True. The design of this latest UAV is unlike anything the US has fielded or under testing. It's a revolutionary wing design and favorably shows the technical skills of the Chinese. If you ask me, it only adds to the uncertainty that the Chinese is fostering accross the region. What else coulde they be hiding under their vast but tightly controlled territory? Are their game changing toys that could seriously upset the current balamnce of power? That in turn might give the Chinese generals that little bit of extra confidence just enough to hudge them to attack Taiwan...
Seriously, Its a Drone and we expected this..^^^^
Taiwan seems like a done deal to me. Just look at NATO and Libya and how ineffective they are. A quick 2,000 point drop in the DOW will convince the powers that be in the US to stay out of an unnecessary war with China over an insignificant island. And I say this as a US/Taiwan dual citizen.
Chinese military strategy seems to be centered around very careful study all US military engagements and see how the US uses technology and then to try to buy, borrow, steal or develop it locally as fast as possible.
When the Chinese saw how the USAF and USN, and US land based assets were all networked in Bosnia - they jumped on networking their military assests. The they jumped on stealth aircraft after seeing the F-22.
Now after hearing from the Pakistani brothers how effective US drone strikes are in Pak....they are trying to match the US in drone technology.
I guess it makes perfect sense - watch the leader and learn.
During 50s and 60s China gain lots of tech and learn abt western doctrine..
Since 90s they implemented these Ideas to perfection and results are impressive..
They know what is good and bad and took it from both sides, Right now they are wanna be..
One in particular is Ballistic anti-ship Missile is pure Chinese Idea, Though their are Naval BMD system are there on east also in west..
As i said before, China is practically trying to keep up with US..The biggest worry about using ballistic missiles as anti-ship weapons has always been the danger that the lunch of these missiles might be mistakenly construed as a nuclear ballistic missile lunch and the other side my retaliate in kind triggering a catasthrophic nuclear war. This is because the trajectory of ballistic missiles are peculiar to such weapons. I don't know if the Chinese anti-ship ballsitic missiles suffer from the same danger, if so, can the US use this as a threat to retaliate by means of nuclear strikes if they detect a Chinese ballistic missile lunch against any of its Task Force, if only to stifle to operational application of this novel Chinese weapons system?

The sort of miscalculation that might just bring us to that dreaded scenario we did not experience during the last Cold War...Too bad real life doesn't work that way. If you're the POTUS, life is good. You've got a 747 for a private jet, fleet of cars, great chefs, kids in private school. Why would start a nuclear war with China over a sunken aircraft carrier and live in a bunker for the rest of your life. You don't.
That's not how realpolitik works. The elites on both sides just have too much to lose. The Chinese official wants to keep his 3 mistresses and the American guy wants to summer on Martha's Vineyard. Worst thing that will happen is the US will sink a Chinese carrier and they will agree beforehand to call it even. Then both sides will back off, while the clueless masses in both countries are still screaming for war.The sort of miscalculation that might just bring us to that dreaded scenario we did not experience during the last Cold War...
Drone is just the smallest part of the whole idea of UCAV or UAV, it is the network. America is light years ahead.Seriously, Its a Drone and we expected this..
Global hawk or UACV like predator were long projected by Chinese..
But this doesn't change anything yet..
China don't want to attack Taiwan at all..
I a meant we knew abt it long time ago, And this development is no surprise..Drone is just the smallest part of the whole idea of UCAV or UAV, it is the network. America is light years ahead.
America isnt going to loose its Martha's wineyard in a long shot, if anything it is an over -exggeration by the Chinese themselves of their nuclear capability. USA is a country which was configured to go MAD with USSR and survive, Chinese with their 500 nukes, even send 5 nukes USA's way ( which will be taken care by their BMD's), China will cease to exist. You are talking about the USA, Nukes will fly from all over the world, heck they might be already in place in China under Hu Jinato's bed's and inside Mao's disgusted coffin. Lil Chicoms trying to big boy's of the world with some old soviet tech.

Here comes the clueless masses...
do you have any idea about nuclear winter? i highly doubt average indians would stand a chance to survive if china is completely destroyed.Offtopic ..
He is not clueless..
You are.. !
They care abt their soldiers not like Chinese..
If war occur US will put JDAM on your heads, will strip u down completely Naked ! TAKE my Words for It !!
They don't have any care for your kind, They will wipe you out, Now thats conventional or Nuking..
Dont bother to reply..
Actually nothing stands without protection from Nuclear fall out, Nuke winter comes at very last..do you have any idea about nuclear winter? i highly doubt average indians would stand a chance to survive if china is completely destroyed.
