The most dedicted su 57 hater on Twitter is a Chinese guy. He has RupprectDino on alerts so that anytime something gets posted about the su 57, he jumps in and bashes it with disinfo nonsense. His whole freaking Twitter existence is dedicated to bashing the su 57 and Russia.
Might be a paid troll... it could be how he earns his living...
Besides why should we care if he does not like the Su-57... you can't really control what you do or do not like...
The comment about high strength glass is hilarious... if the US and Europe are so advanced in canopy technology how does he explain videos of Mi-28N canopy glass being shot from a distance of less than 5 metres with a 14.5mm HMG in tests... you could no longer see through the glass but the inside of the glass was smooth with no cracks... in comparison with the Apache attack helicopters canopy which can be penetrated by standard AK rounds fired from the ground... so more than 5m and a 7.62x39mm round... note in both cases I am talking about side canopy transparencies...
The Soviets made an aircraft completely out of glass during WWII... it was highly effective to start out with but normal stress of flight created cracks which ruined the effect...
What is wrong with these people ? What is it about the su 57 that gets this reaction ? I guess Russia is the benchmark that everyone compares themselves to. And in order to pump their own tires, they have to bash Russia.
The Su-57 is essentially a plane designed to beat the F-22 and F-35 and they are making it for about the price their Su-35s cost to make... of course he is butt hurt...
Amusing regarding his circle games he does not mention that the IRST he circled can be used without giving away the aircrafts location to the enemy... sure the f-22 is supposed to have a low probability intercept mode, but that does not work against wide band ground based radar like NEBO which scans in rather more frequencies than any aircraft fitted radar could manage, so in listening mode it will pick up signals across a wide range of frequencies from one point target which immediately suggest it is a fighter plane...
And the comment about the Al-31 is amusing... they have plenty of experience with that engine that has been in service for 40 years... if the damn thing had problems what fucking idiot would design and build a single engined fighter that used that engine... it was designed from the outset for twin engined aircraft so if one engine did fail it could make it home and have that engine replaced.
Are the Chinese so fucking stupid that they put an unreliable engine in a single engined fighter where an engine failure would result in the loss of the aircraft.
I don't think they are, which suggests his issues with the engine are nonsense...
yep. I'm sure there are pics out there of highly sensitive military aircraft engine parts from both sides for you to compare . Russia really should just halt engines sales to china which would ground it's air force. Funny how so much of China's sovereignty is riding on Russian engines. Without an air force , China would have already accepted concessions on Hong Kong. And also Taiwan. Maybe the Americans are right. At least for some Chinese , there is an American pretender underneath just begging to break out.
Don't confuse China with dicks on the internet. Chinas international behaviour is nothing like the US, and while they are not perfect, and will use power to get better outcomes like anyone else would, they don't seem to be the nazis the west have become.... they are not going to screw you and then demand you say you liked it...
This love for America. Strange. It's not fair to accuse them all of it of course. There is a Putin and Russia fan base in China. I think it's mainly English fluent China that has a case of su 57 derangment syndrome and Anglophilia.
Pretend to be English and ask him when the next shipment of opium are going to get there via the British silk road...
Zivo was responding to that jackass on Twitter and had him drawn-and-quartered on this subject. clown If we saw him and or Tai double chen in real life they'd probably explain their Down syndrome eyes as a 'East Asian' facial feature lol!
My auntie Jan has downs syndrome... I don't appreciate that joke.
China seems to be on a love relationship with Russia. At same time, you will find people who feel their nations image is at risk knowing they rely heavily on Russian tech and engines for their military.
Just look at the US at the moment to see what polarising does to a population... thinking Putin is perfect is just as dangerous as thinking he is the root of all evil, but I must say and am more rest assured when I hear he is the devil than when countries like France and Germany etc start talking about cooperation... because you know it wont be for Russias benefit.
I had no idea that the China stronkists were taking the order as an insult to their indigenous aircraft industry. They were even denying the order 'till he very end. When pics of the jets landing in China came out , some of them were claiming that the pics were photoshopped.
Well that is the point... within any group you will find factions, and of course there are going to be Chinese people who wonder why they shame themselves by importing foreign crap when they can make everything themselves... the problem is that a fighter aircraft... even a fourth generation one contains tens of thousands of different technologies... all of which are sophisticated and complex but contribute to the performance of the aircraft.
New bearing technology... new electric actuators to replace heavy hydraulic ones, all sorts of new materials and designs and that is not all... knowing how something works and what it is made of means nothing if you can't make it yourself.
We found with Frances offer to Russia that despite all its technology and ego its amazing engines require titanium components made in the US... and they were offering if Russia continued to buy French engines for various uses that they would then buy those complex titanium parts from Russia instead... not just for the engines they sell to Russia but all the engines they make...
Quite an attractive offer but the benefits of their own engine family that is scalable to any size is just more attractive than using French engines that might be cut off through indirect US sanctions at any time.
I understand what they mean... there is plenty of turning their noses up at Russian stuff too in the west... Russian thermal imagers are french... well much of the technology they were developed from was French but they also bought thermal imagers from Sweden and South Africa and they are using this technology they bought to further their own technology, and now they are looking at digital night vision which should be an impressive step forward for the military too... such technology is already produced in China because that is where US makers produce their systems... so rip off models based directly on the US originals will likely become available soon enough too.
Just imagine how flustered these fanboys will get if China orders some su 57E's. Again. Why wouldn't they ? It's just money. All the hard work is done. Just imagine how strong and capable the Chinese airforce would look with squads of J-20's and su 57's side by side. While India has no 5th gen jets. Regardless what you think of the J-20, it's rather intimidating to look at.
So I think these fanboys should just relax. And China should order some su 57E's.
Sometimes fanboys grow up, sometimes they don't, and have to learn to live with stomach ulcers...
The growth of China has been fantastic, but it was no surprise... ironically it is the ideal partnership of the west with technology and designs but with a highly educated workforce with rights and unions that make any products they do make unaffordable for the average western consumer.
A communist country can get things done... they are experts at red tape but equally with the right funding and the correct flow of money red tape can be cut very easily. A communist country has good education and a large workforce that will work for minimum wage without knowing what a western worker would demand. More importantly with no unions (get the irony there do you... in the west unions are akin to communism but they don't exist in the communist countries the west makes it shit in)... so you can work people as hard as you like. In the west they talk about productivity, but in China having three shifts of 8 hours means that factory that western company built can run 24/7, so productivity doesn't come in to it... they will be as skilled as anyone in the west after the first week and they will work hard for the money they get paid. A western worker would be a fool to work that hard for minimum wage... you want hard work... well pay for it or STFU.
I have mentioned before China is not the first poor country the west has used as a sweat shop to make cheap shit... they did it in Japan just after the war... but Japan took that investment and went for the luxury market and high skill market... optics and cars and all sorts of things and to start off with their cars were rubbish, but pretty soon they were more reliable and cheaper than european cars, and their motors were fantastic... If you buy a telescopic sight in the west if the optics are not made in Japan or Germany then they were no good.
