Good day my friends. I am creating this thread in order to fill a little gap I am facing recently. There is a very nice thread on little-known American helicopters, where people share their findings on various designs. For roughly 10 to 15 years, maybe 20, the situation in China regarding...

Award for National University of Defense Technology for their contribution in achieving stable transient combustion of scramjet engine during change (speed, altitude, direction,) in flight conditions. 3 years ago, ground test China’s hypersonic cruise missile sees technological breakthrough...

How about a thread on the J-12 ? I noticed that there was none ! It is a jet that I like and I will try to collect in this thread some interesting things about it.

In 1990 Racal Marine teamed up with the China Shipbuilding Trading Company to offer a modernised Type 037 Hainan-class hull as a corvette with Racal radars (obviously!), European guns and A/S torpedoes and Chinese C-801 SSMs. There were no takers.

I was pretty amazed when I first read this story that this was occurring. https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/oct/18/raf-pilots-chinese-military-law-change-james-heappey

The whole story started with a picture posted in 2017 on social media that shows a new military drone that China has built. The unnamed device, which is said to be a torpedo bomber, is capable of skimming the surface of the sea and conducting "deadly attacks" against warships, says a post on...

The story began in 1969 in the Sino-Soviet border conflict，Chinese captured a T-62，At that time, all their anti-tank weapons were unable to effectively destroy the T62. So Armor troops think they need a new second-generation tank，call “122”（The Type 69 "121 that was being developed at the time...
