if they are making this public... imagine what they're testing that they aren't making public?  :lipsrsealed:

Exactly, stuff we can't even begin to comprehend no doubt.

In my opinion, this is just mind games with the chinese. Convenient how both of the prototypes lost contact and self terminated. I think it's to scare everyone about the tools they have available, a bit like the cold war.

As Guy said, this *should* be strictly confidential stuff only known to US government but they're broadcasting it? I'm sure behind the scenes somewhere secret there's stuff being developed and tested that we can only imagine seeing in terminator, harry potter (Invisible cape) and star wars. There was a rumour a while back that the US government had developed and tested an invisibility device. The trick is to make the light bend around it, thus making it invisible. The device was only capable of making an object the size of a grain of sand invisible, but the fact that they got as far as making a grain of sand invisible is enough proof that with time there will be tanks roaming around in foreign countries completely invisible to enemies.

Pointless seeing as you would just need a thermal detecting device to spot it.

Yeh, but you wouldn't know where to point ther thermal detector in the first place  :grin:

I remember reading somewhere a while back that it generally takes military technology about 20 years to filter down to consumer level. So the technology in todays 'cutting edge' gadgets etc was actually being originally developed back in the 90s!

I doubt very much the Chinese are worried in any way about this.  The chinese launched an anti satellite missile in 2007. That put the willies up the US more than anything.  No matter how sophisticated the US armed forces are, knock out their satellites and they're fecked.

They have also developed an aircraft carrier killing missile. Whoa!

Agreed. Plus the Americans aren't really that intelligent enough anyway.
