I thought Chinese arms procurement - to this point - followed a pretty rational process of licensing Soviet and Russian designs, having them looked at by state design bureaus and built by state run industries. It seemed reasonable, even when they had issues making their own engines or electronics: The J-11 is a Su-27  H-6 is a Tu-16  Z-7 is a AS365 Dauphin  Sometimes it got interesting, like Chinese ZTZ-96 MBTs still using the automotive design of the T-54 through the present date:  or their BMP/BMD derived designs having different proportions: ZBD-04  ZBD-03  That all tracks for me. So, are these unproven designs and concepts for export or have they decided to discard a functional system that delivered reliable equipment in a timely manner?

Have they discarded it though or are they just doing something else as well? Gotta look ahead and their ability to produce new designs is outstripping Russia's pretty quickly.

I thought they were just random concepts for a show and that their traditional MIC is still plugging away on more conventional designs. I would say probably the difference now is they don't really need to fully adopt Russian/European designs at this point and can simply deliver new designs with the knowledge they already gained from reverse engineering and now decades of experience. Also, the T-96/99 are T-72 clones, it is just unclear how much they have been modified. The big thing the Chinese are now doing is long range exotic airborne as well as underwater drones. In particular, the aim seems to be at basically creating a radar/sonar net across the entire first island chain.

Au contraire, Type 99 is, Type 96 is based on continuous iterative improvements that originated way back with the T-54. a bit more here, though I’d have to look for more documentation to see how much the suspension and drivetrain changed. https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/modern/China/Type-96.php The first-line armoured divisions in active service today within the Chinese People's Liberation Army are equipped with 2,500 Type 96 MBTs. The much upgraded Type 98/99s are in comparison only reserved to elite units of the army. The Type 96 is also a far away descendant of the soviet T-54A. The latter was adopted for mass production with the help of USSR back in 1959 and copied as the Type 59, then gradually improved over the years through the the Type 69/79 (mainly exported), the Type 80/88 (L7 derived 105 mm and brand new drivetrain) and eventually the Type 85 (that swapped the old hemispheric cast turret for a composite, welded one).

we all know that the US Navy has the Top Gun program less well known is the "Red Flag" exercises by the US Air Force is there a similar program in the USMC for Marine aviators? are there similar/comparable training programs for other countries? is there like a French Top Gun?

gradenko_2000 posted:we all know that the US Navy has the Top Gun program I think USMC/Navy pilots both go to whatever TOPGUN is called now. USAF equivalent is more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAF_Weapons_School. Red Flag is a short exercise that all all branches and a bunch of other countries go to. It's Fort Polk for fancy pilots (Fort Polk is where most of the annual opfor training stuff happens for ground people if you youtube JRTC you can see the units that get to pretend to be redfor pwning noob troops (not actually that interesting)).

Danann posted:https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/all-the-air-combat-developments-out-of-chinas-massive-air-show It’s been like that for a while. There are not many military writers that aren’t staff officers or former staff officers with sleepy billets, maybe some academics for the journals, so what remains has been trimmed down to people using twitter for stories because a newsroom or magazine is not going to have a defence staff writer and I can’t imagine freelancing pays the bills. The 3 conferences I went to this year all had twitter streams that used the official hashtags projected onto walls throughout, so even within the “Defence Community” twitter is king.  You couldn’t go a few metres without finding a screen or projection of a live feed like this in Ottawa, Halifax or DC this year. Frosted Flake has issued a correction as of 20:03 on Nov 9, 2022 |

I'm reading this book, "War of Numbers", by former CIA analyst Sam Adams, and it's the story of how he had found that MACV under Westmoreland during Vietnam had basically ignored all evidence (some of which he uncovered) that their estimates of VC/NVA strength was being undercounted by something like half-a-million men, and that when he tried to run it up the flagpole he just got stonewalled even from within the CIA itself, with Director Richard Helms himself threatening Adams to quit bringing it up. So the Tet Offensive happens and there's a big pile of paperwork demonstrating that they knew all about the coming buildup but just didn't want to acknowledge the numbers. Anyway, in a later chapter, Adam talks about how he got shuffled-off to the Cambodia beat after his bosses got irked with him trying to leak the pre-Tet Order-of-Battle estimates. He chances upon a memo about the Army challenging the CIA's estimates about the amount of war materiel is coming down through the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The official CIA number is 77 tons of supplies per month, which strikes him as low, and the Army is insisting that it is, and that it should be re-estimated to be higher. Adams goes back to his old buddies working at the Africa desk to check on the Biafra insurgency, and asks them about what the supply pipeline is like for the rebels over there. His friends tell him its 150 tons per month, coming over a single dirt airfield. The comparison is, of course, ridiculous, and Adams starts writing a memo to that effect. His co-workers on the Vietnam desk try to wave him off of it, but he soldiers on, because it's The Truth, goshdarnit. His memo comes out, and it circulates between the CIA and the Army. It's at this point that Adams finds out that the reason why there was this discrepancy, to put it mildly, is that the CIA has been trying to make it sound like all of the VC's supplies can only ever come through the Ho Chi Minh Trail, because if it doesn't, then the only other possible source of supplies would be if they were coming through Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The Army then uses Adams's memo to bolster their case, and while certainly one memo couldn't have possible been the one thing that America's invasion of Cambodia was justified with, it did play a part.
