When 2 smilies appear in one post, I can see where ur going and why it's hard to make u understand.
U may not know foreign students form a big part of US universities' labs.
As I said many times, it's just the difference in the degree of dependence.
Yeah, but not that much. At my University it was something like 5% was foreign. I think currently it's at 10%. So I wouldn't call it that much. But still, the USA does indeed benefit from draining brains and talent from other countries. And yeah, it is a degree of dependance. The fact is, the USA is not dependant on anybody to field newer technologies. You may want to research who builds the F-22, including it's processors, it's avionics, and where the research was done (its RCS facility). also look into where the LCS is being done, and who's involved. You may want to go see how and where the Virginia was made. and who was involved. Japan was nowhere to be seen.
That's ok. U did not produce any proof to say PLA copied some tech as well.
That's because the proof is ubiquitous. Schumacher, you are one funny guy. Almost every piece of technology on China's new 052C is based on currently fielded technology. The HQ-9 being derived from Russian SA-10.
And I'm not going to bother typing anymore, because I can just see you're playing games. You're free to believe as you wish, but I think even PLAN officials would agree with my assessments in the interests of their own honest evaluations of their overall capabilities.
I respect China's newer ships. They are indeed a step above the last generation of ship design. China's making excellent gains. That's not in question. But it's hard not to notice that the systems onboard are based on currently fielded technology. And there's nothing wrong with that. Other nations are taking the same approach as this. But again, you can't make an assessment that this will catch China up to the top standard in 5 years.
Well the Russians are too poor right now to acquire anything new thats military built by anyone. They haven't even been building anything for themselves.
The Chinese are trying to learn and understand the Russian tech in order to improve their own military technology, and to gain an understanding of how to effectively use such high tech hardware and provide training to also serve as just a temprorary stopgap measure in fields in which the Chinese are still lagging far behind in, like large surface combatants, submarines, and heavy long-range stike jets. Within 5-10 years China will no longer seek weapon procurements from Russia, and maybe we'll even see Chinese hardware in the Rusisan military
An honest man has arrived. Yep, I agree with your post. With the exception of the first part. Russia is indeed doing R & D into it's next generation of naval combatants. They are building a new SSBN (Borei), and the new SSK (Lada/Amur). They are also fielding newer ASM's in the form of ONYX. Not to mention that the Russian defense ministry has announced a couple of months back that they will be designing a newer Frigate. Russia is certainly sustaining themselves.

This may ultimately be the case. China is making gains in every field of military development. And I've been saying that throughout this thread. China has placed itself in a respectable category. But they are not truly self-sustaining yet. Perhaps Russia's military will stagnate and they may be purchasing some Chinese hardware. But right now, as you've said, it's not currently the case.
P.S. Sorry for the multiple posts mods. For some reason, the edit function doesn't work.
