Strange that the analysis that this will decrease f35 demand. I guess they think it'll switch to more ngad and less f35?
- They're saying that the military might shift focus to development of 6th gen fighters to catch up with China.
  
  But Lockheed is a front runner for that too.
  
  It's in reference to international sales, I believe.
  
  Why would they be impacted? What's their competition?
  
  Not sure the specifics, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were countries interested in a next generation fighter jet, and is capable of buying from either the US or China.
  
  I'm sure it'll be just as successful at sucking up billions in taxes with nothing to show for it.
  
  Producing literally hundreds of a single type of airplane with orders for the next decade or so isn't exactly "nothing to show for".
  And even if you discount the actual sales, getting billions in development budget from the US government is pretty good for business.
  
  I mean yeah, the purpose of these companies is to put taxes back into the pockets of billionaires instead of spending them on stuff they're meant for like infrastructure, healthcare, education, and so on. That's why majority Americans live like dogs.
  
  Opposed to the Chinese corporations which are famously basically charity organizations?
  What exactly is your point? Your moving goalposts to completely different planets.
  
  China doesn't use private sector for its military. Try to put a bit more work into your trolling.
  
  I disagree.

  CAC has been promoted to a state enterprise in 1990. Try harder.
  
  Looks like it's owned by Zhonghang Electronic Measuring Instruments, which is public? Or maybe they're owned by AVIC which is both public and private?
  
  It’s yogthos lol, can’t expect anything less my friend
  
  Hey quick question genius, is Chinese military industry state owned or private? 🤡
  
  Looks like both.
  
  It's pretty much all state owned, and in cases where private industry is used, it's tightly controlled including party members being embedded within the companies. In fact, the role of private industry in China has been declining overall https://www.piie.com/research/piie-charts/2024/chinas-private-sector-has-lost-ground-state-sector-has-gained-share-among
  
  Have you seen their performance in Iran recently? They seem really good air to ground.
  
  You mean when Israel aborted the bulk of their attack because they got painted by radar?
  
  No, I mean the one that took down nearly the entirety of Irans air defenses with less than 100 weapons.

  send me a dm cause I have a bridge to sell you 😂
  
  What's your source that it was totally ineffective? Iran?
  
  There is zero evidence of any damage done to Iran. There is no satellite footage, no videos of the explosions. There is nothing. When Iran attacked Israeli base we had actual hard evidence of what the results were. One has to be an incredibly credulous rube to believe that Israel and Yankeestan were able to attack Iran when they're unable to provide any evidence of that. You're such a great illustration how effective propaganda can be on people who are incapable of critical thinking.

  You think Iran would release videos of that?
  I have a UK generals quotes. Not as good as video, but better than nothing. I think you have just Irans public stance? With that I'd say mine has more evidence.
  
  F35 is guaranteed to be better than a "6th generation" Chinese plane and they can be upgraded anyway. And it's actually very successful now with a very cheap per plane cost.
  
  LMFAO
  
  I recently upgraded my stone axe with some flint. Those guys with bronze are doomed.
