Designed to survive just three months, Yutu has been operating on the moon for over two years, lasting longer than the Soviet Union's 1970 moon rover Lunokhod 1, which spent 11 months on the moon.
P.L.A.A.F. and P.L.A.N. use J-10's for Short Patrol and Interception along PRC coastline.
Groups of U.S.A.F. F-22's were intercepted twice by J-10A in Aug 2015 and Feb 2016. Now, it seems the F-22's (which cannot handle Rain Water) are scared to enter PRC ECS ADIZ after being intercepted by J-10A on 2 different occasions.
Mind you, P.L.A.A.F. have not even used J-10B and J-10C yet.
Air-independent propulsion (AIP) is any marine propulsion technology that allows a non-nuclear submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen (by surfacing or using a snorkel). AIP can augment or replace the diesel-electric propulsion system of non-nuclear vessels.
Many Super-Dumb U.S.N. commanders finally realize that P.L.A.A.F. H-6K Bombers [equipped with nuclear-tipped YJ-12 hypersonic missiles] battle group can FRY U.S.N. warships.

when they are facing P.L.A. Integrated Fire Power.
