We've been in it the whole time. The signs have been intensifying for a couple decades now.
>>
>>64536591
The U.S. losing 4 super hornets in less than 8 months doesn't mean hornets are bad aircraft.
>>
>>64536541
It isn't a high bar since Russia can't make modern avionics.
>>
>>64536662
You have to look at the circumstances. What is the fleet size? What caused the hull losses?
>>
>>64536685
"I can't speak for China, since they keep everything a secret, but in the case of the U.S., suddenly losing 5 aircraft several months apart compared to 3 in the decade before is troubling to say the least. It doesn't change the fact that super hornets are great aircraft.
>>
>>64536691
America loses military aircraft all the time, that doesn't mean they're unreliable. We just fly them a lot.
If the Chinese ramp up their flanker exercises and get as many flight hours as Americans do they'll start losing airframes too.
We lose an F-16 about 1.8 per 100,000 flight hours, we lose two of them every year on average. We have a LOT of F-16s.

>>
>>64536691
'However, your point which correctly points out that suddenly losing aircraft does not mean a plane is bad, cannot be applied to the Chinese fleet precisely because of those reasons.' Like I said, let's look at the circumstances.
Two of these incidents were from friendly fire and the carrier maneuvering, not related to the reliability of the plane. The remaining two are related to mechanical and reliability issues, with the third yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, all of China's J-15 fleet crashes have been mechanical failures, with fleet commanders and pilots complaints even making it past the censorship.
That is with a fleet size one order of magnitude smaller than than the F/A-18 fleet, with probably another order of magnitude less flight hours. When all of that is put together, it's not only a statistically, but also qualitatively unreliable plane.
>>
>>64536723
Yes, i’m sure all those mentally ill shills that keep popping up are totally not real, very convincing.
The last tard spergout was only, what, 2 days ago?
>>
>>64536733
I mean they're flankers at the end of the day. China made hundreds of them for their air force, so why the sudden reliability issues for their navy?
>>64536699
>If the Chinese ramp up their flanker exercises and get as many flight hours as Americans do they'll start losing airframes too.
Correct. My original response was to the Chinese flanker being better than the Russian one, to which I got the response is their crashes is proof they aren't any better. You're making my point for me that crashes aren't a sole indication of aircraft reliability, hence the super hornet, and as you mentioned the F-16

"Denis Pushilin, the head of the Russian occupation administration in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, said several installations at the Zuivska and Starobesheve thermal power plants had shut down following an “unprecedented” Ukrainian attack overnight from Monday to Tuesday. "

>Why are you so butthurt chinky?
THe CCP are not butthurt, they are scared. In 2022 they thought Russia was the second greatest military power on earth and in 2022 bought Russian S300 air defense systems which their copied and have a less capable domestic version of as their primary air defense. Their economy is imploding and they are watching what seemed to Peking a mighty warlord Putin who they sought to emulate and which they were a military client for weapons systems go down in flames. Scared little chang is pffing out his little chest pretending to his slave population facing destitution that China is a great and powerful thing while desperately trying to showpiece and larp as a western power from the 1950s using bits of soviet junk and crap copies of 1950s ships built to to the standards of disney cruise ships but thrown together quickly with no quality assurance. Look said chang pointing at his purchased piece of shit societ era carrier and scale model of a 1950s US carrier, we real strong, no look at manufacturing order collapse, property buuble implosion and deflationary recession! (pls buy chinese made plastic cup holder, pls, pls)
>>
>>64536853
Not all Flankers are navalised. The ones that are create extra stress on the airframes and most aircraft not designed from the ground up for naval operations tends to do poorly.
Naval operations just tend to result in more failures by the merit its naval based, especially with CATOBAR involved.
>>
>>64537254
Just about nothing in your post checks out.

For starters, the chinks aquired S-300s as far back as 1993, and then they developed their own upgraded systems from it over the next 20 years.

Ah the hypersonic meme. Dispite the fact that Russia found out that they get shot down by western tech just like everything else and gulaged the developers responsible for overhyping them?

The Chinsese claim to 'own the pacific' coming from what is effectively a state controlled propaganda anus of the Chinse communist party is evidently bogus.Given that the Japanese, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malysia, Singapore, Australia etc exist and are armed and hostile let alone the US. It is showing every reason the Chinese economy is imploding hard. That fine line between spouting shit to your own slave farm population to defect from a failing single party states who's only achivements come from foreign direct investments from the US and EU and pissing off all your neighbours and the people who funded your electrification which due to utter shit like that is now gone, gone, gone.
