Critics often think Michael Bay doesn't give a damn about characters, but how can you believe that when everything in the film is shut deliberately to be from a perspective of a character? Michael Bay is Lars Von Trier of action. Lars uses strange chaotic camera work and weird editing choices to elevate the emotion on screen and Michael...

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •I like your metaphor, horse and buggies lol
Again I still disagree with you. If we extend the metaphor, let's say 6th gen is a model T car from the 1900s.
The US has Next Generation Air Defense (NGAD) motorcar in development to replace the "horse and buggy" F-22 as a dedicated air supremacy buggy. We also have the B-21 Raider (more like a whole ass truck in this metaphor) rolling out now which is a bomber that's more advanced than either the F-35 "buggy" or the flying triangle "motorcar" that china has a prototype of and which nobody knows anything about performance-wise other than that it's triangular and can fly.
Also the one model of horse and buggy china has is still inferior to the far older F-22 that the US has had since the 1990s.
Something tells me that China isn't going to outpace the US in either production numbers or technical capabilities of aircraft.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Actually I take it back I don't like your metaphor.
It would be accurate if the industrial and technical requirements between 5th and 6th gen aircraft were as different as that of a horse and buggy, but fundamentally that's not the case.
Both call for stealth technology, advanced integrated avionics, high performance gas turbines, composite material and titanium structures to meet strength/weight requirements, and advanced radar/sensors, all combined in a package that is both reliable and can be manufactured em mass.
The US has been demonstrating those capabilities for 30 years. China has obtained some of them (still lags in engine, avionics capabilities, and radar) and has only been able to manufacture aircraft with them at a fraction of the scale.
The Chinese aircraft industry is suddenly going to leapfrog the US on all of those features AND manufacture them on a great scale?
I doubt that.

in reply to salamandermander • • •The only thing the US has been demonstrating for the past 30 years is that the jets they make are overpriced junk that's never actually been tested in combat against a peer competitor. The F35 in particular is an unmitigated disaster that's now cost US tax payers over a trillion dollars. What China is demonstrating is that they can build more advanced technology at a fraction of a cost, and do it before the US can. Also, imagine thinking that China would not be able to manufacture something at scale. 😂
You keep on coping though, it's adorable.

What am I saying? I am being delusional. They will just double down on Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism. And more Chinese people working in the West will leave back to their country.
