Just know that any of those Foreign Military Sales have to go through the appropriate US military channels.

So..if Japan now has Aegis (which they do), it's because the US gum'nt want them to have it.

If Osama Bin Laden at one time was outfitted with US weaponry, it's because the US wanted him to have it.]]>Feb 25th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/

or are they trying to wave hands silently to other car makers that they can do oem for them or hoping others outsourcing china for car manufacturing?]]>Feb 25th 2007 4:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/

Aegis dates back to the late 70's. Are you terribly surprised the figured it out after 20+ years?

Are you saying Raytheon sold China the phased-array radar system for a buck? Come on now...]]>Feb 25th 2007 5:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/
Some of it comes from the so called dual technologies which can be used for consumer and military. Hand held GPS systems built for consumers in China. Rocket guidance technology suposedly to help China get its satelites into space safely is similar to that used to get an ICBM to its target. Optics, lazers, digital information systems, microchip technology. I'm not saying we gave it all to them, but they are certainly getting a lot of R&D for free when foreign companies bring the manufaturing to them. It's much easier to improve upon an existing technology than to design it from scratch in most cases.

If Toyota decides to pull out of China, it doen't matter, China already has the hybrid auto technology. Fuel cell cars built in China just give them another dual use technology. China doesn't have one of the fastest growing militaries in the world for nothing. Question is...Just who are they building that military up for?]]>Feb 25th 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/
The US does not have monopoly on technology. The Germans were the ones who first developed the jet engine, and numerous other technologies have been developed elsewhere. Some people, I'm not saying you...but some people automatically assume if "they" (meaning non-US) develop something it must mean they "stole" it from elsewhere. Ideas do not stop at borders.

Here's something which I find to be quite cool...the Squall torpedo...a supersonic underwater torpedo which dates back to ...the late 70's. Did the Russians steal this technology? I honestly don't believe so.

They think the Kursk sub which went down in the Baltic was sunk by one of these which pre-detonated in the torpedo tube.

I'm sure a lot of theft IS involved nowadays...definitely. When everyone from Pakistan and India has a nuke, I'm quite sure there is some intrigue going on. So I'm in agreement with you...loose lips sink ships.

That said, it's true that the Humvee is a rolling monstrosity with a mighty thirst. No need to complain about it though, seeing as the Humvee is in fact a military vehicle... not a SUV ;P]]>Feb 25th 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/

Funny thing is the first link claims the US tried to do the stealing.]]>Feb 25th 2007 8:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/
Nobody here was saying that the US has a monopoly on technology, or that Russians were dumb - isn't that a country that considers chess a spectator sport? The Soviets were also smart enough to reverse-engineer and manufacture B-29's from a couple of captured ones in WW2. Was that theft, or did they just answer the door when opportunity knocked? But, they DID steal a lot of technology from us - heard of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?

PS - The Germans and Brits developed the jet engine simultaneously - the US didn't even have any until the Brits permitted GE to license their stuff. Of course, the Soviets got their jets from the Brits also. ]]>Feb 25th 2007 9:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/25/dongfeng-humvee-spotted-testing/Feb 25th 2007 9:11PM
