“An F-22 Killer? That’s a tall order.”
Sure, but it does it. Even RAND has stated so. It also does so at 1/3 the cost.
Quick story about the Chinese: A friend of mine on the forum is in the tooling industry. He went to look at a Chinese plant. He was flabbergasted. It was extremely modern, well organized, just amazing. He asked the plant guide, "How many of these plants do you have?" The guide answered, "About 750".
Remember, the Chinese have more than 5 times our population. If geniuses occur on a standard per-capita basis, they should have 5 times the number of our geniuses.
1/3 the cost
less corruption
but give ‘em time
LOL
