[QUOTE]Originally posted by DT: [QB] I hate to break everyone's ethnocentric views, but China is far more concerned with India than they are with the US. That's why they ordered the Su-27. That's why India ordered the T-90. But China's procurement of those planes (or rather, their attempted procurement) doesn't bother the rational thinking man. They'd need to put all of those into air wings, which is not likely, as India will buy the same weapons from Russia. Now, unless India is going to join NATO, that's not a threat to America. Moreover, the F-22 is still a marginally superior plane, produced in higher quantities, and with better crews. The key to everything I said there is "better crews." Anyone remember when that F-14 shot down a MiG-29 over Serbia? If we went straight on planes, that American motherfucker would've been dead (as he deserved for violating Serbian sovereignty). But he wasn't. Because a better trained pilot can beat the better plane. I reccomend you go back and read the tactical theories formulated by the German aces of WWI. They've held true for 80 years. China's pilots get less air time than, say, German pilots. BTW, I was just perusing the DoD. Who do you think they said is more likely to be a peer? Russia or China? [/QB][/QUOTE]
