I think that the indians think that AI is like the Star Trek computer where you just ask it to do something and it's done-magically,total obedience like a cyber-dalit slave but it really isnt. Hence the constant utter obsession with AI which Modi himself hosted an "indian AI summit"which turned into a fiasco with pirated,rebranded CHINESE products like Unitree's GO2 dog robot etc and rampant theft of display products from many vendors.China being an AI superpower is basically unbearable to indians as it exposes them as tech frauds writ large.
290km? That mostly covers the Strait of Hormuz where no US ships was going there in the first place. This feels more like an Israeli disinformation campaign designed to pressure Trump to stop delaying the war with Iran immediately. Combined with the supposed Russian missile deal article from an couple days ago.
Not reposting Japanese winology on this news because you guys deserve sanity but the "Japanese secretly love being nuked" theory is holding strong.
Even in the hellscape that is the free world Japanese has to be the most deranged people currently. This thing is not over. I'm confident They will be insane until the very day Tokyo is flatten or sth. An island of eternal fascists. simply fascinating
Do you guys remember the now infamous Chinese "HY-2 Silkworm"??? also used in this area of the world? IIRC Iran-Iraq War circa 1980'sWe Chinese have come a loooong way until today

290KM is only to satisfy MTCR. China was never a signatory so doesn’t need to comply in any case, it just does so to keep its arms sales as uncontroversial as possible. But with US and allies openly violating MTCR with weapons sales and transfers to Ukraine, I think the likelihood of China actually limiting any missiles it sells to Iran to such ranges is as likely as America not attacking Iran.
The very most China will do to limit the missiles is probably sell Iran with missiles that can do 290km out of the box that had some solid fuel segments removed, plus some ‘spare’ fuel segments and a print out telling Iranians to never ever insert those spare fuel blocks into the spaces shown on the printout and to never ever tick the box in the missile fire control software called ‘remove range limiter’.
Frankly, the USN will literally have to be even more stupid than the Indians to believe the 290km advertised missile range as the Indians were in believing in the PL15’s advertised range.
The main thing giving me doubt about this story is the timing. It will take far longer to get the missiles delivered and Iranians combat ready to use them than it would probably take for America to start attacking. But then I guess AShMs is probably the weapon that will take the least amount of time to get basic combat proficiency on. Especially if you already have experience using other AShMs as there will be a lot of commonality in general operating principles.
These claims are meaningless because if China did nobody would be talking about it. China doesn't even sell missiles to North Korea or Russia, it's not Chinese policy to sell certain class of weapons to anyone other than Pakistan. Having said that let's also not pretend Iran or Yemen has a robust electronics or composite industry capable of building their own missiles without outside "help".
China's electronics industry is so powerful that the components used in Yemen may simply be sourced from Huaqiangbei and not even require official intervention.
Sorry if this is too outside the scope of news posted here, but I did a huge eyebrow raise after seeing this in my news feed today. For anyone like me who got fleeced during the first borefest of a fight between them (or any Mayweather fight tbh), I recommend to everyone here, DO NOT BUY INTO THE HYPE. You will get fleeced if you pay the likely overpriced PPV for this and you WILL regret it! These two senior citizens took it easy the first time since they didn’t want to get hurt. Imagine 11 years later!
