Seems there was some interesting news regarding the JF-17. Apparently one was shot down in Myanmar and what is even more interesting is the weapon with which it was shot down.



So, it seems after Chinese fighters and air-to-air missiles have become battle tested, Chinese MANPADS is now battle tested by shooting down a Chinese made fighter. An interestingly ironic situation.
Not JF-17, an FTC-2000

According to Semafor, U.S. military leaders and officials, including the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Gen. Michael Kurilla, have requested more resources to support and defend Israel against Iran. But their requests have drawn resistance from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, who has long opposed moving military assets from Asia to the Middle East, due to the threat posed by China.

EDIT: IGNORE, NOT ACCURATE.

So apparently this FN-6 launcher is meant for low flying targets.

I think this speaks more about the Myanmar Air Force than the JF-17 tbh. I swear, they keep flying these planes close and get shot down.

Last year's jet kill of the FN-6 was on the FTC-2000 as well.

The whole aliens conversation in here... The West loves going around telling everyone how superior they are because they want to put everyone in their place under them and be treated accordingly. So it contradicts what Alexandr Wang thinks happens in general borrowing from Three Body Problem. He in fact thinks like an Asian where many believe don't stick out like a sore thumb so no one will pay attention to you. It would be even more ironic if Alexandr Wang has Falun Gong sympathies where they think aliens are sabotaging humanity by secretly introducing science.

Because South Korea and Japan are under US nuclear umbrella
Push comes to shove, the US will never in a million years trade LA or DC or NY or anywhere in CONUS (maybe Alaska or Hawaii, if they had a choice) on behalf of “revenge” for Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka getting glassed. Even of it means a severe reduction in global prestige and reputation. The Japanese are their pets, nothing more.
