I find the use of Malyutka very questionable

China does still use HJ73s but they are after all like 800+ pen, although even slower.

what can i say, if it work,it will work,maybe they learn from the modern war that sometimes use laser is not gonna work,so they use the traditional way,beside this xcb01 have stab and thermal with extra armor so its fair

new reports of the Indonesian Navy trying to procure the ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi Aircraft Carrier, rumored to include the remaining AV-8B+s of the Italians (roughly 6/8 + possible spares of ITS(or maybe USMC))


Italian Navy’s Giuseppe Garibaldi

On the naval side we’re quite close to both Italy and France so honestly i can see this going through, but no disrespect to the harriers, personally i dont think its the wisest of decision considering its accident records has its own wikipedia entry as well as the age of both the ship and the airframe.

Additionally this decision is most likely the result (or perhaps part of) the Indonesian Navy’s Chief of Staff visit onboard the carrier in 2024

This is a very irresponsible statement. You can’t ask a group of non-native English speakers to come here and communicate and debate in a language they are unfamiliar with. Or to appear superior by mocking Chinese forum users.
In my opinion Tieba is more like the r/warthunder channel on Reddit - an informal community of gamers, where user sharing and comments don’t have a substantial impact on the game. But there’s no reason to think that the official forums are any more “superior” than that.
If the Chinese sub-forum here had more of a role, it would definitely have more users participating. But right now it seems to be more of a platform for translating game announcements.
