Is that why F-35 crash every other week?
Remind me, why's NASA using Soviet rocket engines?
Questionable, but aight
Germany would like a word
no need to use those arguments, qwest admits chinese lead: https://www.aspi.org.au/report/critical-technology-tracker
I'm tired of the myth of USian technological supremacy. You have no idea how much. Especially given how much of it is due to looting and desecrating USSR's still warm corpse
It's hard to argue that Boeing is churning out less efficient planes than Comac, that Comac is using the CFM LEAP, that the manufacturing of those engines uses technologies that no one else has mastered, and that the US approves the most new drugs by far.
These are essential not only for military applications but for logistical ones.
Sanctions really are the biggest own goal.
It would be the LEAP not the PD-14 in the MC-21, if not for sanctions. In normal conditions, it's a winner takes all market no matter how tiny the difference is every cent counts to carriers. Only the single most efficient engine available would've made sense and it turns out sanctions did just that.
The sanctions are the largest boon to Chinese semi tool companies; they were snubbed by big name Chinese tech beforehand. Now, fear and uncertainty of supply weighs down the western competition. ASML in China has been brought down to SMEE's level; next year, ASML can't sell anything more advanced than what SMEE can make.
SMIC would have the same issues as Global Foundries did with justifying the investment in 7nm. The few fabless companies in China that use leading edge processes are wedded to TSMC. If Huawei wasn't there as a guaranteed customer, SMIC wouldn't have been able to get their investment to pay off. Huawei didn't even consider domestic alternatives outside of what they themselves make before the sanctions. The Mi 10 Ultra, with a QCOM SoC, had more domestic parts than the Huawei equivalent.
Even advanced engines can't redeem the F-35 though, it's still slower than the JF-17.
Prove it. You have no links to back up your topics
Aw, what's the matter, little Yankee got his feefees hurt?
F-35 crashing example. Literally first link off Google
Russian rocket engines in NASA. I'll even use Wikifedia for your convenience!
Pharma by revenue, which is bloated with yanks.
Was that Soo hard to provide your proof?
I agree they probably should have linked it earlier, but it’s interesting you’re still going on about it instead of the actual content now that you have it
