exciting... new russian fighter to be revealed.

 

 

Looks like an opposite number for the F-35.

Despite the fall of the wall, some things will not change.

So can the company store the energy in battery and sell to other economies....?

Just need to lay the HVDC cable from SG to the buying economy.... 

But there must be expansion from the current 120sqkm in Aus to a larger space.

i read somewhere that Japan is working with Oz to use solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and then ship the hydrogen to the power plants in Japan...i think this method is more feasible

Japan is working with OZ to extract hydrogen from brown coal.

Japan has a readily available hydrogen transport ship.

Lastly, Japan has been developing hydrogen for 20 years.

Talking about unmanned combat vehicles, this is pretty interesting - your basic Bell Jetranger converted to become a drone with lots of spare payload capacity:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_MQ-8C_Fire_Scout

 

And in a departure from typical naming convention ,the MQ-8 designation doesn't refer to the airframe, as you can see the obvious differences between the MQ-8B and C, but likely refers to the "brain" that operates the flight controls.

Hopefully it will one day take to the skies again, to replace what was one of the best-restored B-17s, Nine-O-Nine that was destroyed in a crash in 2019. I attended an airshow where a B-17 took off and as it taxi-ed past I just drank in the propwash aroma of avgas and engine oil. Beautiful planes.

Must be from Missouri...the show me state.

Anyways, the aggressor must be able to win and hold on to the prize...or else.

Can the PRC afford to lose and pay as per Japan.

Japan got away in one piece, losing only the sakhalin they got from the Russians.

Guarantee 100 percent China will be drawn and quartered. Will the PRC risk losing?

Its more like bodybuilder CEO, not coolie street hood.

Do not lose the aim.

I think sgp soldiers should at least have an individual drone that can survey and function as an incendiary. Lithium batteries burn like WP.

One becomes two.

I think the fact the people of Japan, Germany, south Korea have what they are today says alot about the character of the victors. In Russian and prc hands... no way.

And without American influence... good chance at least south Korea ... maybe even Japan.. would be nuclear armed today.
