Rahul, thanks. It seems to bear out my belief that the PRC is unnaturally obsessed with Taiwan. Just check out Chengdu vs Nanjing and Guangzhao! They are dime a dozen with HAS, actual revetments/shelters, while Chengdu is scraping by with airfields without proper infrastructure. Also, I doubt whethe...

Gents, a different Tx/Rx module is probably used for the L Band LRTR and another derivative of the L Band one for the S Band MFCR. The newer ones could be based on the original one though. CABS module is a new one, and different from the above S Band one as well. Someone write them and inform them o...

Very nice video comparison of a Chinese Type 96/99 with a Japanese Type 90 MBT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S-tARDgbt0 Check out how the gun tube of the Chinese tube rocks while it is maneuvering in contrast to the Japanese tanks rock steady gun tube. Superior stabilization and better suspension!

Then is the Pioneer report crap? If the GP is not required for our PAD? Yeah, its pretty much trash in some ways.

Well it says the antenna is supplied by Elta. So thats the front end. And like I said, thats probably because Elta took one look at the MMR and timeframe and took the easy way out (with due reason). And if we look above, it also talks of handing over the MMR antenna documentation for production to t...
