have flown them close to 3 I believe.

I wasn't referring to the homework remark...

Was unaware Scrapdog. Thanks. All the things I miss out on since becoming engulfed in the civilian world. Oh how I miss those days.

Maybe this F-20 is planned to carry those carrier killer cruise missiles.

What the Navy needs is malware to intercept the lock on of these missiles so as to turn them 180 degrees for a new lock on to the sender. haha

Excuse me change my comment on the aircraft type to J-20

The Chinese also like to commit cyber-theft and deny it.

Actually the Chinese have been making stealth planes for YEARS!

Yes, I am a fighter pilot.

No, I won't expand any further.

Waka, how dare you not know of the great Scrapdog. Why here is a clip of him on the job:

Scrapdog may not know much about Naval Aviation and the effective projection of power around the globe through our CBG capabilities, but I bet he does have a good sense of ChiCom air offense and defense capabilities.

What's there to know about Naval Aviation? Not much....
