China fakes air force training video with clips from Top Gun

[Betonov]

IF the footage is good, why not. I heard that the street shooting scene in HEAT is used by the marines as a textbook retreat under enemy fire

But these communists have a habit of taking movies and showing them to their people that this is actually real. I wonder if they seen star wars

Good movie, good scene. But I wonder if it really is a good idea to take it for real life education. Thats like taking the scene of the bride versus the crazy 88 for sword fighting excercises.

Maybe we should try for "find the things they did right." It'll use less bandwidth for a far shorter list.

strange, I guess I'm missing something. Where are the mistakes

OK, first pic it looks like they borrowed the weapons from an airsoft club, it's a mismatch of german/american/chineese weapons from cold war/WW2...

And third pic, the wrapping areound the gun prevents from repeating the weapon, its wrapped around the bolt

Pic 1: For starters: Uniforms are not even close. Camo netting. Black boots. Weapons assortment is way off.

Pic 2: Ammo bandoleers are wrong. Top-feeding magazine LMG not in US WW2 arsenal. No rank insignia on anyone's uniform.

Pic 3: Simplest issue - he isn't going to do much good with a plugged barrel on that carbine. Camo pattern not US. Helmet not US.

Well that and all the troops are Asians in US Uniforms with Airborne Patches...

(Yes I know there was a Japanese-American Division in Europe...)
