Stock of the United States’ largest defence contractor Lockheed Martin was downgraded to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank by 14.5 percent, with a price target of $523
I mean yeah, the purpose of these companies is to put taxes back into the pockets of billionaires instead of spending them on stuff they’re meant for like infrastructure, healthcare, education, and so on. That’s why majority Americans live like dogs.
Private sector in China is not allowed to operate the same way the private sector operates in the west. So, your whole comparison is fundamentally flawed.
There is zero evidence of any damage done to Iran. There is no satellite footage, no videos of the explosions. There is nothing. When Iran attacked Israeli base we had actual hard evidence of what the results were. One has to be an incredibly credulous rube to believe that Israel and Yankeestan were able to attack Iran when they’re unable to provide any evidence of that. You’re such a great illustration how effective propaganda can be on people who are incapable of critical thinking.
I have a UK generals quotes. Not as good as video, but better than nothing. I think you have just Irans public stance? With that I’d say mine has more evidence.
No, I think Yankeestan would release footage of that if they actually hit something. Just like Iran released footage of the base in Israel when they hit it. If you’re dumb enough to just read unsourced statement with zero supporting evidence and believe it uncritically, then what else is there to say about you. I’m guessing D stands for dufus.

I’m sure it’ll be just as successful at sucking up billions in taxes with nothing to show for it.
Producing literally hundreds of a single type of airplane with orders for the next decade or so isn’t exactly “nothing to show for”.
And even if you discount the actual sales, getting billions in development budget from the US government is pretty good for business.

Opposed to the Chinese corporations which are famously basically charity organizations?
What exactly is your point? Your moving goalposts to completely different planets.
It’s yogthos lol, can’t expect anything less my friend
Hey quick question genius, is Chinese military industry state owned or private? 🤡
Looks like both.
It’s pretty much all state owned, and in cases where private industry is used, it’s tightly controlled including party members being embedded within the companies. In fact, the role of private industry in China has been declining overall https://www.piie.com/research/piie-charts/2024/chinas-private-sector-has-lost-ground-state-sector-has-gained-share-among
Looks like AVIC is public and private, do you know the ownership breakdown?
China doesn’t use private sector for its military. Try to put a bit more work into your trolling.
I disagree.

CAC has been promoted to a state enterprise in 1990. Try harder.
Looks like it’s owned by Zhonghang Electronic Measuring Instruments, which is public? Or maybe they’re owned by AVIC which is both public and private?

Have you seen their performance in Iran recently? They seem really good air to ground.
You mean when Israel aborted the bulk of their attack because they got painted by radar?
No, I mean the one that took down nearly the entirety of Irans air defenses with less than 100 weapons.

send me a dm cause I have a bridge to sell you 😂
What’s your source that it was totally ineffective? Iran?

You think Iran would release videos of that?
