US F/A-XX and F-X & NGAD - 6th Gen Aircraft News Thread

Nah, China_irl is tame compared to these guys. These guys are infamous Chinese mil-fans on Twitter and are outright 支黑s, aka Shina haters (not just China, but Shina) but the hatred and self-loathing is so deeply rooted and on another level.

Anyway we should drop this as I just wanted to make a remark to Rick.

Rick knows better to deal with those people.

The way those people think is so horrifying it's practically indistinguishable from organ-eating fetishism—I can scarcely call them “human beings.”

Ngl, I feel like I'm the only one not into this whole sixth-gen progress d*ck measuring contest (it's everywhere, on both sides, in both countries). I wish more people would defer to Rick's comments, in that we simply can't be definitive right now and that certainty will only come retrospectively. At the end of the day, what matters is whether China can achieve its strategic goals, and sixth gen fighters are merely one piece of the puzzle.

Looking forward to Tyler's essay though.

Also on this note, a certain detestable individual (along with the awful group he associates with) has finally come after you @Blitzo . These guys are expert trolls, but unlike the NAFO bros, they actually know a fair bit about the PLA and how to perfectly spin a narrative in bad faith. I’d recommend keeping your distance (and anyone in their orbit), or if you do engage, tread with absolute calm.

Thanks, though I don't use twitter often enough to probably even notice them, I'm not even sure who they are.

Besides, I only post and read in English anyway.

My PLA and PRC watching philosophy is actually fairly straight forward (and applies to every situation, and every group, including here) -- it's advising people to just be more normal about them. If they chose to be weird about it, all of the caustic vitriol and trolling generally just doesn't matter because I just don't operate on that level to begin with.
