Here is a simple experiment anyone can perform. All it takes is 1 minute.This is Zhang Zhan's proper name: 张展Copy and search for her on Google News.You don't need to read the Chinese characters.Focus on the web links.What do you see?VOA, RFI, RFA, EPOCH TIMES, DW, NYT, TRT.The usual suspects in the China bashing cottage industry.The source provider this time is probably VOA, which stationed its reporters outside the court to create media buzz for its foreign audience.Why was 张展 slapped with such a heavy sentence? She was recalcitrant, a serial offender of the “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” law. She had already been warned and convicted repeatedly in the preceding years, and her license to practice law revoked.张展’s claim to fame? Her videos and commentary of Wuhan under lockdown posted to YouTube.Now, how did a middle-age unemployed woman make her way into Wuhan in the midst of the world's most stringent lockdown and freely travel around the city, breaking social distancing rules and endangering numerous people? Residents couldn't even walk their dogs and this lady was all over the city for 3 months!How did she enter the city? How did she evade capture? Where did she stay? Who helped her? Who paid her expenses? Why is the cottage industry promoting her cause like she is a rock star?She is a mainlander in trouble with mainland law and the only ones interested in her case are foreigners! Don't you find it odd?

ElectroMagnetic Interference, EMI, (also known as Radio Frequency Interference, RFI) can cause that if the LED lights contain electronics.The EMI comes from the power supply, and probably does not contain any microwave energy. Our microwave oven used to induce a hum in some cordless headphones, and static in an older CRT based TV set.If this is the problem, the cure is a Line filter - Wikipedia or a large ferrite core,"Ferrite Core 1/2" Cord Noise Suppressor" from www.parts-express.com!.(no affiliation, this was just the first Google ad for a ferrite core that specified inner diameter.) I got a line filter from a dead microwave oven that had been taken apart for other purposes.You can either put the filter on the EMI source, or on each of the devices which suffer from it.

When talking about Single Engine Fighter selection process, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa had said on the Air Force Day in October that IAF needs Three Months to respond to RFIs and issue the RFP (Tender).And as IAF had already gone through Technical Trials during the MMRCA Programme, the Selection of the Aircraft Should Not Take More Than One Year.So, IAF could issue the RFP sometime mid-2018 and The conclusion could be submitted to the Government by October 2019.Most Probably the Winner would be -Rafale wins this because of Several Reasons :Commonality in Fleet ::Different types of Aircrafts mean setting up Different Types of Maintenance Support Facilites and Different Training etc. etc.Though it is not Impossible, it would be Costly.But as Rafale already has Support Facilities in India for the 36 Rafales India has Ordered, It would be Cost-effective.K9+ & K10 ::Snecma is working to modify, certify and integrate the Kaveri on a Light Combat Aircraft(As K9+) airframe before 2020.A later phase in the partnership will involve modifications on the Kaveri for a twin configuration on India’s AMCA(as K10) fifth generation fighter concept and Su-30 MKI.An altered Non-Reheat Version would also be developed for the Ghatak UCAV.If further Money is needed, then India has to opt for more Rafales to continue the flow of money in these projects as well as for Demanding ToT.In the case of K10, if Rolls Royce fails, then SNECMA will kick in. But the chance of this is Very Low.Already Won Once because of Superiority ::Rafale has already won once in a MMRCA tender defeating its competitors. So it has a very high chance of winning again. Loaded with 14 Hard Points, it has the Highest Number of Hard Points among its contenders and it can also carry an Array of Quality Weapons.1 . Air-to-air :Magic IIMBDA MICAMBDA Meteor2 . Air-to-ground :MBDA ApacheMBDA Storm Shadow/SCALP-EGAASM-Hammer (SBU-38/54/64)GBU-12 Paveway IIGBU-22 Paveway IIIGBU-24 Paveway IIIGBU-49 Enhanced Paveway IIAS-30LMark 82It can also carry Indian Weapons if needed.ToT :: Full Scale Technology of Rafale would be Transferred if some 200 aircrafts in Total is Ordered. But 200 seems a very big number. Double of the Airforce Requirement. So, the MoD somehow has to convince Dassault that if it is not willing to Transfer Full Scale Technology, atleast Transfer some techs like :Thales Spectra - WikipediaOptronique secteur frontal - WikipediaThe RFI issued states that India will buy 110 Jets, out of which about 75 Percent would be Single Seater and Rest Twin Seater Aircraft.It also says that the procurement will have a maximum of 15 Percent aircraft in Flyaway State and the Remaining 85 Percent aircraft will have to be Made in India. This means the First 16 or 17 aircrafts will be Procured Directly and the Remaining 92 or 93 will be Manufactured in India.Significantly, it is mentioned that the contract will have to be executed with an Indian Strategic Partner (ISP) which can be a Private Sector or even a State Run Company, like HAL.But as in the MMRCA 2007 tender, The Number of Engines, Single or Twin, has not been mentioned.This means Twin Engine Fighters are Back on Track.Lockheed Martin has already tied up with the Tata Group to produce one of these latest variant of its F-16,-F-16 Block 70/72 E[May also be G] : Single Seat Variant.F-16 Block 70/72 F[May also be H] : Twin Seat Variant.Saab also has tied up with the Adani Group to Produce one of these latest variant of its Gripen,-JAS 39E: Single-Seat production version developed from the Gripen-NG program.JAS 39F: Twin-Seat version of the Gripen-E Variant.Boeing might has/will tie up with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to Produce one of these latest variants of its Hornet,-F/A-18E Super Hornet: Single Seat Variant.F/A-18F Super Hornet: Twin Seat Variant.Dassault had tied up with Reliance to Produce one of these latest variants of its Rafale,-Rafale DH : Twin-Seat Variant.Rafale EH : Single-Seat Variant.Eurofighter hasn’t shown interest till yet.Mikoyan is most possibly going to pitch one of these latest variants of its Mig,-MiG-35 : Single-seat Variant.MiG-35D : Twin-seat Variant.Transfer of Technology (TOT) and Offsets would be involved in the whole Deal.It is still a Mystery though why the IAF allowed Dual Engine Fighters in the Deal along with Single Engine Fighters.For Single Engine category, I think F-16 has the Upper hand as it Packs some 5th GEN Specs in it. Like :Advanced AESA Radar ::It is equipped with AN/APG 83 AESA radar. Described as Agile beam, it can perform Air to Air and Air to Ground Search and Track simultaneously. The noise reduction features of this one has made its range improved to almost 70 miles almost 84 km for engagement.The Image quality in Air to Ground mode is described as ‘Imagery-Class’. Just the same that is acquired from Satellites. They can be acquired from long distances for air to ground targets and using its Synthetic Aperture Radar Mode pilots can Locate and Recognise the Ground Targets. Prioritise them and Engage.The AN/APG-83 provides F-16s with 5th Generation Fighter Radar Capabilities by leveraging Hardware and Software commonality with F-22 and F-35 AESA Radars.Auto GCAS ::Automatic Ground Colision Avoidance System saves F 16 from Crashes.Continuously tracking pilot’s awareness with respect to decreasing altitude, it makes the Pilot aware and Turns up the aircraft automatically if it goes too close to Ground. Because while manoeuvring the aircraft to follow an enemy aircraft, the enemy may try to run away by staying low and outmatching F 16 while taking ups and downs. The F 16 may then be hitting a Mountain or be Directed towards the Ground. Then this system becomes ‘Tactically Important’.The US Air Force and Lockheed Martin plans to develop the same system for the F-22 and F-35.The Gripen E also packs some great features in it. Like :GaN Avionics ::Its avionics are built of Gallium Nitride, which delivers Superior Performance over conventional Gallium Arsenide avionics.Selex Galileo-Raven ES-05 AESA Radar offers a 200° Coverage owing to its Swashplate Technique. It sees where others are blind.Network Centric Warfare ::Gripen’s superior situation awareness is ensured through an AESA radar, IRST Passive Sensor, HMD, Cutting-Edge Avionics, Next Generation Data Processing and a State-of-the-Art Cockpit.Gripen E has Network Centric Warfare Capability. Connecting all the Internal and External Sensors (RAVEN, IRST, EW39, ATFLIR Pod) it offer the best responses to all the available Threats.Only F-35 has this kind of a capability after Gripen E._______________________________________________But the Main Point is Somewhere Else.Buying F-16 might Help IAF in getting allowance from USA for Buying -Avenger Armed Jet Powered Combat DroneBut that ONLY IF Single Engine Fighters are Considered at the First Place.The Avenger part also works in the Case of F/A-18.What's your choice ?
