While I registered my account all the way back in 2023, I suppose it's still worthwhile to introduce myself properly (I honestly just learned that this thread exists tbh).
My name is Emily, I'm 20 years old and study aerospace engineering here in Germany. My father works for a well known European aviation giant, his father (so my grandfather) served in the Luftwaffe, meaning aviation runs in the family I guess. A select few may also know me from the Secret Projects Forum already, even fewer perhaps from Reddit?
Generally speaking I'm mostly versed in topics of related to Russian aviation, however I'm also an avid observer of US bomber projects, their history, development and deployment. More relevant to this forum though, I have taken a keen interest in the increasing pace of Chinese advancements in the military aviation sector and the quite impressive surface combatants constructed and put into service in China, going from soviet vessels, to modified designs to completely indigenous and powerful ships like the 052D or 055 destroyers. Which is why I mostly follow topics related to PLAAF fighter and bomber developments and the surface combatants of the PLAN, as well as threads related to Russian or US aviation as well. So that's where y'all will mostly interact with me.
I'm fluent in German, English and French and I'm starting my journey with Russian as well (sorry, Mandarin is too hard for me, so I'll rely on kind users and their translations here, lol).
All in all that's most of the relevant and semi-relevant stuff about my person.
