Liveleak description: Viral video showing Chinese forces retaking an island from foreign invaders. The most awesome part of the video is when the multiple "carrier killer" missiles re-entry maneuvering and overcome ships defenses. And yes, these Chinese weapons are all operational right now.
I agree that close to the beach and their coastal airfields they could overwhelm with sheer numbers.
I'm also sure they ask themselves what the price of a carrier battle group would be to them.
It's nice to see that all the computer graphic images of vehicles and weapons work. They're very scary.
I am not so sure.
I am still in awe that he has not been removed already.
‘The Chinese have made huge strides over what they were just 15 years ago.’
Yes it is amazing what one can accomplish with the help of Bill Clinton. He was very generous with our technology.
The US DOES have a “Space Command” as a part of the USAF.
Think about it, you don’t need a command structure if you have nothing to command........
+1
we want deal!!!
Say, from the vicinity of the Issaquah Mcdonalds?
“the USN and USMC”
You may want to mention the USAAF, as well.
Thanks.
I probably should not say this and most likely will regret it but what you wrote is more true than you realize. Oh no Mr Bill! Did you just say that?
Anybody else noticed the number on the ship?
East kinda sticks out, doesn’t it?
Yep, right out of Lake Union lol
I meant WEST
DUDE! Sssshhhhh! Loose lips sink ships! No one was supposed to know about them and you went and blew it! Let’s just hope the Chinese or their ilk are not reading this. Dang it. Be careful from now on, okay?
It wasn't just BJ or espionage. China has had the 2nd largest military budget for over a decade. When the budgets are normalized to account for salary differences (1/7 today, vs less than 1/10 a decade ago), I suspect China may have the larger one. Even if you're unable to steal the know-how, the nice thing about not being a technology pioneer is knowing that a particular approach is viable, thanks to the pioneer, who spent a whole bunch of money investigating alternatives that turned out to be blind alleys. Russia has been unable to keep up, mainly because of a procurement budget that is much smaller than China's. The Chinese will likely catch up in the next decade or so. Assuming we continue to take our treaty obligations vis-a-vis Japan, ROK and the PI seriously, we will likely end up engaging in skirmishes with the PLA Navy at some point in the near future. I hope that's all that will transpire. The thing about having to fight China at some point in the future, is that it would be the WWII equivalent of fighting the Axis Powers and the Soviet Union at the same time. All this while the erstwhile European powers are completely disarmed.
So what do you supposed the array handoff looks like in a DDG Aegis at 90 degrees?
They have never tested ICBM’s on an actual moving target its communist(chicoms) propaganda like the Soviet did and still do.
Take them out at the apogee.
Clinton not only approved sales of sensitive aeronautical information and technology to China he gave them Most Favored Nations Status allowing both a massive amounts of slave labor manufactured goods to flood into our markets, but also massive amounts of our trade dollars to flow into their military industrial complex.
The entire rise of China, Iran, and North Korea is a result of Democrat and particularly Clinton vacillation and treachery. Add in a heavy dose of Obama and we are in very big trouble.
