Serbia must be fearing attack. Wondered by whom? NATO wouldn't need to attack. Serbia is a tiny land locked nation surrounded by NATO. If Serbia was considered an enemy wouldn't NATO or the EU just close airspace to flights of certain nations and nobody could get to Serbia? They could block fuel and all land based shipments too. A siege is easier than fighting.

The sale will help further shift public perception that Chinese are the enemy. Too bad Chinese were so foolish. Chinese are not the real enemy.

Many Y-20s at Tesla Airport in Serbia!

Y-20s have been in Africa, the Middle East, the South Pacific and now Europe in the past several months.

This plane has given the PLAAF a global reach.

Also, the plane itself had rapidly evolved with new additions and changes. Here, four of the planes are in low visibility marking indicative of later production models. There are already tanker versions and WS-20 equipped variants. AWACS, engine-testing platforms, civilian cargo and other variants are being planned!

Chinese getting serious about fishing. Has frigate escort fishing fleet in Gulf of Aden.


Perhaps Chinese are saying, "Since nations and people believe possession of a thing equates to ownership then we'll just take the fish and the fish are ours."

First pictures of CV16 Liaoning operating in the snow and launching and recovering at night!

Training and experience has come very far since commissioning in 2012.

CV-17 Shandong is five years old already!

After a heavy cadence of work, including sailing through the Taiwan Strait multiple times to the South China Sea!, CV-17 is now in Dalian for its first maintenance refit. The flight deck is already set for a new layer.
