Post by: john vlna on November 25, 2012, 05:53:29 PM

an interesting video of the new chinese Shenyang J-15 carrier fighter, no doubt about a tailhook on this one.  http://news.yahoo.com/china-lands-fighter-jet-carrier-show-force-141821417.html

A Red Chinese aircraft carrier is NOT a good thing.  Somebody mentioned that it's Soviet via The Ukraine.

Somebody said "what no catapult?"

With the power-to-weight ratio of new jet engines they don't need no stinkin' catapult.

This could turn into another political thread........that said (typed), I agree that another communist world power is not in our best interest, by any means.

You are right. according to the article with the video they intend to use it to bully the surrounding contries. Will the current administration stand up to a new communist threat? I don't have a warm feeling

While I may or may not agree on the polotics of this happening I think we should move on and keep it in the realm of models.
