If the US eventually develops a working hypersonic weapon we should all make the NATO fanboys mad by calling it a cheap copy of a Chinese design.
Eh, they'll just deny it. Same as they do with Yak-141, Mir-2 and everything else stolen from USSR
Yes, but it'll be extremely funny. Like how Royal Navy fans used to make fun of Admiral Kuznestov for being a skiramp carrier then had to pivot hard when the QE class was announced. They'll go in denial but you can smell the angry cope.
Have you convinced yourself brit navy fans were making fun of ski ramps?
They started using them before the Russians did (and continue to do so today)
So maybe you got things a little mixed up and it were the russian navy fans who were making fun of ski ramps and had to go full copioco when the Kuznetzov was announced?
It's ok to edit your post
I doubt "cope slope" has the same ring in Russian as it does in English. Also, I wasn't even alive when Kuznestov was laid down and there sure as shit weren't many Soviet citizens shitposting on Reddit in 1982 when Kuznestov was laid down.
QEs were announced in 2001 to be "designed for CATOBAR", then in 2010 it was announced that POW would be build as a CATOBAR ship and QE would be retrofitted with CATOBAR. In 2012 the government backtracked due to hideous cost overruns (lmao) but 2 years is plenty of time for insufferable RN jerkoffs to have done embarrassing victory laps they wish they could take back.
Lol.
Victory laps after they'd been sailing their Champ Ramps for decades? You must only know some Shit Brits!
Back in the real world everybody loves the ramps. Kuznetzov is only a laughing stock because it's being towed or repaired more than half the time
Have a nice jellied eel pie and enjoy watching one of your brand new carriers getting stripped for parts to fix your other brand new carriers. At least Kuznestov has the excuse of being a 40 year old ship. What's QE's excuse? Britain's doesn't have any competent ship builders left?
Starting to sound like you're the only one who can't copess wit the slopess
I don't think it will be cheap.
