This will not end well.
China has radar you would think they would.
Blah blah.
Like Mike Tysen used to say “everyone’s got a plan until they get hit”.
It seems IMPOSSIBLE that not ONE US navy ship was severely damaged or sunk by THOUSANDS of missiles and drones thrown at them by the Houthis and whomever else the past several years.
No way would Chinese vessels have intercepted what seems like EVERY SINGLE ONE.
We fried a lot of them with some weapon I can’t even understand!
Yes, I know...DEI messed with the military.
It didn’t mess with the insane innovation and leaps in technology of our military assets.
People just like to b..tch a lot.
China would never know what hit it.
I truly believe that a naval war would leave the Chinese fleet at the bottom of the ocean with far fewer US losses.
What is the order of countries that were supposed to DEVASTATE us with their new technology, faster and smaller ships, superior numbers...etc. etc.?
Russia. Iran. China. Some even said ISIS was fast and furiuos and hit too fast and hid too well.
Russia can’t beat ukraine!! In over 2 years!!
Iran’s still a joke...as Israel has proven.
NK’s forces aren’t turning out to be too impressive in Russia-Ukraine war.
What has China actually demonstated in the face of a real attack recently?
Nothing.
Lol
So what WE gots duh mos duh-verse army in da worl! We be WOKE and sheeeeeiiiit, knowhumsayin? DASS whasssup!
Whether the report is true or not, every sovereign nation needs eyes.
So, a Chinese copy of the PAVE series radars. How 1980’s
The COBRA DANE was installed in and online in 1977.
You can even see one close up in the old abandoned Sentinel system - the Parrie Pyramid. Old tech.
My impression is the vast majority of launches by Houthis targeted cargo vessels and tankers. The US Navy was intercepting those, and sometimes when the flight path was aimed beyond the Navy ship, they could claim to be targeted.
So no reported hits would not be surprising, even without super duper intercept mechanisms.

Was once capitalist influenced shopping mall but now is converted to service of people’s defense system against imperialist West. Still miss the Dollar Hot Dog and 24 Hour Game Palace, though.
It’s like the old us Pave Paws.
I wonder if they can see my penis that far away?
Only if it is a threat.

Besides the fact that SCMP is an official CCP propaganda outlet, the structure is likely crumbling now since it was likely built with sub-standard concrete, using foam as a filler which is typical for Chinese buildings
