Third Chinese Airforce Plane Crash in a Row this Month
According to June 22nd issue of Ming-bao in Hong Kong, around noon, June 21st, an Chinese airforce plane crashed at Jin-jiang, Quan-zhou City, Fujian Province, killing its pilot.
The crash follows the crash of an KJ-2000 AWACS developed by China on June 3rd at Guang-de County, Anhui Province, killing 40 on board including engineers, and another of Jian-7E fighter plane on June 12th in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.
China has not revealed the type of the crashed plane or damages at the crash site.
Considering the recent crashes of the airforce planes (all) occurred in Nanjing Military District, which is confronting Taiwan, this reflects that the training volume of airforce planes in this area has gone up sharply, according to some observers.
Ping!
The Chinese Commies are learning Islamic warfare, wherein the soldier commits suicide.
The Mainstream Media have been quite helpful in communicating its effectiveness as a brilliant military strategy.
Apparently, it is a very efficient training regimen, as you only need do it once.
A winning plan to be sure, and I encourage them to step up their exercises.
Thanks MSM!
probably assembled from Harbor Freight crap
Maybe we have a renegade patrol aircraft, menacing the Chinese airforce.
Sounds to me like they need the training. Maybe about 300 more "training" missions and their air force should be just about right.
Must be a Warbird from Romulan Empire, with its cloaking activated.:)
Ow dale you insull the glate pleopuls lepublic of Chaai-nah?
C'mon TLR...you know perfectly well that Warbirds can't operate in atmosphere...
If they've adopted the islamic view, they must be expecting 72 billion virgins to be in heaven.
This is not a sharp rise. I am in that area of China at least once a quarter and within 4 miles of that base. Have been going there for the past 8 years.
They fly constantly 24/7/365. It almost seems there is a take off every 4-5 minutes.
It is a training base and because of the location to Taiwan it is their way of letting everyone know that they have a presence.
If this is a sharp rise in flying lemons, flying Chinese warplane should be called "Chinese Roulette" from now on.:)
I have that experience -- and you are absolutely right.
From what I understand, jets are kinda complicated. Keeping them up in the air takes some brain power. Especially when putting them in training cycles that require extensive maintenance.
So it's like Hugo Chavez and his really neat "jet fighters"... bwahahahaha.. without tech support, spare parts and know how these jets become really neat "static displays". ... or as I like to call them, "targets".
We had an F5F ceash last saturday morning. Haven't been able to find a darn thing about it, The ROCAF grounded all the rest of 'em.
In electronics at least, they dink out the most expensive part then test it again, if it doesn't run they put it back in, if it runs for five minutes they leave it out and dink out the next one...
oops dink = dike, dunno what I was thinking
Early morning there too?
I've asked the mod to fix the title.
