At least the Typhoon were built and were combat-capable. The Constellation Class program is just a jobs-program and a pork barrelling scheme at this point.

Just taking a look at the article title:



Wait, I thought you guys already have the Freedom and Independence-class LCS? Your shipyards are only building them just to keep your shipyard workers busy and paid lmfao...

On the other hand - Perhaps your ideal "small surface combatants" are just right across the lake?

Maybe Trump should just pick up the phone and call a certain some guy at Zhongnanhai.

054A with American Characteristics?

Very Trump-esque: if a problem can't be solved, postpone it so people forget about it.

My biggest worry is that the americans continued dithering over the FA-XX will slow down a PLANAF 6th gen fighter, which would be a real pity. I just hope PLANAF will do same as PLAAF and go full speed ahead with a carrier 6th gen fighter (J-50 variant or not), so it flies and is fielded before the americans.
