Man, they are building their military as fast as possible. I hope they grow old before they get it right.



In other news, Iran responded with video of their newly developed gunship:

So Ernest Borgnine defected, hmmm? I always knew there was something fishy about that guy.

That may actually be good news. What better justification for our own defense spending than a China rapidly building a modern military force?

the only problem is that US dollars are paying for both.

I hardly think this is the right time to get in a tizzy about China developing a 'gunship'. That thing is just a Dauphin-clone with a couple of rocket pods - a multi-role helo with attack capability at best. What about their actual dedicated gunship, the CAIC WZ-10?

And for a country with the size and population of China, it'd be weird if they DIDN'T start developing their own military hardware in-house... and a lot of it.

First Chinese Stealth Fighter next a carrier and now a new helicopter.
And all payed with our money!
I suggest to buy more chinese products so we can see more of new chinese militaries stuff coming in the future

Gee, an armed Dauphin II clone. Not impressed.

This is not a gunship. It's a ship with guns. This reporter needs to read more or exaggerate less.

I wonder if he is working for Iran now? LOL!

I can only mirror what has already been said, so they stuck some missiles on a Dauphine? Big deal, now they are on par with the German army in the late 70's with their armed BO-105's.

I don't think they are even there with the big Daupine (agility). See here: BO-105 Lowlevel
