Spain doesn't have a standing in aerospace against Germany, France or UK or Asian states in most aspects. It's a manufacturer, not a major R&D base building new fighter designs. Obviously, it's developed country with high per person output in tech sector like most former colonial powers (even though Spain and Portugal are weakest among them). But yet, overall technological, economic and military output is midget which won't prolong as Spanish economy has been nosediving and unrests are rising. Spain is indeed an underdog in European and global politics.

We don't see Spain testing and deploying giant strategic weapons, testing nukes, sending rockets in space, planets or building space stations or bullying around anyone with its military might or economic prowess. Spain's era is just no more.
that is not accurate, technology is not about pride, but about practicality see

Yes, i think it's pretty accurate, now it's a peaceful nation with nothing happens there.
When i was in Nordic nations, i only see agriculture products from Spain. In 2020, the S.Korea officiallky surpassed Spain on per GDP.
quiet ignorant statement, Spain can build aircraft carriers and your ignorance is ample

  • The Talium system facilitates the planning of complex missions involving numerous and diverse aircraft. It increases the efficiency, speed, coordination and security of deployments
  • It processes tactical and logistical data and autonomously assesses the feasibility of the operation. 3D mapping and virtual reality enable it to visualize the mission before carrying it out
  • Talium and TDMS, its airborne version, are ready to operate in a “combat cloud” environment, supporting effective real-time decision-making to intervene in highly-digitized and asymmetric scenarios and respond to advanced adversaries
Indra unveils its state-of-the-art mission system for next generation aircrafts

Indra is one of the technology companies at the helm of the digitization of defence. The company has just unveiled one of the most advanced tactical mission systems on the market, specially designed to support next-generation aircraft that will operate in highly digitized scenarios against technologically advanced adversaries.
The solution allows commanders to plan and conduct complex operations with impressive accuracy, coordinating the involvement of multiple aircraft, each with its different characteristics and capabilities. It’s a next-generation system that drastically reduces mission complexity in the digital domain and it’s ready to operate in a “combat cloud” environment, facilitating effective decision-making in a streamlined manner.

Where is Indra from?

Spain was a very bad colonial power. Spanish were too insular from and too exploitative of its colonies. They did not even educate much their colonies.
the Philipines were some of their colonies not the only one your experience is much different to the ones in America.

I think they're mostly the same. The Spanish only were only kinder to mestizos while natives were left out.
I will first say me and you if we were in the Spanish Colonies were ruled under the same district, in Fact from Mexico city the Philipines were managed.

However to understand our present, you have to understand what we have in common.

We have catholism as the main cultural trait, however Mexico is much closer to Europe, so there was more immigration from Europe to the Americas during the colony.

If you go to Cuba you will see at least 40% of people are of Spanish origin and another 45% mulatos.

You do not have the same amount of Spanish immigrants.

Further more you adopted English, we continue with Spanish.

Why we are not so developed, it will depend Chile Argentina or Uruguay are very developed nations comparable to some Easter European nations, while el Salvador, Honduras or nicaragua are really poor.

Why? it has more to do with with the size of the populations. since the biggest Latin American nations are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.

relax Chinese you think China is the USA, reality Check China barely has the standards of living of Colombia.

Argentina, Uruguay, Chile have standards of living much Higher than China, Mexico and Brazil slightly higher than China, so the main Latin American population lives slightly better than China.

Spain is an economy very developed in fact is the 20th best contry to live in the world, most Chinese and hypocrites like you immigrated from rural or empoverished China to the west.

Spain has a small population, thus its economy is not the largest as macro-economy, Spain has 44 million people less than France, Germany or England, so when you see it its economy is roughly the size of South Korea, but it has much less people.

Spanish only wanted "Catholics" and lands. They did not educate their colonies and are the worst in setting up governments.

that is not true and tell me where was the first university set in the Americas? yes in Mexico city, Spain did educated the people, however Spain came late to the industrial revolution, so the education lagged with respect England, we as colonies, were restricted to get immigrants from England.

Spain is the 13th economy in the world and 20th in HDI, Canada is the 10th nation so basically is not G7.

Now you are mixing things, Spain has 46 million people, China has 1400 million people got it?

multiply the per capita GDP by the population and you get China has an economy around 10 bigger than Spain, but you forget an average Chinese has the living standard of a Colombian.


Most Chinese are as poor as Colombians I know you get great pride to have nuclear weapons or J-20, but Sorry Brazil has Embraer and Argentina or Brazil can make nukes, but that is not progress.

Progress is freedom and good standards of livins something china has not
