Doubt it.
Maybe when they have a 13 carrier navy, skies filled with post-Raptor designs of THEIR OWN ORIGIN, A-10 type Warthogs, W88’s that Bill and Hilary didnt give them, and freedom loving steel eating special forces that can match our own patriots....then maybe.
Until then, no chance.
They are well on the way.
For real.
I agree with you? I recall vividly during the Cold War how we were being told the Russian military was our equal and on the verge of surpassing us at any time.
It was only after they collapsed (thanks to R Reagan)that we learned we had a 5-1 advantage in nukes while the CIA was telling us they were our equal as far as nukes.
