#1 another poke at India. Those jets will never be used against Taliban, Pak or Afghan.

#2 Somebody still has to fly the things. Or will the ChiComs provide "trainers and advisors" to do the driving like the Russians did for the Norks during the Korean conflict?

#4 Took three attempts to post that time.

Anyway, Frank: a poke in the eye to India, or a poke in the eye to us? It would definately be a poke in the eye to us if we had an American president who wasn't willing to overlook Pakistan's sheltering of a mass murderer who killed 3000 people ten years ago.

SteveS: Why wouldn't they provide drivers? It's not as if we'd stop shoveling them money and what's left of our manufacturing base anyway.

#6 The Paks are whores. This will just give us an up close and personal in the event we haven't had one already.

#7 CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > CHINA SET TO MINE INDIAN OCEAN [seafloor = UW resources], DELHI WORRIED, that China will use such econ ventures to deploy or base PLAN surface warships, etc. in their backyard.

ION SINA ...

* WAFF > CHINA NEEDS [not less than] THREE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, SAYS PLA GENERAL, to counter the THREE EA. that both INDIA + JAPAN are anticipated to have in 2014.

IIUC, IOW China + PLAN may actually need minima 6-8, since a possib "worse-case" scenario for PLA MilPLanners would be China waging a major mil conflict agz BOTH INDIA + JAPAN IN TWO-FRONT WAR, EXCLUD THE US???

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > JAPAN REPORTS CHINA SHIP NEAR DISPUTED ISLANDS [Japan Senkakus = Chin Daoyus].

The mighty BEIDOU marine research-survey vessel strikes again - install a few modern weapons + she could be as feared as the BISMARCK.

SINK THE BEIDOU, SINK THE BEIDOU ...

* SAME > SINOPHOBIA ON THE RISE IN THE PHILIPPINES: PRESIDENT AQUINO SAYS PHILIPPINES WILL NOT BE "BULLIED" BY LARGER NATIONS.

Read, CHINA.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN TO INCREASE ECON ASSISTANCE TO SRI LANKA; + FOUR NATIONS VIE FOR RIGHTS IN SRI LANKA.

#9 Chinese-made airplanes with Chinese-made replacement parts? Are they more trustworthy than Chinese baby milk powder, Chinese toothpaste, etc.?

#11 second these "shoddy made aircraft of the USSR" were doing a fair job of killing your guys in nam. They have caught up since then (i.e. my comment since then 'US debt crisis') and are now overtaking you. Those migs owed you guys in comparison to number of population to plane to death ratio. Russia is poor as fuck though, aparently a threat, but i doubt. China is number one, but they're not that threatening given all there monetary superiority.
