| #3 Interesting, and at roughly the same time China reportedly orders up to 15 BE amphibian planes from the Russians, equipped wid side ASW radars-sonars, and along wid up to 60 KAMOV armed helos. Speculation on mil messageboards is that China will use the KAMOVS on board its newest surface warfare destroyers or frigate types, or else on the VARYAG after refit is complete. While some believe the BE's will replace China's aging SH-4 amphib planes, others speculate the BE's will be used as a protoype and test bed for a larger, follow-on armed amphib to be used for RR [Rapid Reaction/quickstrike]littoral defense. |

| #2 I'm sure their assembly line will run just fine, except for all those prayer breaks. "Lessee, did I torque those engine pylon bolts to spec before afternoon prayers?" "You! Get that wing assembly to the next station right away." "Hookay, Boss. What the heck, Inshallah." |
