If we didn't recognize it for what it was then how come a British newspaper coined the term 'Blitzkrieg'? Smartarse.
Its not as if we could go "Oh, they're using that Blitzkrieg thing again, right oh" and just stop it.
They overwhwelmed us and if it wasn't for the existence of the channel they wouldn't have stopped at France. Why do you think we don't know this, are you retarded?
What you claimed, if you can remember that far back, was that the Spanish civil war was a rehearsal for Blitzkreig. It clearly was not. It isn't big or clever to change the argument to suit yourself when you realise you have lost.
I am perfectly aware of the failings of the British and French forces in 1939. It was you who started the whole row off by saying that there was no real fight put up against the Germans before America entered the war. Several people have pointed out to you Allied victories before America came along but you also fail to realise that 'losing' isn't the same as 'not trying'.
Not only that but you claim that America allied itself to Europe in both world wars. Where do you imagine Germany is, Africa?
Waynos, If you were in america we would call you lameos!
Every thing is new for you now isn't it? NO wonder there!!
British papers could have named it but by nature british mentality is such that you guys thought about it at tea and then went on to play a spot of golf!
No but you are showing many signs of mental inadequacy!
You could have gathered all your allies and held them back and secured atleast a small landing zone!
Also, why did the BEF go to the maginot line they could have entrenched themselves near the Belgian border if they knew that there was this huge gap in the line!
Don't tell me you couldn't convince the belgians to do that!
I said it was a place to try out their BlitzKreig tactics not a rehersal !
Don't claim that you defeated the gemans in battle of briton and you would next go and route them from Europe! You fought only an air battle with them in the battle of briton not a full scale land war.
What have you been smoking ? The only thing I can tell you is ' weed is a killer !'Get straight man!'and also 'Crack is whack!'
Am i responding to a delirious raving psychotic? I have never said that America was fighting WW
America sided with Europe through ww1 and 2 .

We have our own trainer FTC-2000 while indian airforce's training is so bad that they are called the flying coffin and they had to buy some british trainer recently. See again, they can't make crap.
Firstly, I would really like to see china do an air-exercise with the Indians and secondly that would make you less conceited.
They have better pilots than you guys have--No doubt about that.
Thier accident rate is very high and understanably so because their pilots make a transition from sub sonic trainers to a super sonic aircraft, i would like to see your airmen do that and find out how many of them make it!
Also do you remember your guys actually crashed into an american recon "buzz" if that signifies your engagement strategies then your pilots need better combat training. BTW even if your pilots crashed they wouldn't publish it would they? being authoritarian state and all.
You guys have a numerical advantage but so did the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Briton , numerical advantage doesn't means air-supremacy!
They problem with comparing PLAA with any other major air force is that we don't exactly know the scope and power of airforce so all comprisions are nothing but speculative.
Indians can't make crap!!

I don't have any ill feelings towards the british about WW2 or the BEF or any thing in perticular, just trying to infuriate people!
Childish I know, but FUN nonetheless!
Cheers WAYNOS, SMIKLE..whatever!

I think its fairly well established that they didn't copy it, they bought it. In fact they are possibly more capable than India as the changes that took place between the Lavi and J-10 are far more extensive than any mods India has made to the Su-30, as the photo's illustrate.
