As far as transport and helicopters, Embraer manufactures a good lineup of cargo aircraft, so that's covered as long as they can find alternate sources for any foreign-sourced components like engines. Helicopters are solely foreign-sourced; with NATO attacking them that leaves the Russians.
Anyone wriing about dystopian future conflicts should immerse themselves in the vast amounts of paper and online material produced as background for these role playing games since the 1980s.

About the Russians...What else are the Japanese and Russians good at producing when talking about planes ? Besides jet engines?
Russia can build the whole spectrum of military aircraft from small drones to strategic bombers. They're somewhat behind the state of the art compared to the United States, but still generally competitive.
Japan's aviation industry is currently closer to Brazil's in terms of products offered - transports, trainers, MPAs, trainers, some helicopters. However, by 2040 I'd expect them to be closer to being able to produce the whole spectrum of military aircraft - they have a stealth fighter under development, after all.
Just dipping a toe in here.
My advice is to get copies of the roleplaying game Twilight 2000, and its supplement Merc 2000.
It shows how to make a believable setting where the Cold War went hot (or in the case of Merc 2000 - warm) in the near future. For the games it was near future, as it was published in the mid-80s, and extrapolated credible events in the 90s leading to nuclear war.
You might be able to get the setting info just off the web - but if not digital versions are available for good prices.
If you seeing TVTropes.org as an instruction guide for book writing, you are using it incorrectly. My opinion, but I do have a 1st class Honours degree in English.
So a bit of a recap :

On the off topic : first you guys talk about pollution, then China, then what's the best English
On the last one I can comment as an Humanities student and civilian :
- Barbados

An update :
I kinda mentally recovered from the news of my mother's cancer, she did her first session of chemo the 11th, the doctors are optimist and she was more worried/nervous/angry about her legal procedure with my father, who had claimed through his lawyer that she had lied in the past ( first time he actually made that affirmation ), that she had rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis BEFORE last year and she was making up her cancer.
The judge herself told him to shut the fuck up (in a legalese and formal way of speaking).
The good thing is it no longer like a year or two ago and she was a lucky one and they found it early and started chemo immediatly.
Returning to this thread main them :
- I apologize to anyone if I was arrogant or behaved like I spoiled brat , or anything remotely negative
- I did look into Jane's library and they do look much more legit than initially thought
- With that, I have seen their prices and it's out of my league
- Found some (apparently legit) books on the subjects of tanks and airplanes :

Ironically I think this book is "banned" in its English version because it looked like it disappeared as soon as the war started...it was available in English and now... well...ironically it's available in Polish. But maybe it's just my wild imagination.
What's your guys opinion on these products ?
I had a difficult time finding recent (2010-2021/2022) professional illustrated guides/manuals and more on Amazon and similars.
I am looking also for an illustrator.
Not for now because my priorities shifted heavily but maybe in the future.
This guy seems to fit the bill but I can't tell if he knows what he is doing :
