Chicom Drones

Reason #4,305 not to slash defense spending. 
China's Military Showing Off Drones That Target U.S. Aircraft Carriers in Demonstration Videos



Doug Ross's linked WSJ story further states:
It is of particular concern to the U.S. and Israel, whose drones are unrivalled in the world today, and could worry China's neighbors, many of which have territorial disputes with China in the East and South China seas.

[Military and aviation experts] suggested, too, that China had been helped by Israel, which sold China antiradar drones in the 1990s—to the fury of the Pentagon, which has since blocked the Israelis from providing upgrades.

And could easily have, and prolly should have mentioned  How Clinton sold the US out to China's military.

Yes, but the Red Chinese are such reliable democrat financial contributors. Surely they cannot be that bad, am I right?

If it is true that the Israelis provided important information to the Chinese that they could not have obtained elsewhere, I want to know it.
Now, presuming it's true, if their price for knocking that BS off is our cutting off aid to Egypt & the Palestinians, well, I'm willing to pay that price.

Just like all of Saddam's air-defense network's printers and network cards that had Pentagon back-doors in them that copied everything to Langley, how much of that Israeli and German stuff going to China do you suspect had extra hidden code in them....

What's the Chinese term for "Divine Wind?"

Typhoon. It's originally a Chinese word that the Japanese took into their language.

Lets face it, China's entire space combat realm was a gift from Israel. Oye Veh, what the hell were they thinking? Search Aviation Week and Space Technology for tons of evidence of this.

pdwalker,
I meant the equivalent of Kamikaze.

Ah, then then word is "神風" which is identical in meaning and in written form

The only differences between the Japanese and Traditional Chinese form are the pronunciation and the, shall we say, unique additional meaning the Japanese have assigned the word through their use of it in WWII
